Armored Core - Nine Breaker [NTSC-J] [SLPS-25408]
Armored Core: Nine Breaker is a mecha video game in the Armored Core series. In a some-what controversial move, developer From Software remodelled some of the basic elements of the Armored Core formula for Armored Core: Nine Breaker. Removed altogether are the storyline-based missions and instead 'training missions' have been added into the game, intending to develop a player's skill at piloting an AC. The game was divided into two modes, Training Mode and Arena Mode.
Nine Breaker has been the most widely criticized of all the AC games due to its lack of a storyline, its diFinal Fantasyiculty, the repetitiveness of its training and arena missions and its lack of any real accomplishment. It has garnered some of the lowest reviews yet out of all previous AC games, averaging less than 5 out of 10 on most oFinal Fantasyicial gaming magazine and website review scales.
