Elden Ring developer FromSoftware revived its long-dormant giant robot series and delivered stunning omnidirectional mech combat.
That's especially true because you can't level up in Armored Core. A feature called 'OS tuning' does offer some limited attack and defense upgrades with hard caps, but you can't grind to pump stats until you're strong enough to crush opponents with ease.
Speaking of dying repeatedly, Fires of Rubicon does have some qualities familiar to Souls and Elden Ring fans new to Armored Core — most notably, in its high difficulty and epic bosses.Giant boss battles were the most recognizable to me, and — whether despite that or because of it — the aspect I struggled with the most initially. I found myself pining for the comparatively limited movement of Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
Conversely, if you're a glutton for punishment yet unsure about your interest in a mech game, give Fires of Rubicon a shot. You may find, as I did, that the core philosophy of Miyazaki and FromSoftware is precisely what wins you over — that difficulty deepen the stakes and the joy you'll feel when you finally prevail. Also, it's a blast to zip around in robot armor with shoulder cannons and laser guns.
