The singleplayer is sizeable though and enough to keep you very busy.Īpart from that, just jump in and see what Armored Core games appeal to you. The only caveat here is that Verdict Day had an extensive clan based online component which no-one plays anymore (although the servers are still active). Not only in terms of the “comprehensive” controls but also having to switch between scan and combat views, as well as dealing with varying armor and weapon types that cancel each other out (think rock, paper, scissors but with high speed mecha armed to the teeth).

It also lacked a lot of the more technical control restrictions of the later PlayStation 2 games and was consequently a lot more fun as a result.

In that sense, Armored Core 3 is the most accessible and polished of the classic Armored Core games for newer players.
