Armored Core: Project Phantasma is a 1997 video game for the Sony PlayStation. It is part of the Armored Core series. The storyline follows the original Armored Core. The game was not released in Europe.
Story
A Raven operating out of Isaac City
receives an unusual request. Not only is the request both vague and
cryptic, stating simply: "Infiltrate the underground urban complex,
Amber Crown,", but it also bypasses normal channels of communication and
is sent directly to the Raven in question, without anyone else seeing
the message. No sender name or corporate affiliation is mentioned, but
the monetary reward promised is massive. Because of the amount, the
mission will obviously be intensely dangerous, but Ravens aren't the
type to shy away from any challenge. With interest piqued, the Raven
climbs into the AC and heads toward Amber Crown.
Gameplay
Project Phantasma continued from where Armored Core left off. Players could either start a new game or convert their previous save data from Armored Core.
Converting data allowed a player to carry over a number of parts that
would otherwise be unavailable to a player who starts a new game like
the powerful "Moonlight" laser blade. Project Phantasma was the
first AC game to introduce the concept of an Arena; the player was given
the opportunity to face off against over 50 opponents of varying
difficulty. The Arena was an optional feature, but if a player competed
in the Arena they could earn extra credits and unlock new parts for
their AC.
One notable aspect regarding the parts (particularly weapons) in the
original Armored Core and its two PS1 expansions is that they are by far
the most powerful in the series. For example, the original KARASAWA
fired faster than most AST Rifles and Pulse Rifles in later games. The
FINGER had 3000 ammo, and the Large Missile came in two styles, one that
flew like a regular missile (discontinued after Master of Arena), and
the traditional slow (though roughly twice as fast as later versions
such as those in Last Raven) version. The slow version had ten missiles
as opposed to the current four, and was the longest range missile of the
first generation.
