This one is my personal favorite Armored Cores. If it ever gets on here, for the love of gawd, make online play available! Climbing the ranks to number 1 is really fun as well in the arena. I never got why they ever got rid of the arena in any of the Armored Core games after the PS2 version (I am aware that the ones on the PSX have one as well, but you could not just battle against the ranking members in said arena in the first one like you can in others). I completely get that the controls are not so great, but somehow, I just adapted then mastered them. Give me a reason to get back in the arena GOG!!!

One of the harder Armored Cores, esp. in the second half of the game. Also, definitely the most influential of the Armored Cores on 6 with the Satellite looking eerily similar to the PCA Satellite in 6, not to mention the final boss sharing a similar look and name to the Chapter 4 end boss in 6.

This at the top of my top 5 Armored Cores. I started the game with a fresh save, and I still remember when that one AC ambushes you from around a corner when you're trying to leave the area. I believe it was deployed by the IBIS to stop you, and it proceeded to do so. I did overcome it, and this particular part has stuck with me and made me a better pilot in the end. The Armored Core series is full of these kinds of moments and is part of what makes them all so special.

Touhou Fuujinroku: Mountain of FaithMountain of Faith features two playable characters, each with three weapon types, but no personalized spell card bombs. Collecting power items results in an increase in "option" satellites around the character (for a total of four), which behave differently according to the character and weapon type. Each characters' options also fire bullets, and either shift position or freeze in place in focus-fire mode. The scoring system is based on the Faith meter, which has a refillable gauge and a numeric value (minimum 50,000). As long as the gauge is not empty, the player's Faith value doesn't decrease, but the gauge slowly depletes unless the player is defeating enemies or collecting point items. Point items also partially refill the gauge, and Faith items increase the Faith value. The Faith value directly affects the point value of point items and spell card bonuses.
