    fantastic game, not sure why noone is playing this. I don't even like these mech games but decided to dive in after playing the demo and I haven't been dissapointed, excellent combat system and a good story to boot.
    Maybe the visuals aren't the best,bu certainly not the worst I've seen. would reccomend at least playing the demo if it's stioll avsailable, you may surprise yourself.

    이 게임 제작자의 가장 큰 실수는 데모를 공개한 것임. 데모때문에 너무 저평가 받고 있음. 아머드코어의 추억에 빠져있는 사람들에겐 분명 박할 수 있으나 스위치에서 보기드문 메카닉물에 파고들 요소도 충분히 많음. 스토리는 다소 엉성하나 그 외의 것들로 커버됨.

    I really love this game, but it's not for everyone, like every mecha game it's a bit repetitive and the story isn't bad but still full of cliches. On the other hand the fights and the customization are incredibly good and the online co-op is very fun, i spent a massive amount of time shooting enormous machines to get new parts for my mecha and planning the right strategy to kill some bosses.

    Armored core-like games are disappeared from the market even if people love them, this one is a try to revive the genre but it fails because they tried to make it more casual-friendly ruining almost all aspects of it.

    While a little rough around the edges the core gameplay of this game is an absolute blast and I personally have never played a mech game executed with this level of detail or that came anywhere near being this engaging ( I’m leaving Titan Fall out of this since they’re so different but TF is awesome too) it’s a good time for sure and the Mission Menu bgm track slaps.

    Underrated. Controls are fine, especially for those familiar with armored core. If your mecha feels clunky then you aren't building correctly to your play style, it's good that they kept the spirit of AC and had not gone dynasty warriors with mechs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be blunt, DxM is a good game. It's a solid mecha action shooter with some in-depth customization systems for both the pilot and suit. But, the game's lack of a solid and well-versed narrative thwarted with waaay too many different characters and a stack of missions too short and awkward to enjoy make getting into those systems hard.

    I haven't played too much of this game. I've put about 20 or so hours in, mostly in the story mode, and I will say while I didn't expect the world, I did expect more. DxM at its core is a mecha action game where you are supposed to farm for different parts and weapons to make differenet suits for different situations, to (I believe) ultimately go into online and dominate in PvP or grind with others for better parts. The base system of the game is built to be just that: you do missions, online or offline, where different bosses and enemies will be there to give you a shot at picking up parts specific to that mission. Think like how Monster hunter or God eater would do it, essentially. That core system works and it is good, but the rest of the game hinders the majority of people being able to get behind it.

    Monster Hunter never had much narrative, but it has a bunch of unique items and armor and super fun missions to play. God Eater has an interesting narrative with some decent and unique things to make. DxM in those terms has very copy and paste armor pieces and a handful of weapons where the only deviation are the add-on parts you give to them. While the "system" is good, as aforementioned, the "missions" are not so much. The story missions are either so easy it's insulting to try and grind or even make a unique set, or they're so awkwardly designed to be unfair and downright hard that you need to suddenly go back and grind for a specific part to beat it. It makes for a mix of repetitive to somewhat boring gameplay, even though a mecha action shooter should be in-your face explosive action that keeps you hooked.

    When you couple this with the worst part of the game - the story - you turn DxM from a potentially great mecha to a sappy, watered down shooter. The story in this game is awful, and for a few reasons. Besides some context from random trailers, the writers of DxM give you NOTHING to go on. As you progress through the story missions you get bits and pieces of the history of the world in the game, but not nearly enough to make any climactic action or drama leave in impact on the player. The main arching point for the game is the AI system going rogue (or something?) and the mercenaries who work together a LOT but also fight each other a LOT start to question why they are fighting each other. Just to turn around and, every time, say "oh well you shouldn't come to battle if you don't want to fight," then go back to asking WHY ARE WE FIGHTING EACH OTHER?! It's a ridiculously bad narrative with no meaning or seams that hold it together. It goes all over the place in its attempt to be a philosophical, post-apocalypse tale that would copy masters of the theme like Yoko Taro. It's just bad overall, and when you mix that in with the fact there are so many characters going by so many codenames, the average player can't keep up enough to care. They tried to remedy this bad plot with some text message conversations you will get after each mission that are so dragged out that there's no point in reading them, even if they gave us some hint as to what the hell is going on.

    Story and bad single missions aside, multiplayer is the silver lining to this game. You have PvE, basically playing a slew of missions together with other players to get parts and experience, and other modes like PvP which are really interesting, but also a bit worthless since the game didn't bother to balance out a lot of the customization areas for things such as the auto-aim auto-lock and long distances electric gun weapons. Multiplayer has been a relatively fun experience to do for an hour or so once in a while to get some more parts and just grind out.

    However, multiplayer is dead.

    So this game loses its own silver lining because it tears away most interests in its bad single player setup, and general setup of its core missions. A lot of potential, but now that no ones playing, I wont be coming back to that story mode for a LONG time.    … Expand

    If this game were released as-is in the year 2000 it would still have played second fiddle to Armored Core 2. The enemies are bland, the controls are unsatisfying, and overall combat is an absolute snoozefest. The only decent thing about the game is mech customization, which - if you ignore the fact that all chassis run on the same skeleton - is quite vast.

    The gameplay is honestly just overshadowed, though, by the games FFF production standards. What is FFF? Imagine a AAA game, and it's the opposite of that. The cringeworthy writing and dialogue is only made worse by the dirt-cheap localization. I cannot understate just how bad the presentation of this game is. The music, characters, and foley work simply sucks.

    TLDR: If you don't mind a game set in an ugly brown world populated by a caste of bland clichés that you won't care about, and if you don't mind playing the game on mute, you might find something that scratches the anime 'mech fighter itch but is not innovative or even well-polished.    … Expand

    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.
