From the hands of Hitbreak comes Code RAPID, this new indie game has the quality of a real Armored Core game that should have dropped in the Playstation 3 era. A new trailer has dropped and yet again, PC players will have the benefit of being able to play this exclusive. So far, the ideas exposed in the trailer seem to basically replicate those that were in older Armored Core games, and it truly looks like a love letter to the franchise. There’s still no proper release date for it, but more information will be covered next at Infinite Start.
Code RAPID is the Armored Core we need
Its amazing to see indie developers trying to craft experiences that replicate the best games in the industry, and it seems that Hitbreak is cooking some impressive release so far. While there’s no release date yet, be sure to do what the trailer says and wishlist this breathtaking title. The movement, the aesthetic and all the elements fit what would be a real Armored Core game, and it just releases right around the same amount of time that the expansions of the original Armored Core started dropping, with around 1 year of difference.
Triple A developers do take time nowadays to make games, but they don’t feel as impressive as Code RAPID, and despite From Software having done an amazing work with Armored Core 6 we kinda need to revitalize the series more. Indie developers are keen on trying to fill the release gaps with titles that fans would love to see, and its always good to have more as long as it meets the proper standards of quality. While there’s no many details so far, expect the usual Armored Core gameplay with some curve balls here and there, indie games always have a surprise hidden in them.
