DAEMON X MACHINA

The whole plot of this mess feels like a feverish dream of a writer facing a deadline and to survive their crisis hooked into a free AI because the powers above were too cheapskate for an enterprise subscription, or otherwise this makes me question if trees regret becoming the vessel that enabled this storyboard and script to see daylight in some desolate office. Most mercs in the cast outside of maybe Brigadier General and Guns Empress are either mentally stunted, unlikeable, or spin on their heels in some demented "kill or dont kill; loves me or hates me" game with flower petals and all the intra-faction antics of said mercs come across as "why should I, witness of this torture, care for any of this or you mercs?" as the player character has no agency, part, or even opinion on any of the events. And the player character could be replaced with a toaster and same goes for the consortiums in the devasted region this comedy takes place in and so the three quarters of this journey come off as "cast must act as mentally challenged, sedated, and drooling as long as the plot demands it" which is until the last stretch of the storyline where it's revealed the demand is actually Lady Plot on their knees, crying and begging for a coup de grâce. Which is alas quite bit too late and then to drive the stake through the player, plot forces you to repeat same sponge mission three times to play out the most unhinged and uninspired drama between the mercenaries that has had no build up and afterwards player's stand-in coat hanger rushes the final boss, Walmart Albert Wesker, with teary eyes who then goes for a checkmate on the hapless trauma victim's SAN points by saying he has already won and he is right because I can't wake up from this nightmare or unwitness this story. And to not spoil things too badly for what happens after the final boss dies my take on it could be summarized to something like if there was a reverse standing ovation I could do in view of the director/writer without getting jailed for public obscenity I would do so but as that isn't an option and it was 04:00 while witnessing the title drop I just felt my eyes glaze over and rolled off my chair to admire the debris under my desk, and wish the duo a retrograde discharge. At least the game's soundtrack is absolute banger as expected from these composers and that'll be something I will be enjoying now and then outside of the game, if only to ward off being haunted by the memories inflicted upon me as I went into this game blindly and only knew from offhand comments that Johny G is insufferable, oh if only he had been the worst or sole clown in this circus. All this above, the menu UX, and occasional sponge enemies because artificial difficulty was needed really sours the half-decent mech/kit building set into a simple gameplay loop and for me to try Titanic Scion Marvelous would have to figuratively go back in time to pay for my dead grandma's hip replacement surgery after she landed badly in a stairwell, a game which I'll be promptly removing from Steam wishlist. I dont ask a lot from anime/jrpg games in terms of cast or the plots they find themselves in but Damn with a capital D this one was clearly fighting for the crown held by Tales of -series for their exclusive deal on stupid.

After playing Armored Core 6 this game feels like roblox version of it. Gameplay feels so dull... Story and characters are childish and cringe, in non-guiltypleasure way - it's just unenjoyable.

[h1]やりたかったことは伝わるが、それが形になっていないゲーム[/h1] [h3]このゲームの良い点[/h3] ・3次元機動でバッシュンバッシュンブーストを吹かせる 動かしてて楽しい。ナチュラルにキーボード＋マウス操作がしやすいのも◯。 ・声優が豪華 某有名ロボットアニメに出てる人や有名どころの人ばっかり。 [h3]このゲームの悪い点[/h3] [b]・シナリオが意味不明[/b] 大方AC2みたいなシナリオを描きたかったんでしょうが、ゲーム内専門用語が 説明も無くバンバン連発され、各キャラクターがミッション毎にそれっぽいことを言っては どっかに行くのでプレイヤー置いてけぼり。結局こいつなんだったの？だらけ Daemonって何なんでしょうか？クリアした今も僕は分かりません。 [b]・戦闘がつまらない[/b] [u]ボスがとにかく硬いのに弱い！[/u] 3次元機動でガンガン動けるのに適当に弾を撒いてくるか必中のビームみたいなのを放ってくるかで 雨あられのようなミサイルを引き付けて回避するとかそういうのが無い。 ドッグファイトがしたいのに敵がしてくれないので最終的には 必中のビームはバリアでやり過ごして 燃焼ミサイルを当ててブーストを吹かせなくしてマシンガンを接射する作業に行き着く。 このマシンガン接射作業はストーリーの大半で有効なのも良くない。 [b]・各パーツの個性が乏しい[/b] 単純に下位互換みたいなパーツが割とあるのでわざわざそれを選ぶ理由が無い。 これはゲーム上、仕方のないことなのだが足パーツが2脚オンリーでパーツ毎に 挙動が変わったりしないので数値で選びがちになってしまう。 戦闘がつまらないのでクリア後の周回要素を遊ぶ気になれませんでした。 セールで買ったのでまだ良いですが、フルプライスではちょっと…という感じです。 改善すれば面白くなる部分はあるので次回作に期待ですかね。

This is so much better than Nintendo Switch

You may have heard some of the dev team of this game came from FromSoftware and were involved in AC4/FA. Do not expect an AC-like game in DxM. It feels very unpolished in comparison and not much of a step up in terms of gameplay from indie AC-clones. Customization is somewhat lacking when compared to AC. Furthermore the controls and overall movement are not that comfortable and you can only select from a limited list of presets for the inputs rather than being able to map them to any button you choose which is a major failure in this genre considering even the first AC game released on the PS1 let you do this. Overall the feel of piloting the mechs feels weightless and unfulfilling.

Do these guys ever shut up?

oh boy what a boring game! Too much talkjng, just shut the hell up already! and the last boss, ♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!

Por no alargarme: Aunque cuenta con todos los checks de un juego de mechas (personalizacion y demás) el gameplay se hace tremendamente aburrido. Manejo, control, disparar o el uso de las armas en general... También pasas la mayor parte del tiempo en el aire, volando. Puede sonar bien, pero al final queda un gameplay bastante simple y aburrido, limitandote a desplazarte e ir disparando hacia los enemigos de forma medio automática. Se hace muy monótono y casi rutinario, como trabajar en una cadena de montaje clavando clavos. Con todo no es absolutamente terrible e igual puede servir para matar el gusanillo si estás muy aburrido y lo encuentras de oferta por menos de, no sé, 10 euros. Pero vaya, que mejor buscar otro juego.
