METALLIC CHILD

There's a space station where robots with human intelligence have been created. That would be great if it weren't for the failed mutiny that's now got the space base on an extinction-event collision course with Earth. The only one who could stop it was one of those new-fangled robots, a Metallic Child named Rona. The bad news is that she's been so badly damaged she can't move on her own. The good news? You have made contact with the ship's systems and can repair her and control her to help save humanity! Metallic Child is a top-down brawling dungeon-crawl. Hades really showed everyone how to make a good game in this genre, though Metallic Child does a fantastic job of differentiating itself. Across your runs, you power up static abilities all while juggling randomized ability Cores you pull from defeated enemies and loot. Cores rapidly degrade and having three at a time awards a powered up state, so it's a constant shuffle of what three various effects you may have at any given time. There are even negative ones with some interesting results, such as a spam filter that blocks your camera feed of the game screen with pop-ups. Negative Cores do give you Bug Data, which is needed to unlock the more powerful static abilities on your regular level ups, so it can be conducive to just pick up every core you get, though that results in making it really hard to power up any one given ability that you might like, as you can't always choose what you're replacing. There is an element of choice, though with how it all winds down, sometimes that choice is minimal and, given the highly random nature of what's on offer, when a good build does congeal it often feels more like you lucked into a few good choices rather than any sort of meaningful decision making. Gameplay is split between fighting through stages or in downtime at your base, where you can spend collected points to upgrade Rona permanently in different ways, buy outfits for her that have unique power-ups, unlock fan-art, view cutscenes, and all that jazz. When you're ready to take on a stage, you choose which Metallic Child you're going after and then fight through three randomized dungeon layouts that all have a unique theme, hazards, and enemies for whoever your chosen boss is. Clearing an entire stage takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how thorough you want to be. Combat is a snappy brawl of an affair with just a little jank and a few too many options. The basic system is that anything special uses up your battery, which you can normally only charge up by landing basic attacks. I like that I can throw enemies into walls, hazards, and each other. I don't get much use out of jumping but it sure is there. You can skill cancel into your weapon swap to chain into the other weapon's skill and this hits for big damage if you can get an enemy to take it. There are dodge rolls but if you're using a weapon with a shield you get blocks and parries instead. You can find automated drones and sometimes get super gear with limited use time. Every boss awards a shiny super move you can use with their own limited means of gaining extra charges. Some of these are wildly overpowered! It's been a bit to acclimate to but didn't overstay its welcome at about 10 hours to clear. Folks looking for a challenge can play the harder difficulty that unlocks upon first clear and there are plenty of little upgrades and unlocks to work towards if you're into that sort of thing. All in all, METALLIC CHILD is a fun little time and worth playing if you're into this genre of game. The voice cast deliver fantastic performances, the characters are likeable, the plot has a few surprises, and the gameplay has just enough there to satisfy someone looking for just a little depth--so long as you don't mind upgrades being far more on the random side.

