Very fun. Still working out the settings

Good game. Very fun PvE shooter. Team killing is a good addition. Strategem system is fun and really visually appealing.

Fixed the below using Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4

Game was fun but for some reason now I press the play button...nothing happens. Verified files - All files verified, Uninstall + Reinstall - same issue. Restart PC - Still doesn't work.

Game is unplayable and online resources don't seem to paint a path forward.

Incredible Art
Music is awesome
Items are moving in the right direction
Definitely needs more time in the oven, but they're doing good fixing it.

My gateway drug to mortal kombat....
Honestly more fun than actual fighting games sometimes

They made my favorite Roblox Game (Miner's Haven) into slay the spire. Northernlion's marketing helped and now my gourd is pogged

Finally a game worth it's salt. $10 for a complete experience that works out of the box. Great horror gameplay loop. Incredibly fun. More games need to be built like this

Not too bad. Low Price of $5 was a good change. I honestly wish it would go free to play. The houses having decorations is cool but you can't go in other people's houses in game so it doesn't really add much

Very easy to learn fighter. First MK I've ever played and I'm having lots of fun.

You may have heard online the tutorial boss is too hard. It's not, just jump at it, swing your sword, keep shooting, and stun with missiles right before your sword recharges. I'm by no means a good gamer. I play Rimworld and Factorio primarily. If I can do it, you can do it.

TL:DR Very Customization focused Mech Fighter / Shooter Hybrid that for the most part lets you play however you want.

I have loved almost every minute with this game. The game does use both trigger / bumpers and all both analog sticks at the same time which can be quite demanding, but man does it feel good when it all comes together.

The game allows for literally any combination of parts as long as the legs have the strength to carry the weight, and the battery has energy to support the demands of the weapons.

The boss fights are very fun, but very very challenging, often requiring multiple attempts.

I haven't played other Armored core titles before but I have played Elden Ring. While I can see some of the inspiration from Fromsoft's other souls games, this does not feel like a souls game. I love the usage of an intricate stagger system and soft lock auto-aim features, while still getting to experience something new with the fast-paced dash heavy game play.

The voice acting is very, very well done, and the writing is not bad at all. Some jokes are corny, but I found myself actually chuckling so I can't hate too much.

Very solid 9/10 game for the $60 price tag. My only complaint is I've setup my mech on mission 9 or so and I have not had to change it ever since. I wish there were some more options that accomplish my heavy weapons goals aside from dual Gatling + dual shoulder mounted dual grenades (yes you read that right. 4 grenade launchers on my shoulders)

Is good. Tutorials fall short very quickly after the first few levels but the gameplay is great and there are good youtube and wiki resources available.
