Big thanks to @derkchannel9201 for help on this video! Go sub to my man.

Daemon x Machina is a remarkably flawed game that gets some things spot on and others... not so much?

This heavily anime inspired mech fighter feels like it borrows more from the Earth Defense Force series than it does Armored Core, and it somehow manages to mess up in trying to appeal to either audience. The "story" and dialogue beyond cringe, the level design is basic and lacking good ways to engage the player, enemy encounters are flaccid, floppy and unfun, and this is one of a handful of games I have ever actually refunded on Steam.

This is not a good holdover for Armored Core fans waiting on Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, this is not a good game if you have low tolerance for cringe, this is not a good game if you dislike poor pacing and mechanical progression, and you have to enter *very* open minded to enjoy it. I know there are people out there that like it, but it felt like a wildly inferior version of what it tries to emulate, where I'd rather just go play EDF5 or one of the many Armored Core games.
