“This is going to be a negative because this game is a bit too mediocre to truly recommend, even though there is some fun to be had with it. The customization aspect is enjoyable and it implements something that I found…”
“Armored Core but more anime pretty fun not as much depth story wise but its a fun game and that's all that matters”

“Very bland boring combat, you hold down 2 buttons to win, and visuals are meh, but mech designs were good. If you want a good mech game just buy armored core.”

“It's an armored core lite that makes some minor attempts to innovate upon that series but very little of it is meaningful and what isn't innovative is merely decent or lackluster compared to it. Lacking weapon variety…”
“..this games not nearly as good as armored core 6, its fun but it has its flaws for one the meele combat is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stiff asf, movement feels stiffer than AC6, guns don't feel as Impactful as Armoreed Core 6 Mercenaries…”
