Armored Core V feels, well, like an Armored Core game. Graphics don’t feel like they were improved as much as the online infrastructure has been, and at times, some of the single player missions can feel a little mundane.
Armored Core V revolutionizes the series with a completely new atmosphere and a strong multiplayer component to compliment its single player mode. In addition, the online mode has been completely redesigned to focus on battles on a global scale, based on team play, absolutely immense. With mechs that are smaller than the previous chapters, Armored Core V is more focused on tactics used effectively…
