View attachment 83908I think Battlefield Record UC 0081 is extremely underrated. It's about the closest thing you can get to an official Gundam Armored Core game. You can't customize the appearance of the mobile suits sadly, but there are lots of parts that change the stats of your mobile suit. It's a ton of fun to build into boost and speed and just zoom around the map.
It's a shame there hasn't been another game following this formula. Battle Operation Code Fairy is the closest we've got, but Battle Operations stiff movement and cool downs make the game feel way too clunky in comparison.
It's unfortunate it doesn't emulate well. It's definitely not a perfect game by any means. The AI partners are basically useless and the free mission mode can be a bit grindy, but it's still a ton of fun. Especially the online mode which is still functional thanks to peer-to-peer matchmaking.
It's pretty easy to pick up and play since most menus and important stats are in English so the only thing you'll be missing out on is the story, but if you want that there's a manga adaptation which has been translated and the scenario was included in G Generation Genesis which has an Asian-English release.
