People talk about this game's quality, most specifically the quality of its animations and voice acting and graphics, sometimes even the story, in a negative light because they're used to triple-A games with up to a hundred or more people actively working on it. Some games have an entire animation department, an entire voice acting department, an entire story department.

To quote an Iron Man movie line, "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave with a box of scraps!"

That's how I view this game. For one man to make a game of this quality all on his own? The only outside help he probably had being non-professional voice actors? This game is a love letter to the Armored Core games. It reminds me of Project Wingman and how it's a love letter to the Ace Combat franchise. This game is absolutely worth the full price if you're a fan of mecha games, and if you're not, then get it on sale. I happened to be a fan of mecha games, and I was able to get it on sale, but I can confidently say that I would have paid full price for the game.

To double back on the story-- I get that it's not the most sensical thing, but you have to suspend your disbelief for games. I did that, and I've absolutely enjoyed the story. I'm excited to see where future DLC and sequels might take the fight against the Reds. I just have the final Operation: Ascalon DLC mission to complete, Suez.
