You are in for a great time!
One of the best gaming experiences I ever played. Queen Latifah is always awesome here too!
Played a bit of mecha break during the open beta this sunday.
6v6 PvP mech action, the mech can dash a lot, move quite fast and fly pretty easily (with at least one with infinite flying), no real aiming to speak of (maybe for the sniper, didn't try it). Gameplay wise, it wasn't bad, I enjoyed the high speed and relative long life span you have, there's various mech (10-15) and they have a good amount of diferentiation between them. Map mode aren't all that interesting, but its was early in the game life, so there was no strategy to speak of, nor much of matchmaking skill. So match would just be most people doing their things, with objective being ignored. Hard to say if it would be better playing with people who know what they were doing.
But, its a F2P with all the negative, there's a battlepass, and one of the mech is locked behind it, probably requires close to 100 hours to unlock if you don't pay. There's also a bunch of currency and various things that are just confusing on purpose. The game also has a long tutorial, and then hand hold you way too much, forcing you to take part in specific mode before you can decide what you want to do.
The game is also leaning hard into the worse mech anime trope, girl have massive boob, dumb personality and the camera is obsessed with learing at them (I picked a male avatar to get away from that, and there's so many camera angle that are clearly there just to zoom in on your avatar boob, so its quite strange).
Yeah that sure was a surprise.You are in for a great time!
Well, that was quick, the whole game was an hour lol. Now it does have that thing where it grades your performance in each level and little extra thingies you can pick up if you know where they are so plenty of replayability but I'm not one for that. I think the way this game implemented all that was really good though.
I enjoyed the game but, man, I am too slow for this stuff, I had to use the feature to skip a couple parts. But I also got a gold and a few silvers so I'm happy.
Definitely it's about the music and the clever ways they found to have you do basically the same thing but make it feel different by level design. That's my kind of jam.
A bunch of Annapurna games are on sale actually so I went on a bit of a shopping spree: Solar Ash, Gorogoa, and The Pathless to continue this indy-but-slick short gaming vibe I'm in.
Edit to add: Coccon is also on sale! Everybody play Cocoon!
So, uh... two words: Crucible Knight.
Wonder how Rykard's doing. On the other side of the continent.
