    Mech game, mix matching parts, big boss battles could not ask for much more.
    Game does have some flaws but i can get over them. What I like about this game is the speed of the combat and game play is kind of what us mech fans like. I get some gundam vs vibes from the game with a bit of zone of the enders sprinkled on top.

    6.5/10 This game does NOT deserve a 0

    Story-wise is the worst piece of crap I have seen in recent memory (that's right, even worst than TLoU2)

    Sound mixing is also a mess, which is sad because it has a great OST that is going to be difficult to hear with all the other noice

    Graphics and performance are acceptable for a switch game (framerate drops a bit sometimes) and the art design is really good (except perhaps for the human characters)

    Where this game do really shine is in the gameplay, is fast-paced and it's customization have a LOT of options (you can even customized the HUD), there is no "strongest pieces" only builds that can be adapted depending of the situation

    It's an amazing mecha videogame, the best I have play by far in terms of combat gameplay, armored core fans are going to love it, especially for the solid multiplayer mode

    Like I said, is definely not perfect but if you are fan of the genre then you will enjoy it    … Expand

    This game is probably one of my favourites on switch. It is action packed mecha goodness. The story is great and the controls of the mech and person are fantastic. 10/10

    This game has been amazing. Haven't been able to find/play a great mecha game like this since Armored Core. Only thing that keeps this from being a 10 is the shop in the game not really offering things you didn't develop yourself and not being able to customize weapon color. Definitely not a game for those who do not want to look into technical details for building your mech or those whoThis game has been amazing.

Definitely not a game for those who do not want to look into technical details for building your mech or those who are easily motion sick though. Overall one of the best switch games out there that isn't an RPG. If you like fighting robots and building said robots this is a game for you.… Expand

    LOVE this game. Runs great and plays even better. Story is not half bad either. Yea it takes a couple of hrs to really get into it but its worth it. Looks great ,things are pretty on that end. Some ppl have issues with it but i found it so much fun. Now if we can get Madworld back on the Switch that would be perfect. Great job NIntendo!

    Daemon X Machina has a lot of personality when it comes to moment-to-moment action, but everything else sometimes feels like an afterthought. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 72]

    There’s much to applaud about Daemon X Machina. The third-person mech action game delivers an experience unlike any other on Nintendo Switch, thanks to the striking mech designs and red-drenched world merging with combat that can readily thrill in the game’s many large-scale encounters. However, shortcomings such as the convoluted plot and repetition let it down – holding it back from reaching the brilliance that Marvelous nearly achieved.

    The best description is this is basically Armored Core X Gundam. It has great mech and character customizations, fast and chaotic combat and a good enough story. If you have a Switch and are a mech fan then this game is a must buy.
