This one was good but could've been much better. If you want a more casual Armored Core experience it is pretty good. It has a few strong points: - Customisation is pretty good. - The combat is very good (tracking could be a bit better) but it allows for quite the multitude of playstyles. - There is even a bit of pilot leveling. - The idea of the stables, the anime tropes per stable and some of the fundamental ideas were good. - I did enjoy some of the characters. And some of the groups grew on me (Savior, Empress,...) - A LOT of fights against other arsenals (this game's gears/mecha/mobile suits/wanzers) - A few character twists and the likes I enjoyed. Downsides: - Some characters that really annoyed me like Johnny G. - The main story line has 2 endings. Only did one. but it is literally just a choice at the end. - The mission variety is limited. - The story has a lot of good ideas but falls short in that a lot of character development is condensed, skipped with the arcs kinda bouncing around. - The fact there are so many interesting stables becomes painful once you realize you can't join any. - They keep calling you Rookie. Forever. - You can make no decisions, the game makes it for you. Which sucks. - A friendship and a romance mechanic + joining a stable would really have added replay value. Especially if they had a few routes + endings. - Some plot points or satisfying things are not shown. (some interactions at the end within stables would've been awesome) - The ending was 'meh'. Rushed and bland. Worth picking up but only expect a 'good' game. No more, no less. Story actually picks up suddenly after a lull. Push through if you're bored. Things get more interesting later.

Daemon x Machina, is cool, its like the most anime game I've ever played. Ill be honest, I have skipped all of the story dialog because I just...didn't care, didn't feel a reason to care either. Its a fun game, but I'd probably wait for a sale putting it $30 or lower. Btw if you think this looks like armored core but anime its because it kinda is, and many of the devs who worked of DxM worked on OG armored core.

If you enjoy mecha games, then this one is definitely a good choice - though if you are looking for something particularly gritty, you would be better off going with Armored Core, as while Daemon x Machina doesn't stray far from the usual existential anime feel, the art style and story could have certainly used more time to cook if they were really trying to go for something foreboding. As other reviews have mentioned, there's a lot of (sometimes quite unnecessary) dialogue - and unlike games like Armored Core or Ace Combat that have similar mission formats, this dialogue is not short nor sweet enough to be properly condensed into each mission's runtime, leading to cutscenes, random breaks in the combat, or periods where you outright can't damage the enemy because the dialogue hasn't caught up to a specific scripted point. This can be irritating, but in general it doesn't actually do a whole lot to risk your score or completion time, so there isn't any real harm done besides forcing you to listen to a bunch of generic anime chatter. I wouldn't consider this a reason NOT to get the game, since the gameplay itself more than makes up for it. When it comes to gameplay, the difficulty is determined by your build, first and foremost. I beat every mission on my first try, but that's because I was running a build that focused on evasion, healing, and whittling down the enemy from outside of their range. Overall, DxM has a high amount of variety, though it pales in comparison to Armored Core because most of this title's equipment options are simply upgrades of previous pieces of gear, and there are few unique weapons that actually have special attributes applied to them. Additionally, in Armored Core the shop system is significantly more useful, but in DxM you're effectively forced to spend time and credits developing any gear you want, unless you're lucky enough to loot it off of the battlefield. This makes obtaining specific components quite difficult for someone who wants to have a variety of specialized builds. DxM brings infantry action to a couple of the missions - and a whole tech tree for upgrading your own character as a cyborg. However, these are so few and far between that it's generally pointless to focus on these mechanics with your already limited resources. Soundtrack is a banger. 10/10 with no complaints in this regard - aside from the fact that it's better off being listened to outside of the game itself because there's no way to drown out all the sound effects and dialogue otherwise being layered on top of it. In conclusion; get the game when it's on sale if you can. It's great by Nintendo Switch standards - but it just didn't have enough time in the oven to compare to the true titans of Mecha.

Yes, it's "Anime Armored Core", but temper your expectations. Here's the scoop on this game... The Story: The story is nonsensical... and annoying intrusive at times ; it's a B-level anime plot that feels like it's missing about half the contextual information needed to glue it all together. Despite being the biggest portion of the game available (for reasons described later), it's probably the weakest part of the whole game. There are several moments in the game where it straight-up stops combat to open up a dialogue screen for the sake of plot advancement. Yes, it's as annoying as it sounds. That said, it's not hard to skip. "Press and hold ESC or START to skip" your way to a more enjoyable gaming experience. And hey, if you don't mind cheesy and ludicrously thin plot lines, bon appƩtit! Re-playable Content! Except Not Really... Once you finish the campaign, there's little reason to replay it. Except to grab the odd weapon or two you might have missed. Once you've done the campaign, as a solo player, you've seen pretty much all of what the game has to offer... unless, that is, you don't mind doing content designed for co-op by yourself. Speaking of which... Bring a Friend, Lest Ye Be Lonely The multiplayer lobbies - all of them- are empty. Bring a friend if you want to enjoy the multiplayer. The content that is there is designed for more than one person to tackle, so you either need to get pretty good at the game and its intricacies and solo the bosses, or you're gonna need to phone a friend and convince them to buy this game, finish the campaign (not necessary, but highly recommended), and join you. A Small(ish) Selection of Parts For a game about battling with customizable big-and-scary looking mecha, there's not as much customization in the parts category as I would have hoped. It's not egregiously lacking, but when comparing it to its next door neighbor, the Armored Core series, it comes up lacking. So why do I recommend the game? The moment-to-moment gameplay is fun. When it's not being interrupted by thin plot line segments, that is. It's not the prettiest, it's not the most technical, and it's certainly not the most cohesive experience I've had with these kinds of games before, but when I'm in the field shooting entire armies' worth of munitions at giant "screw-you" cannons, mobile battle suits, and colossal transforming creatures, I'm having a blast while doing it, and to me, that's what matters most.
