  Even though you can play Daemon X Machina pretty much the way you prefer due to all different weapon combinations, the thinness of the gameplay is unavoidable. However, in years’ long absence of new entry in Armored Core franchise, Daemon X Machina will satisfy the hunger for heated mech action. It’s colorful, fast-paced and sweet while it lasts.

  Although the Mech Warrior franchise felt more customizable overall, Daemon X Machina brings the optimal customization to what can be swapped in and out, while bringing a lot more to the genre in the visuals, gameplay and story. There are a few dull moments of awkward silence beyond the load screens in this game, often between lines of dialogue from one character to another. The narrative and cutscenes play like the best mech anime but the gameplay takes itself more seriously and is ideal for PC.

  Daemon X Machina works as a standard twitch-heavy action game, neglecting any deeper plot in favor of customizable, effective combat systems. Though it won’t stick with you after playing, this is a mech action game that garners some fun moments without being too experimental. If you’ve loved mechs before, Daemon X Machina will fill that void.

  Daemon X Machina may lack an engaging storyline and a dynamic mission structure, but the action is entertaining and visually striking enough for fans of giant mech combat. If you love huge, destructive war machines, you can wring some fun out of the game before the formula gets old.

  Daemon X Machina is a decent game, but it remains just that; decent. You’ll get a properly built mech experience, albeit, with a low variety of enemies, a graphical prowess directly ported from the Switch and a fairly low difficulty factor. Nonetheless, as far as mech games go, this one is actually very promising, if they update the game a little bit to match the specs of a decent PC build.

  If you love mecha and miss Armored Core as I do, Daemon x Machina is the game for you. It has some narrative issues, but the tight gameplay will keep you wanting more. This is one of the big sleepers of 2019, and you shouldn’t let it pass you by now that its on PC.
