Random tip from a mech game player, dodging missiles tends to be easier if you dip in towards the enemy. So, basically, once the missiles start to maneuver, if you dodge forward inside their turn arc, they will have a lot more trouble catching you. Generally, in AC, missiles have a max turn rate that you can exploit.

Quick tip: even tho most missions feel like you aren't there to explore, you can find a bunch of interesting things if you do. In earlier games there have been some secret parts hidden in stages and i'm confident you'll be suprised in AC6 what you can find off the beaten path. Also: Experiment with your build! All parts can be sold back for full price so you can test out everything to your hearts content!

​​​@@pixelboss4980e reason they do that is that most mechs try to stay grounded when it comes to movement, they glide/slide exactly because of their weight and size, running would put a ton of pressure on the joints and you need the legs for a lot more than just running. Even the mobile Suits from gundam, if you need more speed your only choice is the boosters otherwise your running speed is kinda slow. I think of the few mechs series that have tremendous physical power are Zoids, most Zoids can achieve the boost speed of an AC on leg power alone and the boosters are there for extra speed.

The issue to me is that Souls-Like has become a buzzword in some circles. I hate buzzwords due to the fact that they add no real meaning and actually cheapen what brought them about in the first place. AC6 has taken clear inspirations from some mechanics from From Software's better known games, but it does so in its own way, but it is NOT a Souls-Like. It's a mech game that has taken some influences from the Souls genre, and does those influences well from what I saw in this video, but does so in a way that fits the genre.

@@jgkitarel sure okay. But like the term roguelike and soulslike, they refer to a specific set of attributes that are all mostly similar between titles.

I'm just saying that games like AC6:FOR which clearly are taking some light elements from the souls games, a handy tag to find more games of that type could be soulslite.

Honestly, I've been wanting a mech game with more customization for a while. It really feels like so many only give you one or two small options, or a few presets, so it feels like a missed opportunity. This game was only slightly on my radar, since while I like From's games, they're not all for my preferences, but actually seeing some in depth coverage of the mechanics and gameplay makes me a lot more interested.

I remember in some of the arena battles I cheesed them by going for a heavy build with a ton of missiles. Then I would fly to the very top of the building and wait for the lock-on before firing them. The AI would have never flown up to the building and therefore I had the high ground. Not sure if you might know. I don't know what mech game it was, probably was another AC game. Although, I don't think it was. It had more of a focus on arena gameplay, because I don't remember an actual story mode attached to it. The story was more focused on the arena and you were trying to climb the ranks. It had stull like emails from the NPCs and such. Pretty sure it dated back to the PS2 era.
