Armored Core: Master of Arena is a 1999 third-person shooter video game developed and published by FromSoftware for the PlayStation. An indirect sequel, Armored Core 2, was released on August 3, 2000, for the PlayStation 2.

The Story Behind Armored Core - Master of Arena

FromSoftware partnered with Agetec and released a North American version on March 22, 2000. As a part of Sony's PSone Classics banner, Master of Arena was re-released in Japan for the PlayStation 3 (and later the PlayStation Vita) on November 28, 2007. After his Nine-Ball mech is damaged, Hustler One retreats.

The attackers are shown to be led by Hustler One, who confronts the player. The gameplay is largely identical to the previous two Armored Core games, but places a larger focus on the Arena feature that was introduced in Project Phantasma. An indirect sequel, Armored Core 2, was released on August 3, 2000, for the PlayStation 2.

How Armored Core - Master of Arena Plays

Players can import their saved characters from either of the earlier Armored Core games to retain their customization and gain an advantage in Master of Arena. Armored Core: Master of Arena is a 1999 third-person shooter video game developed and published by FromSoftware for the PlayStation. The Raven from this game is a survivor of this battle, having lost their entire family to the chaos.

Elan Cubis, an influential figure in a company called Progtech, becomes the player's sponsor in an attempt to investigate the Raven's Nest. The Arena mode introduced in Project Phantasma returns and is now a required gameplay feature in the story rather than an optional addition. It is the final game in the original Armored Core trilogy.

Why Players Still Load It Up

The game's expansion of the Arena concept was well received by reviewers, with GameRevolutions Shawn Sanders commenting that the feature "is now, interestingly enough, nicely integrated into the whole game". The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. The Ranker MK feature was praised by several reviewers.

Criticism of the game was directed at the game's underdeveloped story, aging visuals, difficult control scheme, and a bug that plagued the local multiplayer mode. The lack of an engaging story was commented on by Game Informers Andy McNamara, who said "it just can't keep my interest". AllGames Joe Ottoson praised the Arena fights, writing "the action is more intense when you square off against other AC pilots at your own level".
