What players say
A Poor Man's Armored Core, not quite as good, but sometimes you just need a little bit of trash in your life.
Genuinely awesome game in all honesty, At the early stages of the game you can't really do anything, And as for the final boss, you have to fight GOD because someone tried to play god with mechs. No pun intended. 10/10 game though, Would reccomend. something like the anime version of armored core
A mech game that didn't feel great to me. Gameplay was mediocre, story is so poorly presented that it hindered the game more than helped, and overall presentation was nothing too stunning. Had this one in the backlog a long time and had my hopes, but this one just ain't it.