재미없음 몹 재탕 액션 스킬 단순 중간에 나오는 슈팅 미니게임들이 차라리 할만함

로그라이트가 약하게 가미된 액션 RPG, 메탈릭 차일드입니다. 국내 1인 개발이라는 나름 감동적인(?) 서사를 가진 게임입니다. 1인 개발에 맞지 않게, 게임 자체도 꽤 잘 빠졌어요. 후반부를 제외한다면 말이죠. 기본적으로는 록맨의 시스템을 차용했습니다. 순서 상관 없이 깰 수 있는 8명의 보스. 스테이지를 깨나갈수록 강해지는 적들. 그리고 역시 스테이지를 깨나갈수록 조금씩 진전되는 스토리. 다만, 횡스크롤인 록맨과 달리 이 쪽은 3D 쿼터뷰이고 나름 로크라이크 요소를 넣어 전투에 변화를 줬습니다. 기본적으로는 꽤 재미있습니다. 타격감도 우수하고 액션도 좋아요. 하지만 치명적인 문제가 있는데, 바로 공격력입니다. 이 게임은 공격력을 올릴 수 있는 수단이 1. 스테이지 내에서 얻는 코어 2. 무기 이렇게 둘 뿐입니다. 1번은 시간제한이 있어 스테이지 내에서 오래 못 써먹기 때문에, 사실상 2번에 의존해야 하는 시스템이에요. 그런데 2번이 스테이지 내에서 안 뜬다...? 후반부 스테이지에서는 방 하나 클리어 하는데 몇 분이 소모됩니다. 특히 대망의 마지막 스테이지인 마그나 스테이지에서는 풀콤보를 대체 몇 대를 맞춰야 잡몹 하나가 죽는지 모를 정도에요. 이 공격력 이슈 때문에 안 그래도 템포가 긴 게임이 후반으로 갈수록 미친듯이 늘어집니다. 한 마디로 재미 없어져요. 그것도 매우. 이 때문에, 이 게임을 하는 분들은 스토리는 그냥 유튜브 에디션으로 보고 대략 4~6번째 메탈릭 차일드 잡는 것 까지만 하기를 추천 드립니다. 딱 거기까지가 추천이고 그 이후로는 비추천인 게임이에요.

나사가 좀 많이 빠진 하데스 느낌남. 스테이지 하나하나가 너무 길어서 루즈한 느낌이 심함. 코만도스 오리진처럼 어거지로 적들 많이 배치해놓고 플탐 늘리는 느낌?. 노가다는 심한데 보상은 적음. 하데스처럼 스피드한느낌을 못느낌. 그리고 구르기할떄 적들도 콜라이더 판정있어서 끼여버리니깐 진씸 짜증남. 이런류는 적있어도 구르기는 통과되게 해줘야 되는거아님?. 짜증나는 요소가 많긴한데 1인개발이면 정상참작으로 추천드림. 혼자서 만든것치곤 괜찮음. 그래도 할말은 해야해서 했음.

発売当初に買ったものを積みに積んで、ようやっと重い腰を上げてクリアまで行った、けども…。 ゲーム性に関しては他のレビュアーさんが呈している通りなので割愛しますが、ストーリーがあまりにもモヤモヤする終わり方でこれはちょっと…となってしまった。 もうちょっとシナリオなんとかならんかったのか、というかなんとでもなる設定なのにどうしてそういう方向に行ってしまったのか…。次回作作りたかったにしてももうちょっとやりようがあっただろうに。 キャラはボス含めめちゃくちゃ大好きな部類なので残念です。 いちおうオススメははいにしておきますが個人的な評価としてはほぼプラマイ0です。

割と雑な操作でも何とかなるアクションゲー。 いろいろ割り切って遊ぶのが吉。 ※全実績解除を狙うなら別。 1部屋あたり、被弾0回でS評価、4回で以上でD評価。（ダブルキルとかすると、その分緩和） っていう感じになるが、評価低くても困る事はぶっちゃけ無い。 ※一部のコス取得条件に引っかかるぐらいか？ まぁS取りたくなるけれどね。 ヴァーチャルミッションは結構ストレス（被弾したら即終わりなので…）だが、ストーリー進行には関係無いので、捨てても良いかと。 復元が、まとめて解放出来ないのは何とかならないか…計223回、復元してはちょっと離れてから復元…の繰り返しが必要。 ※これもストーリーには必須じゃないし、チップに余裕はないだろうし。 なお、NPCの出現はランダムっぽいが、検証としてはあまり自信が無い所ではあるが、 ・ステージ1でも出る ・1つのステージで出るNPCは1人だけ と、思われるので、スタート地点で出現するNPCは、ステージ1をリスタート繰り返していれば良いと思われる。 スタート地点以外で出るNPCは、逆にスタート地点に誰もNPCが出ない事が必須。 ※ぐるりと部屋を回る必要があるので、それはどうしようもないか…。 ※私はADVANCEDでアイスラのステージで実施した。

除了操作手感有点僵硬，没多少问题的普普通通的动作类游戏。

might be better to play with controller but alas, its good!
