Armored Core is a mecha-based video game series for the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and mobile phone platforms. Armored Core games are third-person shooters, in which the player pilots a large mecha called an “Armored Core” (“AC” for short). He builds his AC from parts that can be bought from a shop or found in missions, or by fulfilling certain requirements. The player is typically a Raven (a member of a mercenary organization) that is hired by corporations to perform various missions.
