Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
172 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Kind of simple combat wise (so far) , though still very fun and the customization is sick.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But behind its slick visuals and mecha-core soul lies a game at war with itself—one that offers brilliant customization and engaging core combat, but suffers from convoluted systems, unintuitive controls, and a difficulty curve that nosedives from thrilling to trivial.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With pixel-art aesthetics, real-time ray tracing, and a dynamic soundtrack, it aims to blend retro charm with modern technical flare.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is interesting and takes the "robots replacing humans in the future" trope, but gives us a chance of reverting such a fate.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This one's probably just me but the song that plays in the intro/lobby is grating... the soundtrack overall is quite good but that one track is rough on the ears :')
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For what it's worth, it plays incredibly well on my Steam Deck on mid settings with only occasional stutter as the number of enemies/explosions scales up.
