The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A lean, focused mech-dueling experience where you steadily climb a ranked ladder through careful part-tuning and precise combat, with little story standing between you and the next fight.

About
Armored Core: Master of Arena is a standalone sequel released for the PlayStation in 1999. It centres on a large, structured Arena mode where players progress by defeating ranked pilots. The game expands mech customisation, offering more parts and finer performance tuning. Story content is minimal and delivered mainly through short mission briefings and arena context. Its emphasis on competitive progression solidified the Arena as a core feature of the Armored Core series.
