    I have this through epic freebies. I have to say I really didn’t enjoy my 2 hours with it, but maybe I just don’t know enough about the genre to appreciate it. It seemed like you were dropped into random ass maps and you just shoot things until you win. Not challenging.

      I played the game a good amount on my switch

      Between a couple of the antagonists, a twist (idr how to do spoiler tags), and some little bits and pieces you could tell they had plans but characters and ideas don’t feel flushed out

      IRRC Solomon who as the game puts it a ghost that eats other mechs appears 3 times, a cutscene, a fight, then implied to save a character off screen

      I want to like the game, it’s decent just eh

        We live in a post-ACVI world. Probably I was just expecting too much from what is obviously a much lower budget offering.

          I’ve never played armored core (assuming that’s what your talking about) and it’s a decent game

          Actually kinda feels like your piloting (kind of) a mech with different head pieces having lockon shapes

          I remember one being super wide filling the entire sides of the screen but not very tall

          I’m running on 3 brain cells rn

    It’s a very fun game with tight gameplay (on mouse keyboard at least) the history is meh and it could use some more variety in weapons/loadout choice but it still a very solid mecha game.

    It’s okay. Fun enough for a bit but there “best” weapons and mech parts so it starts becoming a grind looking for them.

    Can set up your mech with different weapons but some types are vastly superior to others.

    Fluid and fast combat, and you can borg up your pilot.
