Wasnt expecting much when i first heard of the game, to the point of lacking complete interest over it, but after some time and seeing videos about from youtubers i follow, i decided to give it a try, boy was i missing something.

This game almost gives nostalgia vibes with its old mission/level design, no open-world, no dozens of mechanics to learn, no crafting, no nothing, just missions and your AC (the mecha) which you can modify extensively, its a breath of fresh air to be able to just play the game that doesnt overcomplicate anything.

Like mentioned, the AC can be modified heavily to fit different playstyles, from being close/medium/long ranged, to using missiles, energy weapons, being a tank, being fast, a balance in between, being able to remain in the air for long, etc, lots of parts to play with, which are largely obtained from the shop ingame, you earn "Credits" by playing the missions, allowing you to buy a multitude of parts to modify your AC, allowing lots of replay value.

If you like a game where you wanna build your war machine and go blow stuff up, this is it.

The game is well optimized from my experience, and largely didnt ran into any bug, the game art direction is also really good with how it portrays a devastated planet thats being exploited by greedy corporations, typical of Fromsoft, it sells the post-apocalyptic and depressive vibe really well.

Balance wise, i would say its ok, the game can be hard, but i wouldnt consider it one of Fromsoft hardest games, some bosses can be rough tough.

Writing wise, it surprised me, the plot is really down to whats essential, not relying on spectacle or the like, but just the writing and its characters which are REALLY well written, and also acted by the VA, you never get to see anyone personally, they're just voices, but the writers and VA did a fantastic job at selling each and everyone of these "Faceless" characters, specially the most unlikable one which you'll recognize right away when you meet him and the way the game handles the build up of the third and final ending was interesting as well, which does require playing the game at least 3 times to truly complete it and get the full story.

I enjoyed this game far more than expected, this is made better by its OST, which you should give a listen to, personal favorite being "Rusted Pride", in conclusion, its simple, replayable, has good writing and characters, and good OST, and like i said earlier, if you wanna make a war machine and destroy everything in your path, this game is perfect for you.

I highly recommend this game.

9/10
