Unleash Kirby's Power as You Pilot the Ultimate Armored Core 6 Mech

Highlights

Fans are impressed with Armored Core 6's customization options, allowing them to experiment with different strategies and aesthetics for their mechas.

One player displayed their imaginative design by incorporating elements from Nintendo's Kirby into their mecha, featuring a decal of Kirby's face adorning its chest.

A few fans humorously speculated that Armored Core 6 could be seen as a follow-up to Kirby: Planet Robobot, while others expressed their keenness to acquire the code necessary to recreate the Kirby-inspired design on their own mechas.

Players of FromSoftware's recently released Armored Core 6 are already demonstrating their ingenuity in constructing their mechs, with one individual creating a design inspired by Nintendo's iconic pink hero, Kirby. This latest installment in the franchise marks a significant return after a hiatus of more than a decade, and the response from both fans and critics towards Armored Core 6 has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite deviating from the studio's renowned Soulslike titles of recent years, the newest addition to the Armored Core series exhibits the developers' intent to revitalize the franchise on a grand scale.

One aspect that has garnered praise from both fans and critics is the game's extensive customization options. Although Armored Core 6 diverges from the Soulslike genre, it encapsulates the essence of the Souls games by empowering players to experiment with a multitude of choices. If a particular build proves ineffective, the game provides players the opportunity to reset and explore alternative strategies or loadouts. Additionally, players have enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to personalize the appearance of their mechs, as exemplified by a player who designed one based on Kirby's distinctive aesthetic.

Japanese Twitter user oyaji93 shared a picture of their mecha design, featuring pink and red colors. The screenshot revealed a decal of Kirby's face on the mech's chest. This customization is made possible through Armored Core 6's decal system, which allows players to personalize their robots with their own designs. The decals can be shared using a unique Share ID, and PC players have the option to upload their own images.

According to the translated caption of the tweet, this design humorously depicts what would happen if Kirby inhaled one of the Armored Cores. Many users found this amusing. Some fans were also reminded of Kirby's previous adventure in the 3DS game Kirby: Planet Robobot, where he controlled a mech suit and battled a new robotic alien threat. This suit enhanced Kirby's copy abilities, enabling him to unleash more powerful attacks.

Fans jokingly speculated that Armored Core 6 could serve as a continuation of Kirby: Planet Robobot, given the similarities in potential threats to Planet Popstar. Additionally, some players expressed interest in obtaining oyaji93's code, as they wished to personalize their Armored Cores by incorporating Kirby's iconic visage. This serves as a testament to the fans' ability to enhance their robots and bestow them with a distinctive appearance.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon can now be enjoyed on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
