"Solid"
The art direction seeks the vertigo of scale. The next-generation mechs streak at insane speeds hugging megastructures, and above all they face flying fortresses kilometers long, artillery towers and metal cities that fill the screen to the point of making the pilot a speck. This crushing relation between the machine and the colossus gives the game its feeling of grandiose insignificance.

Armored Core - For Answer (PS3) price, value & rarity
Is Armored Core - For Answer still worth playing in 2026?
A mecha action game from FromSoftware, Armored Core For Answer pushes the formula of extreme battle robot customisation towards very large scale clashes against colossal flying fortresses, in a devastated future. The depth of the parts system, the exhilarating speed of the aerial battles and the austere science fiction atmosphere win over genre devotees. The steep learning curve and a dated production weigh on it. A title for fans of demanding mech games and deep customisation on PS3.
