Description
Released in 2002, Armored Core 3 reboots the series timeline in an underground post-apocalyptic setting. With refined controls, smarter customization menus and a cleaner mission flow, it makes for an excellent entry point into FromSoftware's classic formula.
The Korean version of Armored Core 3, the entry that started afresh and cemented the marriage of deep customization and mecha combat. Localized for a narrow PS2 market, this edition stays markedly less common than its Japanese and Western equivalents. Its interest owes to this regional scarcity in service of an episode regarded as a solid entry point into the series' PS2 era.
