Megaton Musashi W: Wired has a good-enough story and decent-enough gameplay to keep mech enthusiasts entertained, but the real attraction lies in the myriad ways to customize and overpower your robot. Players will want to spend more time in the hangar than on the battlefield. I think that’s OK in this case, as the battlefield isn’t terribly exciting.

- Megaton Musashi W: Wired may not attract may new devotees, but for those who cannot resist strapping into a giant anthropomorphic robot, this is a rollicking good time
- I walked away from Megaton Musashi W: Wired feeling very optimistic for the forthcoming onslaught of Level-5 games due out in the near future, but it was also a reminder of their strengths and weaknesses. The presentation is incredible, complete with a compelling story and charming characters. The action-oriented parts lag behind, though. The mech battling is totally fine hack-and-slash fun, but it rarely exceeds that. If you’re looking for a fun mechs-vs.aliens narrative to enjoy on your Switch, Megaton Musashi W: Wired absolutely rocks. But if you’re here solely for robot combat, you’re best looking elsewhere.
- 7.0Megaton Musashi W: Wired es un juego correcto y majo, pero aunque me haya gustado lo que me quiere contar, se me han hecho bola sus peleas y algunos tramos de su narración. Le falta más garra, llevar a buen puerto muchas de las ideas que plantea y no depender de un online tan escasito de gente. Pero la personalización de los robots y los personajes están más que bien.
- Making ample use of its inspiration, Megaton Musashi W: Wired is a formiddable mecha-action game that manages to delicately balance narrative and action into a compelling package. Despite some oversimplistic gameplay and inconsistent pacing, the overall experience is engaging enough to grab your attention and keep it well rewarded. Megaton Musashi W: Wired is a title full of character and ambition that manages to stick the landing for the most part, even if it isn't quite reinventing the wheel.
- 7.0I didn’t know how much I would gel with Megaton Musashi W: Wired as I don’t consider myself much of a mech fan, but I was surprised by how invested in the narrative and gameplay I became. Though the story’s pacing could have been polished better and combat can get a bit repetitive, it’s an enjoyable experience that I fear many will miss out on this year as it has snuck in under the radar. If you love anime, mechs, or even just like beating down aliens (and other players online) in your own customised exoskeleton, give Wired a shot.
Gamer reviews
Expositions Galore!!!
Another anime game. Oh boy. As much as I hate modern anime, I cannot be deterred away from playing this game knowing that you get to control giant mechs in battle. And not just any mech, I'm talking Mazinger Z, Voltez V and more. I grew up watching these amazing old-school anime mech shows, so it is a no-brainer that this would attract a gamer such as myself. But after playing 30 minutes of this game, my excitement turned to annoyance with the amount of bad writing and expositions dumps this game's campaign has. It's really bad. And to top it off, the phasing of the story is god awful. I'll try my best not to spoil it. SUMMARY: The earth was destroyed by aliens. Humans now need to live in a hidden shelter and their memories erased. But there is a secret army hidden inside the shelter and they recruit pilots to help them fight against the aliens. END. So, its a very mediocre story you might think, but it gets bad. Really fast. Especially with the amount of uninteresting characters shoved to your face like the game is saying "Here, this is a new idiot you need to like! Enjoy! By the way, here's another!" It gets extremely exhausting. I spent the majority of character dialogue and cutscenes pressing the skip button. Lets go over the PROS and CONS. PROS: 1. The combat. The combat is just like most 3rd person lock-on games. And, I'm ok with that. 2. The amount of customization you can do for your mech is amazing. Like having a fire based melee mech? You can do just that. Want a lightning based shotgun build? Can do! 3. There is coop. Haven't tried it though. But, the fact that its in there makes it so much better. Nothing is more fun than playing a game that relies on combat with a friend. Sadly, this is where the pros end cause it's all downhill from here. CONS: 1. The story. It's as bad as Ganblue Fantasy Relink's story. It's equivalent to a bucket of day old cat feces. 2. The music. Its obnoxiously bad. At times, during combat, you'll hear the vocals go "namanamaneyney namanamaneyney!!" over and over again and its enough to drive you mad. Also, there is a cringe jap/rap crap song in there. *puke*! 3. The interruptions during boss battles in the campaign. You'll spend all your skills and cooldown to bring down the boss, but hold on, look at the HP! It didn't budge! That's because you need to wait for the dialogue from characters talking to you to exhaust, so they can introduce to you a new skill that CAN ONLY DAMAGE THE ENEMY! WHAT THE FUCK! THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING! This is by far one of the most annoying experience I had playing this game. Or any game on that matter. Being interrupted is one of my biggest peeves in life. And this game hands it over to you like its the biggest feature it offers. GARBAGE! 4. The side quests. Now, side quests in the quest hub is fine. But the side quests offered to you in town is downright dull and an instant IGNORABLE CONTENT for me. No way will I spend minutes to complete trash content when all I want is to enjoy mech combat in the quest hub. And yeah. I guess that is all for this extremely mediocre game. Do I recommend it? Not on full price. Hell no. But, if you got a few friends to play with, I'd say buy it on sale for the coop experience and also for the mech combat gameplay.
