METALLIC CHILD

Cute and funny

1.我实在想不通作为一个肉鸽游戏随机BUFF居然是限时的，BOSS打到一半BUFF没了。越打越难受。而永久BUFF的增益非常少。 2.并且回血手段更是少的出奇，有时候打了一整局都没碰到过一个回血的buff。 3.局外成长很低，没有提升攻击、战后回血等手段。整个游戏过程显得很累。 4.而且机关很烦人。我不明白为什么要加入机关。就算是作为背景故事里的太空船也不应该到处是火焰激光吧。 5.还有就是弹反做的太弱了。收益非常非常低。哪怕加上弹反buff也没有翻滚好用。弹反只能在周围对敌人造成一定的伤害，大概是50%武器攻击。然后没了。没有削韧没有冲击波没有伤害加成。只能站在原地挨打。而且部分攻击弹反是没用的。一旦失误就是硬吃伤害。 6.然后、这游戏技能翻滚防御都需要消耗能量，能量只能通过普通攻击或BUFF给。不会随时间回复。 7.做了跳跃攻击的动作模组，但是伤害很低。大多数的特殊攻击动作伤害都不高，不如平砍。比如翻滚后攻击、跳跃攻击。甚至有些技能算上前后摇秒伤也没平砍高。 8.商店很少见。而且商店里卖的东西除了武器就是回血药，不会给buff。 9.局外货币获取困难。一局大概是一百多一点。但是随便升一个技能就需要两百。一局游戏时间在十几分钟以上。很肝。 10.虽然是肉鸽游戏，但是几乎没有BD。所有的buff几乎都是提升数值的，比如某个武器伤害提升之类的。没有见到过成体系的BD。没有有趣的buff。 11.武器只有三种。我目前只碰到过三种。剑盾、双手锤、臂铠。种类很少。虽然武器做了各种技能。但是由于翻滚会消耗能量，所以一般不是很常用技能。剩下的就只有攻击力的差别了。

Looks great but it's bugged and clunky. A shame.

希望之后能出个剧情回放的功能，毕竟空间站的电脑让某一个当储存媒介进行交互应该没啥问题吧

Hard to believe this game released back in 2021, time flies alright.... This is a really fun game, only hard part is the boss obviously. Sometimes you can cheap them out if you have good cores you've "tried your best" to keep all the way to the boss and other times you are just screwed. I still hate that my friend who made it (and his team now I guess) updated the game to only have stages before fighting the boss up to 3, it used to be 4. Now that I've beaten the game I rather just run around destroying things rather than fight the boss. I really wish before he stopped updating the game he made some endless mode or a 50 to 100 floor challenge or just simply an endless mode so I can keep running around playing all day. I swear he showed me something else that was coming before he stopped working on the game which was a New boss and I can't find that info anymore and I haven't talked to the guy in years since now he owns a company somewhere in Korea. Anyway long story short, the buffs/debuffs in this game are great and very well thought out. it's a few I hate but...mmm you know, that's games for you. Before the full stop update he added new weapons such as Miku's Leak stick (Miku fan when I asked) and other references from animes like Fist of The North Star ATATATATATA fist which does hella damage but you get buffed. Oh and some vtuber that I don't know much about has a weapon in this game too. Hats you unlock give different traits such as for example at the start of a level a weapon box will be placed if you want to throw away your current weapon and other things. Again, it's a really great game to the point even the soundtrack is awesome. Thanks my brother.

三流水准

plays like a dream on steam deck handheld up to 90fps on high settings! just set resolution in the game's "property settings" to 1920x1080p and check box under it to match inner and outer display.this will open up your resolution options for "BOTH"your docked display AND HANDHELD.then,once your in the game,just match resolution to 1920x1080p (90fps) and set to full screen and quality on max and it will run like a star.enjoy!

Story is not deep but it's decent and it has lots of well known JP VAs. However, the story ended up open ended, like it's setting up a sequel. But since this game released since 2021 and no news anymore about it then it might as well be abandoned, which is sad since this seems to be their most popular game. Feels like there's a lot more cut content somewhere given how the records has a lot more depth on what happened in the ship and that ending. Also the Metallic childs you fought has some anime personalities that could've at least have some more in-depth background stories and their thoughts of the rebellion given that they're similar tech as Rona herself. Also I don't feel like completing everything since chips amount you get don't scale so it's very grindy to unlock things. The rogue-lite elements are too harsh as well, I tend to get useless mini-cores (the buffs) or bugged cores (debuff) too much which makes it hard to know what build you'll end up or ending up not being able to build anything since the mini-cores expire too fast that you have to abuse few mechanics just to keep the good buffs. Basically the damage buffs are too rare it takes me 2-4 runs before I get one. It's always battery which is a non-issue for all weapon types anyways so its useless. Same with supercores (permabuffs for that mission), always get useless ones

I like roguelites and I agree that this one is unique however with that said its really not the best and heres why and to preface I only encountered one bug so what I encountered is likely intended gameplay. 1. The dodging and block mechanic is not 100% reliable in that some times even though you hit the input a second earlier the game ignores it about 30% of the time in my experience even with full charge. 2. Miniboss characters are often poorly placed and have the spongiest hp bars that the most reliable method is tossing enemies at them for collision damage. 3. Some miniboss characters can grab and their range is absurd, about twice their occupied space in a 180 degree area in front of them with dodging often being ineffective and blocking entirely useless. 4. Difficulty slops upward hard after the first boss defeat which may be due to biomes or a difficulty curve i couldnt tell. 5. weapon choices are pretty slim in most runs often being locked behind an absurd ingame price tag or in the corner of a map if you're lucky and usually without an S-teir weapon the main boss is an absurd slog 6. Main boss hp bars are tanky af and require more patience than skill to beat 7. Upgrades/costumes are absurdly expensive, for context in two full runs I could buy one upgrade to a stat and after 4 runs I managed to afford one decent costume. 8. THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DIALOUGE! its so insanely long think the usual "could have been an email" sort of scenario and i get it if it was for story events sure but it occurs with every damn npc even a sentient volleyball thing for a sidequest.

I discovered this game way back in 2021, and admittedly downloaded it for free on IGGGames. To my surprise, i fell in love with it rather quickly. And I'd return to it frequently. It is a roguelite through and through, but it definitely has it's own identity. You really have to play it to find out. In a short time of messing around in the game, the mechanics suddenly "click", and you get hooked. I forgot all about this game a few years ago. But recently I've been returning to some of my fave roguelites, like Hades, and then I suddenly remembered Metallic Child. I decided to look it up on Steam and pay for it properly, as i should have years ago. Coming back to it, I still love it very much. Trust me when I say this is a VERY underrated game. If you like roguelites and anime cyberpunk artstyle with a big dose of cuteness, then it's a must play. And make no mistake, the cuteness is misleading, because this game is for gamers who enjoy some difficulty. And there is even the occasional dark humor sprinkled throughout too, interestingly enough. This game is for adults. Kids will struggle. Glad I remembered to add this to my library. Absolutely worth every penny.
