Armored Core: for Answer
Ubisoft's Armored Core: For Answer is the 13th game in the franchise by From Software. As in other games in the series, players will be in control of large battle mechs that they will use to unleash death and destruction upon their foes. The game will feature two-player co-op and 8-player competitive modes. Not much is known about the story except that you are a small band of rebels going up against an evil military industrial corporation. The game will also feature high amounts of customization options, with over 130 pieces of new gear and over 400 total. Another anticipated feature is the addition of large-scale bosses called Arms Forts, which the player fights at various points in the plot. Still prominent in the game is AC 4's White Glint, whose actions have greatly affected the sequel.
More Information
Armored Core: For Answer plays similarly to AC 4. The player's mech has, in addition to the standard arm and shoulder weapons, two leg-based compartments for backup weapons should the player run out of ammunition or wish to change their tactics. Mechs are capable of vertical movement in the form of flying, as in the prequel, and use boosters to quickly traverse the battlefield; in an emergency, the player may activate Overed Boost for a short burst of intense speed. Also returning is the use of Assault Armor, a damaging explosion the player may initiate at the cost of hitpoints. As in AC 4, a mech's condition is measured by Primal Armor (or PA), which functions as shielding; and Armor Points (AP). Energy Points are used for boosting, flying, and firing energy weapons. Customization has been further enhanced since Armored Core 4; over 130 new pieces of equipment have been added. Most parts are available through the ingame store, but some must be unlocked by getting S ranks on missions or playing through campaigns on Hard mode. Online multiplayer for the game includes eight-player game modes Battle Royale, a free-for-all, and Team Deathmatch, as well as the option of cooperative campaign mode. However, players may only start a mission if both have it unlocked.
