Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art direction gives everything a cohesive space-y feeling while still being varied and making good contrasting use of color, the robots look so cool they even won over an old-school Japanese cartoon robot purist like me (I'll always prefer stuff like Go Nagai's Mazinger Z, Osamu Tezuka's Pluto and Mitsuteru Yokoyama's Black Ox to the more detailed "real robot" types that this game took influence from), the music is fitting, the animations and sound effects work... everything just comes together to make you feel like a mecha-piloting badass.

They dare to rise up the price when this ''optimized'' update has done no more than ♥♥♥♥ up the game.
