The Armored Core Series

Success earns you funds for mech maintenance and upgrades; failure means game over. The series features deep customization, allowing you to fine-tune your mech for optimal performance.
Since its inception, the Armored Core series has seen 5 main entries and numerous spin-offs, totaling 16 games. Armored Core 1 and 2 share a continuity, while 3, 4, and 5 each exist in separate timelines. Armored Core 6 will likely establish a new continuity.
