Armored Core 4

Due to the growth of the population, food and energy became scarce and widened the gap between the rich and the poor.

Anarchy ensued and the government lost control of the situation.

People turned to the corporations to provide for safety.

Six corporations struggled for power and launched a full scale war, known as the Nation Dismantlement War.

A new order was established and Pax Economica was introduced, a system where loyalty guaranteed food and safety.

Five years after the establishment of the Pax Economica, the player takes the role of a member of the Ravens, a rebel group who wants to challenge the modern slavery by force.

The player controls a giant Mech, part of a squad, which can be assembled with the available parts, and customized with weapons, paint and aesthetic options.

On different locations all over the world, the player fights Mechs from the corporations in 30 missions grouped together in chapters.

At the end of each level, new parts become available and the Mech can be repaired with the wages.

Multiplayer is supported over the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Armored Core 4 for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €69.20 loose, €35.16 complete in box, and €45.50 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Armored Core 4 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Armored Core 4, loose is €69.20 and CIB is €35.16 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Armored Core 4 is currently worth €69.20 loose, versus €57.01 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
