Summary

Armored Core is a mecha video game launched in 1997 and serves as the inaugural title in the Armored Core series. It is an action game viewed from a third-person perspective.

Storyline

In a future seemingly far removed from our own, Earth's population is nearly eradicated by a devastating conflict known as the Great Destruction. The brutal aftermath compels the few who remain to seek refuge underground for half a century, during which time corporate entities rise to dominance. Chrome and Murakumo Millennium, the two most powerful corporations, are locked in an unending struggle for control, sowing chaos among the people. Yet this rivalry creates countless chances for the Ravens, a group of independent mercenaries. As the main character, you command an Armored Core, a massive mecha robot designed for battle.
