![]() ![]() That's not necessarily a death knell for developer Marvelous's new game, however. ![]() Overall, it would seem that many people have enjoyed Daemon X Machina for its combat and spin on the archetypal inclusions in mech video game mechanics, but have almost universally disliked the game's story, which never seems to find the pacing many wanted out of it. Kotaku - Not Recommended: "Endless cutscenes and dialogue, repetitive fights." - Natalie Degraffinried I was thrilled enough by the opportunity to truly micro-manage a mech for the first time in a while, but there just wasn’t enough to do with my creation once I was done tinkering. It’s a frustrating thing - simultaneously proving that there’s life in this old genre, but failing to inject much of interest beyond the base level. Like a mech without a pilot, Daemon X Machina is a beautiful shell with not enough to fill it. That's what I'm going to remember out of all of this, which is safe for me to say because most everything else in this game is pretty forgettable. The combat is amazing, the game is bright and colorful, the framerate mostly holds up in either docked or handheld mode, and the hangar is great to tinker around in, checking out all the different configurations of my mech. the sum total of my experience with Daemon X Machina is positive. Daemon X Machina clanks along like a rusty old robot, and I think that's part of its charm. ![]() There are a lot of moving parts here, in short, and they're not exactly well-oiled. When you're dancing through abandoned cities with skyscrapers that come crumbling down under the weight of all that excessive firepower, all while you pirouette in between them and unleash your arsenal of shoulder-mounted rockets and clips of bullets from your oversized assault rifle into a swarm of robotic rascals, all that we've missed in Armored Core's absence comes into sharp focus. That DXM feels so distinct beyond that is just a bonus.Įurogamer - Recommended - Martin Robinson It is bright and energetic and filled with character, and those are the qualities you need to carry a curious, new generation of players into the fray long enough for them to find their footing in such a niche style of game. there’s more than one way to make a game about giant mechs, and like most of the best examples in this wide genre, Daemon X Machina zeroes in on its own vision and realizes it as best as it can. VICE - Recommended: "More Than Just The Second Coming of Armored Core" - Austin Walker The game allows players to pick up scrap parts from defeated enemies and equip them on the fly, making for some interesting battle dynamics that can shift at a moments' notice if a player notices a new part that could turn the tide. Daemon X Machina is a mech game that sees players work in teams with other mech users to help prevent catastrophe, but it's much more about the exciting, fast-paced, 360 degree combat than anything else - well, that, and perhaps its customization system. In Screen Rant's review of Daemon X Machina, it was mostly praised as a game that provides some interesting and fresh gameplay on a platform where it occupies a unique space, and others have echoed that sentiment. Daemon X Machina is very much a game that appeals to a niche demographic in the gaming community, but its a large enough one thanks to anime series like Gundam that it has the potential to be extremely profitable if done right.Īpparently, however, whether Daemon X Machina has been done correctly is very much up for debate. Daemon X Machina reviews released earlier today and the long-awaited mech game has made its mark as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, despite having some issues along the way. ![]()
