Overview
Another Century's Episode R is the fourth game in the
Another Century's Episode series, a series that, in essence, is an action-oriented take on
Super Robot Wars. It is developed by From Software, best known for the
Armored Core series. However, while Armored Core features a slower-paced, "heavier" take on robot combat, ACE R is a lighter, faster game that places emphasis on aerial fights.
Unlike
Super Robot Wars, which often scales the robots to approximately the same height, ACE is faithful to each robot's official stats. This means that Aquarion towers over the Gundams, which in turn are much larger than the other robots such as the Nightmare Frames, Arm Slaves, and Overmen.
The developers have admitted that ACE R will sport a smaller roster than previous games due to the transition to the PS3 hardware. Despite this, there are still more than three dozen playable mecha.
ACE:R's theme song is
