Metal Ascension

in the first 4 rounds its hard you dont know how to handle this, but its not a challenge when you figured out how it works. i dont need a single upgrade from the mainmenu to beat the 20 levels.... and got in 96 min 9 from 12 achievements. - you cant sell your "orbitals" dont know why - no meta progression - i see no reason to play again after run complete without any upgrade from mainmenu

The game has some interesting mechanics as a VS like with access to stores in between waves, and the ability to swap mech parts. Animations are ok, and sound effects are satisfying. However, the game seriously lacks contents with only one map and same enemy waves. There is no difficulty selection as well, so the meta progression simply makes the game easier, and the game is beatable without any upgrades. With this price, I cannot recommend this game.

I've played for a few hours at this point. The game has potential to be a good survival game as its still early in the release. The Good: 1. Looks like the developer has put some thought into making a more futuristic survival bullet hell type game. 2. The developer has already been listening to players and adjusted the difficulty of the first few levels of the game to make it more friendly. 3. You can get pretty powerful fast with the right combinations of weapons. The Meh: 1. Early progression is really tough on new people who are not familiar with what to expect. 2. The blue credits to upgrade your character from the start drop rarely in the earlier levels. I probably had about 30-45 mins before I saw my first one, and it takes 5 to upgrade. 3. The levels seem to short and currently there is only 20 levels in the game (not sure if more are coming any time soon or not) The bad: 1. I was able to complete all 20 levels already with my character, after that it gives a victory screen with stats. Then you must restart the game. Spend your blue credits and repeat. 2. Feels like you can have early burnout, especially if you can beat it constantly. As of now I would recommend it to pick up. (yeah it cost a few dollars) but worth the entertainment in my book. I like supporting new developers. I will update if my opinion changes in the future.

its not fun already completed nearly full Achivement for 7+ euro aint worth

ステージ1つしかないし、ボスもなし、パーツで見た目変わるけど、キャラ自体小さいから分かりにくい、ほかの似たような作品にくらべやることがすくなすぎ、値段と合わない

Bad design. First half an hour it's not fun because you can't understand it and can't progress at all. Then you suddenly realize how simplie it is. And it's not fun then for half an hour because it's easy. Then you get overwhelmed and bored. And it's even less fun. Becase you have a lot of money but nothing to buy and can't progress again. Then you find another ridiculous tactic like rotating your mouse around you as fast as you can and barrage everyone with simple lasers. Then you just get through levels and rolling the shop waiting for gold or red parts to appear. Then you get bored. It could be faster to understand that this game is bad if there would be any info about it mechanics.

Heavy Machine guns and crit chance + damage for those of you who need a crutch.

As you can tell, I had a blast with this one so far. It has some learning curve till you figure out what is worth getting or what weapons work for you. When you are reading this, Endless Mode is active, meaning, after your first play through of the first 20 levels is completed, you can do the Endless Mode and play as long as you want. Now, with Patch 1.3.0, you have unlimited levels for Orbitals, which makes them a bit OP.;)) I've got one up to LVL 60, the enemies just melted as soon as they come on the screen... There are plenty ways to play it, plenty of weapon variety, that you can for free freely combine, so you can fully reset your build after every level. It will take some time to get used to things, and it is possible, that the first 2 hours won't be enough if you are not used to Rogue Lite games. The Demo might still be available, that could give you an idea how the game works, then buy it, and then you get more out of your free 2 hours and can decide to keep or refund. Once you get the hang of it, it can be a lot of fun! Loads of balancing needs to be done so the later levels are fun too and the enemies are not push overs. I recommend it!

Now that I understand the importance of the drone-stacking mechanics and thanks to the new patch the game got much easier to understand I do feel like that the game is getting pretty solid :) I love mech warrior/battletech type of drones and horde survival games as well, and Metal Ascension if a very nice blend of that. Cool upgrades, banger ost and all the good stuff :) Check it out if you like game like that
