G-Mode releases Armored Core: Mobile 3 on Steam for $11, offering a rare addition to the Armored Core collection on PC. This 2007 Japanese flip-phone game, positioned between Armored Core Nexus and Armored Core Last Raven, comes without English subtitles but includes controller support.
Release and Features
The game remains true to the series format: customizing mechs and engaging in missions that range from urban assaults to wasteland defenses. Despite its nostalgic appeal, the lack of modernization and language support may limit its audience to dedicated fans and retro enthusiasts.
Market Context
This release highlights the series' complex publishing history, involving multiple rights holders, possibly explaining the choice to re-release a mobile port over newer console versions. The game's PC debut remains significant for devoted followers seeking a comprehensive collection.
YouTuber Cleric Armored Core streamed the port, showcasing its gameplay.
