![]() ![]() It is crazy how many different types of attack you can do at once and I found there to be a decent variety of low level enemies and tougher bosses and rival mechs for you to fight. ![]() Despite being a massive mech, the gameplay is very fast-paced. At the end of the day, it is a game about giant mechs so what more can you expect. You have a series of missions to do and most of these missions are all about, destroy that or stopping that from being destroyed. In DAEMON X MACHINA most of what you do in the first part of the game is what you will be repeating for the majority of it. I would bet that you will spend as much time playing with your mech as you will taking part in the missions. Something you change may make you quicker at moving, but sluggish in the air! You can have six weapons on you and use four of them at any one time. The loadouts, the abilities, perks, and whatever else you want to call them can all be changed here. I am not just talking about the paint either. I have played a lot of mech games, but none that come to mind allow you to tinker with things like this one does. Screen Rant was provided with a PC code for the purpose of this review.You and other “mercenaries” are hired to fight them and try and save the day, but as you and the others are mercenaries, can you really trust the people you are fighting with? This Is Your Mech!īefore I get to the gameplay of DAEMON X MACHINA, I have to talk about the insane level of customization that this game allows you. Next: Daemon X Machina Review - Robots Fighting Behind A Soap Operaĭaemon X Machina is out now on PC through Steam for $47.99. The story may get in the way of itself sometimes, but when it doesn't Daemon X Machina is a blast. Operatic fights, soaring around a destroyed metropolis sinking in the sand, and getting a victory in the most stylish way possible. In addition, the game now supports competitive (something absent from the Switch launch), perfect for dueling your friends and seeing whose Arsenal is more powerful.Īnd that's really what Daemon X Machina is all about. With Steam's online support, Daemon X Machina will hopefully see a lot more people test out their online cooperative play. Along with the vibrant colors, its one of the main reasons flying around in the post-apocalyptic world in a big robot mech is so delightful. ![]() Going into a battle is always accompanied by a tremendously effective and bombastic rock score. Junichi Nakatsuru and Rio Hamamoto of Bandai Namco contributed to its stylings. Players can switch weapons around mid-battle and upgrade their Arsenal in the Hangar in between missions - so if something doesn't work, they can always try again. Swords certainly look the coolest, but a machine gun on one arm, paired with a shield on the other is probably a more versatile load-out. Mechs, or Arsenals (and the player character operating them) are customizable and can be leveled up and equipped with a huge variety of weaponry. It's a bit more forgiving in its wish-fulfillment. But Daemon X Machina isn't a bullet hell, and it's not the type of game that causes stress from constant "Game Over" screens. For players that can look past the (what feels like) hours of expository dialogue, there's a ton of phenomenal robot-on-robot action.įrom organizing an all-out attack on an Immortal robot - robots that are almost as big as cities - to weaving through wave after wave of tanks and enemy planes, the sheer amount of lasers and robot swords is overwhelming. So while the world itself is filled with action, there's barriers to play: the endlessly talkative characters and a whole lot of story nonsense. All the modes (though not quite all the content) made their way into the port, so between the 10+ hour campaign and various mutliplayer modes, there's plenty of mech mayhem to entertain.Īlong with all the great things from the original, Daemon X Machina on Steam also brings the game's lesser qualities. Controlling one's mech with a keyboard and mouse is simple and customizable for any experience level of a player. The same open battlefields are filled with bright, beautiful colors, so despite the rather dark circumstances of global robot war, exploring is encouraged. Luckily its PC port leaves nothing behind from the Switch version. Related: Daemon X Machina Dropping Switch Exclusivity to Come to Steamĭaemon X Machina certainly deserved better especially from fans of giant mech battles. Both games released the same week, and come from bigger studios and/or more popular franchises. Though the game fared well critically, its sale under-performed, largely due to stiff competition from Link's Awakeningand Astral Chain. But the sky's the limit for developers Marvelous, and a short 5 months after its Switch release, their game may finally be given the spotlight it deserves. ![]()
