Using these platforms, they run the planet below using a high-tech army to dominate and control.
Hearing of this, a group of surface dwellers form the rebel group called "The Line Ark" attack the "The League" in an attempt to bring order out of chaos.
In this another mysterious faction called the "ORCA" has surfaced, their motives unknown to both sides.
The player assumes the role of a mercenary for hire, picking which side they would like to work for.
They are then given a mech and equipped with the most advanced weaponry and must complete missions in an attempt to win battles and ultimately win the war for their side.

Players must also battle huge mech bosses in order to advance to other levels and can also customize their mech in a various amount of ways, ranging from color, weapons, etc.
The viewpoint is from behind the player, using the analog stick to move the camera and view the surrounding area.
There is also multiplayer capabilities including co-op that a friend can join in and help them out at any time during a game.
Players can also go online, using their respective service, to battle friends in deathmatches.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Armored Core: For Answer [The Best] for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Armored Core: For Answer [The Best] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2008.
