About Armored Core for Answer
In the distant future, massive urban
development and pollution have critically damaged the planet. There is
widespread fear that the end of the world is approaching. The League
corporations, a military superpower, control the planet’s infrastructure and
have forced most of the world’s population to live in huge aerial communities,
called Cradles, to avoid the contamination. The ORCA, a rebel resistance still
residing on the surface of the polluted planet, have amassed a formidable
arsenal and are mobilizing to attack The League’s bases to put an end to their
iron grip on the planet. As a mercenary armed with cutting-edge military robot
technology, choose your side and defeat the other factions by harnessing the
power of the deadliest and most gigantic weapons ever created by mankind.
Armored Core for Answer is rated "T” for Teen with Mild Language, Violence.
