How it feels

Playing Daemon X Machina feels like piloting a highly customizable, fast-moving mech in frantic, arcade-style skirmishes with a slick anime aesthetic.

What players say

Players say the story and dialogue are poorly written with too many cutscenes, but the mech combat and customization can be fun. The game is often compared unfavorably to Armored Core 6, though some find it a decent alternative on lower-end hardware. Opinions split on whether the repetitive missions and bland weapons outweigh the satisfying flight and boss fights.
