Para ser de la PSX y el primero, es muy bueno, desde la costumización, hasta los controles aunque estos lo bueno es que se pueden configurar que es algo que se le olvida a la gente.

Eso si, chingue a su madre los 2 Nine Balls y el nivel final.

That final level almost broke me, but aside from the awful platforming at the end it was a very enjoyable experience. The camera is a bit fucked, menus should be faster and the difficulty is kind of all over the place, but customizing your AC and seeing it in action is pretty fun. A solid foundation for sure.

some of the missions are pretty shit but the game's cool

damn, this shit kinda clunky, but i managed to beat the intro test first try! Win!

(i'm probably going straight to Armored Core 2 after i'm finished)

Used to get stuck on Nineball for weeks as a kid because I was stubborn.

Played on the PSP.
My love of mechas brought me to this game which looks very good for a PS1 game; the beginning cinematic is amazing but even the game itself while in motion looks quite good.

The controls are so weird and GOD being thrown to combat without telling me what to press was not what I was expecting.
once you get used to the controls it does not control bad, a bit janky but that's more on it being a PS1 game than any of the game's qualities.
The customization is very interesting and as always from From Software there's a LOT of stats.
The story is not very present, the main thing is you piloting and customizing your mech, a shame since mecha normally has very interesting stories in my opinion.
the enemies are similar to your ACs but the maps you fight in feel kind of same-y and not very interesting after a while.

After some missions I got bored but I completely understand why people love Armored Core and I will try other titles in the series for sure.
