The expansion to Armored Core 2 runs on the same game engine as its predecessor but features a number of changes in the way it is played. There is
no trial mission in Another Age to kick the game off, the player is simply thrown into the world with his AC, and his first job offer is right there waiting for him. The Arena, which played a significant role in Armored Core 2, has been scaled down a bit, but a fair number of the game's missions involve one-on-one combats with other Ravens in a set-up unlike Armored Core 2's Arena.
Another Age has no express plot; it is more a portrait of the life of a mercenary, always bouncing around from place to place and not getting tied down to any particular cause. Occasionally recurring elements pop up from time to time as the game progresses, but there is no defined storyline. Instead, there are over 100 separate missions that make up the mass of the game, the largest Armored Core title to date, and each mission plays out in a specific area of the world map screen that would reappear in following AC titles down the road. Another Age is also noted for its cameo appearances. Past enemies from previous Armored Core games Stinger and Nineball appear as bosses in several special missions that are unlocked once you clear all 100 of the game's missions.
