A player in Armored Core 6 utilized the customization mechanics of the game to create an impressive mech inspired by Blastoise from Pokémon, showcasing the game's great customization options.
The recreation of Blastoise in Armored Core 6 is a surprising and cool homage to Pokémon, featuring an accurate color palette and intricately designed cannons on the back of the mech, showcasing the creative possibilities of the game's customization features.
A creative player of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon utilized the game to pay homage to Pokémon by creating an incredible mech inspired by Blastoise. It goes without saying that mech-building in the Armored Core games is one of the franchise's key features, and this particular player used the fantastic customization mechanics in Armored Core 6 to bring Blastoise to life in the game.
For many gamers, FromSoftware is known as the studio that created the Soulslike genre with Demon's Souls, which has since inspired countless fantasy RPGs. The Soulslike genre has become FromSoftware's trademark, but the Armored Core games are something entirely different from the studio. Although Armored Core 6 shares some similarities with Soulslike titles, this mech-heavy action game provides a welcome change for many gamers.
An Armored Core 6 player known as Rappull on Reddit utilized the game's mech customization options to recreate Blastoise from Pokémon. Thanks to the detailed customization capabilities in Armored Core 6, Rappull was able to create such an accurate replica that many other Pokémon fans will immediately recognize the water-based Pokémon with cannons.
Not only did Rappull perfectly capture the color palette of Blastoise, but he also managed to add eyes to the head of the mech that make it look even more like the iconic Pokémon. What makes Blastoise most recognizable are clearly the cannons on its back, which makes Blastoise a clear choice to replicate in Armored Core 6. Pokémon fans can be extremely creative when it comes to paying tribute to the franchise, but seeing Blastoise in Armored Core 6 is an unexpected and cool surprise.
Armored Core 6 has only been available for a month, but there have already been many surprising mech builds, such as a hilarious Johnny Bravo mech. Although the Souls-like genre is incredibly enjoyable, an action game that focuses on mech construction and offers extensive customization options is an exciting change for many fans of the studio.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
