** Unlike previous RPG adaptations of the comic, when Gallacci did new art for the games along with art from the comics itself, with the sole exception of the last expasion module for the ''Platinum Catalyst'' reboot, all the Gallacci art in the game and in the manuals is recycled from the comics, with the new art being limited to photos from the miniatures and the scenarios, very likely because he had done very few ''Albedo'' related art since 2005. This is finally averted at December 2018, when Gallacci started to include line art for the game.

* FictionalDocument: The manual of the game is also an in-universe propaganda piece from the EDF with the intent to both identify and describe the ILR for both the players and the soldiers in-story and also to demonize the ILR.

The game is notorious for two reasons: Besides following the same premise of the comic and the previous tabletop RPG games, ACP164 changes the formula a bit by including miniatures, making the gameplay more visual than the other games. Also, the game is notorious for another big reason, story-wise: This is the first official product from the franchise that depicts the First Lepine War, the very first war Kanoc Felna, Erma Felna's father, fought in his younger days along with Joseph Arrat. Keep in mind that war was previously a NoodleIncident in the backstory of the comic, and it was rarely described outside some mentions out there and also in some side-stories.
