An Armored Core spin-off that appeared during PSP's early years, where the player is an architect before a pilot: you assemble the mech piece by piece, program its combat behavior, and watch it measure up in an arena league. The portable version also lets you take direct control.
This is FromSoftware in its most cerebral, least-known vein, a competitive-engineering game that anticipated the appeal of watching your own strategies play out on their own. An absolute rarity within the series.
