The briefing

About this game

Armored Core 3 puts players in control of a Raven mercenary piloting a customizable battle machine through a range of missions, including mech combat and seek-and-destroy operations.

Successful missions provide payment that can be spent on new equipment, including weapon upgrades, improved shields, and Exceed Orbit units—small hovering gun emplacements that add firepower to the mech.

The game also includes four-player deathmatch modes, where upgraded mechs battle until only one remains.
