Considering the lack of people who have played this game, and the utter lack of games created by the developers (one being a BL visual novel, and the other being... i don't know honestly) I didn't expect much, in fact I expected less than nothing, but this game is is the definition of a hidden gem. Its a perfect mixture of games like Armored Core 6 and souls likes dark souls, sharing much of the gameplay, mechanics, and, most brilliantly, a dark and gritty aesthetics and story. If you're a fan of either you will love this game. I am on my hands and knees waiting desperately for more, be it a dlc or sequel.
I'm surprised at the amount of content in the game for a $20 price tag. The character building is fun to play with, there is an absolute ton of parts to choose from, and changing parts out can drastically change your playstyle. I'm surprised more people haven't picked this one up. I'm only about 10 hours in so far, and have defeated a few bosses, so I haven't seen everything, but I'm hoping that enemy variety opens up just a little bit more, though I wouldn't be surprised if it does, I am absolutely thrilled with what I have seen of these early parts of the levels. Very excited to see what else the game has to offer. Highly recommend
Note to Developers: I paid for the game full price, as well as the soundtrack and all of the cosmetics to show my support. I think this series has a lot of potential and I would love to buy a sequel in the future. Thank you for creating this game. Spoiler-free Review: Dolls Nest essentially blends high-speed Armored Core combat with Souls-like exploration and EYE Divine Cybermancy atmosphere. Here are the key things Dolls Nest has in common with Dark Souls/Demon's Souls: - Features interconnected maps, rather than a mission-based structure. - Features respawn points similar to bonfires, often represented by trees. - A central hub where you meet NPCs you've came across throughout your playthrough. - The story is not explicitly told, requiring players to dig for lore often found in item descriptions. - Players use a resource similar to souls to level up, but progression is constrained, requiring players to find specific items to increase their maximum level. - Includes instances where players are dropped into boss fights without warning, mimicking the unexpected traps often found in Dark Souls. - Death has an impact, with the player risking the loss of resources upon dying. Here are the key things Dolls Nest has in common with Armored Core: - Features fast-paced combat where players control a Frame Unit that can jump, glide, and use boosters, similar to the 5th generation Armored Core games. - The ability to customize your character's parts, including swapping legs, heads, and weapons to suit the situation. It features varied weapon types, including shoulder-mounted weapons that use a shared energy/ammunition pool. - Requires balancing your mech's weight and energy output, with different parts impacting movement and handling. - Features a camera system where rapid movement can feel restrictive or intentionally slow, simulating the weight and turn speed of a mech. Dolls Nest and EYE Divine Cybermancy share several deep-seated similarities, particularly in their atmosphere and design philosophy. Both games are considered niche, high-concept, and often janky, yet beloved by those who appreciate complex, uncompromising gameplay. Here are the key things they have in common: - High-Concept Philosophy: Both explore themes of artificial intelligence, synthetic life, and existential dread. Dolls Nest focuses on AI with an enigmatic purpose, while EYE tackles philosophical, religious cyberpunk themes. - Focus on Character Building: Both games feature heavy RPG elements where players manage complex stats, including armor, weapon systems, and energy systems. - Janky but Deep: Both could be described as 'diamonds in the rough', where interesting, ambitious design choices often outweigh a lack of polish. - Industrial/Mecha Aesthetic: Both emphasize a heavily mechanical, almost industrial-gothic style, where the character is a heavily augmented, armored entity. While Dolls Nest is more accurately described as a Mecha Musume Souls-like, its cyberpunk-fueled atmosphere and obscure narrative style are heavily reminiscent of the unique experience EYE Divine Cybermancy provides. Constructive Criticisms: I played using an Xbox 360 controller, where it's common to accidentally trigger adjacent buttons on the D-pad. This is most noticeable when rushing to use the utility module mid-combat. The default control scheme is great overall, only caveat is that I had to rebind 'Use Item' to 'D-pad right' to avoid accidentally healing within melee range of an enemy. The level of character customization for an Armored Core-like is unparalleled. Please give players the option to color customize thruster emissions. 03/20/26: I just reached what I assume is the second half of the game. My PC can run Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra settings 1080p consistent 60fps, but certain areas in Dolls Nest lag as low as 40 fps on max settings. The lack of optimization doesn't make the game unplayable, but it's worth mentioning. 03/31/26: Currently 24 hours in. Towards the mid-game, in the Frame Loadout scene, it becomes difficult to discern which parts/weapons are new. Please add a functionality that highlights recently acquired equipment.
