![]() ![]() Not helping this is the decision to make the player protagonist silent. Often, it feels like the writers were just making it up as they went along, keeping only the key components of mercenaries, corrupted A.I., Immortals, and Femto, the mysterious power source that’s key to the Outer Rim, as constants. I was also never quite sure what was happening with the rest of Earth as world-building here is kept to a minimum. In many of my matches, I was able to completely wipe opponent Arsenals by keeping them at bay with guided missiles and a powerful melee club. As they have all the same abilities as you, though with different weapons, you’ll often have to outsmart them in order to emerge victorious. More often than not, it’ll be you and your squad versus them in a three-on-three fight. The real challenge you’ll be subjected to comes from your fellow mercenaries. Drones and tanks often don’t move that fast, don’t do much damage on their own, and don’t require too many hits before going kablooey. Most of the enemies you’ll face are easy targets. Because Daemon X Machina is generous with how it locks onto opposing forces, the only time I saw the mission failure screen was when my strategy for the battle crumbled. Enemy mechs can move around at great speeds, but with proper use of the boost functionality, so can you. Whether in the air or skating across the ground, there was never a moment I didn’t feel I had total control of my mech and complete awareness of what was happening on the battlefield. Movement on the battlefield is delectably fast and fluid. There can often be a lot of character dialogue before you’re allowed onto the battlefield, but it’s mostly well written and the voice acting does a decent job. companion - probably hear some story exposition from the other mercenaries, and then blast off to your destination. Missions are broken down into a familiar loop: you accept the mission, find out some details about where you’re going from Four - your A.I. Going out in these missions is an absolute blast and if you haven’t downloaded the newest demo, I highly suggest doing so before you make a decision on the game. As a newly awakened mercenary, constantly referred to as “the rookie” by others no matter how many dangerous missions you complete or how many times you beat them in battle, you’ll be joining in the exploits of these heroes and villains as they do battle with the Immortals, massive robots that corrupt the drones and tanks created by humans. It’s where, many years ago, humanity changed forever after a chunk of the moon broke off and collided with the planet. ![]() Daemon X Machina takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth, where a band of mercenaries from different organizations complete missions in the Outer Rim using giant mech suits known as Arsenals. ![]()
