Armored Core V will rely more on tactics and using the
geography of the level rather than high-speed finger work. This harks
back more to the original PS1 games, especially the first, as many
levels were set within city type environments and were more tactical as a
consequence. A notable difference will be smaller mechs (5 meter tall,
as opposed to the 10 meter mech from the previous releases), which will
allow more varied, "three dimensional" stages. Reports from the
developer suggest a greater emphasis on stealth as a result of the size
change, which allows the mech to maneuver between alleyways and
buildings for cover.
From Software also added an Ultimate weapon that can
deal an enormous amount of damage towards Player's opponents in one or
more hit, however, it takes time to charge when activated, limiting the
Player with only one use per mission, or match and consumes AC armor
points in the process as an disadvantage (some ultimate weapons provide 2
uses)
The online mode will feature five-on-five team-based battles, with each
side battling over specific objectives on a persistent world map.
Additionally, one member of the team will be designated as a commander
(called an "Operator"), whose job it will be to oversee the larger
battle and issue orders to the other team members. A special interface
is being designed by the developers to facilitate this.

Introduction of the game begins with the Player's AC pilot a silent
protagonist ordered by his commander named Fran to escape the city under
siege by the corporation's army. A tutorial was given to show the basic
controls on how to pilot the AC as the player escapes the city. The
player manages to escapes the city by reaching the extraction point that
Fran ordered earlier was later rescued, and carried away by Rosary and
her cargo helicopter as they evade the conflict. However, during their
escape they were interrupted by an unidentified AC who shot down
Rosary's Cargo helicopter forcing the Player to engage in a battle with
the unidentified AC. Whether the player manages to finish the mission,
the player's AC is however destroyed in battle ending the scene with
either Fran or Rosary in her cargo helicopter carrying the player's AC
to somewhere safe.

(The confusing storyline show some hints that Fran is inside Rosary's
Cargo helicopter while Rosary is piloting the cargo helicopter)
The game sets in a Future Post Apocalypse war, where as the resistance
engage in an all out war against the so-called "FATHER" and his
Corporation. Gameplay and story is featured differently from all the

Narrator telling the history that depicts Armored core 5's events and
how the Player's pilot and his group approach the situation. The story

these missions are required to be completed in ordered to continue the
