Another Century's Episode 3

War-worthy mechs and characters from 17 animation series such as Aura Battler Dunbine and Macross Plus join together in the third and final Another Century's Episode from Banpresto. An original series titled "A.C.E. Original" is also featured in the game with three mechs including the blue XA-00 Exbrau which is featured in the beginning of the game.

Per the previous volumes in the ACE series, players control a mech and contend against other mechs and assorted creatures in 3D battlefields. In the first level of the game, a lad named Barrel Orland is standing atop a roof when aliens attack and are countered by a wave of Earth-based defenders. Barrel's in danger but a blue mech known as the Exbrau piloted by Fei Roshnande descends to pick him up. Once safely in the cockpit of the Exbrau, Barrel and Fei fly off to confront the alien invaders.

The first mission is a training stint to get players acquainted with the controls and the overall feel of the game. The Exbrau can attack with a sword or shoot rounds of gunfire at enemies in the local area. A secondary set of weapons are also available including a tethered battering ram and a bomb shot. Finally, the Exbrau can raise a shield to blunt oncoming mortar. Basically, it's a one man army. «Game-Notes»
