It's fun how what is for many the hardest game in the series can also be one of the easiest if you equip tank legs and the CR-WBW98LX. That thing is evil itself. Oh, you're a tank? No prob, 5 hits and you're dead. You're a lightweight? The moment you stop flying like a bee you get devastated. Two ACs? I don't care, get fucked. The arena? The only one in the series that doesn't require you to change build because it's completely doable with that cannon. Whoever put THAT THING in the game is an evil genius. The only times it doesn't work is when you need to complete objectives fast for the more complex routes AND against the "true" final boss (at least I couldn't make it work). Basically if tank legs are bad play hover or middleweight or whatever you want, if tank legs are ok for that mission equip the cannon and absolutely ANNIHILATE everything in your way.

I decided to give this game 1 star, 2* was too much. Artstyle aside it has NOTHING worth mentioning, it's a predatory gacha game with autobattle and sudden walls to keep you from playing the story if you don't grind. I understand making events that are hard and require more careful team building, but THE MAIN STORY? Are you serious? Just because my numbers are not crazy high?
I'd rather watch the story on YT and never touch this garbage again

Most fun I've had with a videogame ever. Finished after 102+ hours because I love farming and this game is so addicting I LOVE the gameplay so much it's unreal. Even with the crap AI and some unpolished jank here and there and weird game design choices this is a unique experience. I can't imagine what Dragon's Dogma 2 can be if THIS is a 5/5

This would be my favourite Ace Combat game if Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere didn't go so hard. The story is ok, I like how the game looks and plays, only a couple missions are not very fun, the gameplay is the best in the series and the OST is imo on par with Ace Combat 2 even if completely different. If you didn't get emotional during the climax of mission 19 you are lying

The game is good, but the card acquisition system and the aggressive mobile gaming monetization model are complete ass. Things have improved a bit since its first few months, but it's not enough. Not to mention the bots you find (especially in lower ranks), it's rare to face a real player. They do this so that you win more often and are compelled to keep playing instead of giving up and uninstalling the game. It's predatory and quite unethical, even if the gameplay is unique.
I tried to get into it again but I've given up.

My favourite Armored Core game and the first one to make me go lightweight because the movement is SO FUN. Maybe there's only one bad mission, it's the most consistent games in the series and the story is good. Not Last Raven good, but it is good. The NEXT designs are my favourite too.

The game is horrible, so I watched the YT movie. At first I hated it, but soon after finishing it I watched some videos that explained how censorship killed the story. It's not as mature as NieR or Automata but it's still a brave and unique story. The more time passed, the more I thought about it and the more I loved it. It's brilliant.

Excellent gameplay, great OST even if some tracks are repeated a bit too much, love the artstyle, ok story until second half, but the second half is not very good.
Arcanist, Spiritmaster and Time Mage's ability that gives everyone 2 BP per turn is a broken combo and carries you through pretty much every major fight in the game.

The fact that I hate this game is a meme, I don't actually hate it. Ok maybe I do? Nah. It's just that Armored Core: Nexus is a game filled with ok or bad missions, everything sucks (tank legs are good though), the new controls are great but the arena is ass, the game is easy but sometimes frustrating for the wrong reasons (the bridge mission was conceived by a sadist). There's much to say on this game, the ending is one of the best in the series and the second disc starts great and finishes in a good way but the middle PP missions with the flying flowers could have stayed in that game and no one would have missed them.
