    Volta-X can’t be played without an active online connection. Forget about taking it on the bus or anywhere that the Switch can’t stay connected. Even putting it in rest mode for a minute or two will drop the connection, and along with this comes increased battery usage — my playtime between charges was notably reduced. This laundry list of issues breaks my heart, because Volta-X has a great concept and could have easily been a killer eight-to-ten-hour adventure filled with lasers, rocket-powered fists and awesome explosions. Instead, the experience is brought down by stretching it into the sort of neverending online game-as-service that it isn’t suited for. Time to take this ‘bot offline and reboot.

The art and music are phenomenal. I'm new to it... it's a bit confusing and theres a learning curve. But if you've played strategy games... ones where you have to control the headquarters, characters, the battle, etc? Kinda like xcom... but the battles are real time, not turn based. You're only controlling a giant mech during battle but it has 3 characters per mech needing to move around and create damage, avoid damage and fix damage all at the same time. It took some getting used for me but it's a lot of fun.… Full Review »
