A Mercenary's Dilemma - Armored Core 6 - Video Game Book Club Feb. 2026

Video Game Book Club is back with another game of the month episode! Thank you to our community and listeners for playing AC6 alongside us and sending us questions and discussion prompts! In this episode Ben and JP discuss the ins and outs of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. This game exceeded our expectations tenfold and we felt so good gliding around in our mechs and delivering rubiconian handshakes to all those who opposed us. Ben performed some impressions of our most beloved characters in the game while JP finally spoke about who he would FMK between Carla, Walter and Ayre. Join the club using the discord link below to stay up to date with Buenale Games and to play and discuss the game of the month alongside us every month, and join us again in a month when we discuss the March 2026 game of the month, chosen by our own JP: Cairn.
