Indie Armored Core. My playthrough including the expansion totals 14.8 hours. Well worth it for the money. As a bonus the dev immediately patched the Unity bug even though it had been a year since the game was last patched. That sort of dedication to a project should be supported.

Playing this game after completing Muvluv Trilogy wish there is more good game like this with proper way to do storytelling, shout out the the solo dev too for making this happen lol. Pros: - Not grindy to farm compared to EDF series - Fun mission without dragging it very long - You can customize your mech from color to weaponary Cons: - Game too short i feel, i just want more stage - No Steam Achievement - Goofy ahh dialogue from NPC What i wish they added: - Co-op - Steam Achievement

Feels like a love letter to MuvLuv and a glimpse to what Project Mickhail should have been. I am amazed that this was developed by one person. You have my sincere gratitude my friend, I played your gain straight for over 2 days. The gameplay was exactly what I was looking for. The overall plot and the direction of the war was realistic, Mission variation and Weapons are also very cool. I only have three gripes: 1. I have is the hit or miss drop catch of gear, would be much better if you could trade or buy the pieces you want. 2. The enemies are buggy, some of them walk to walls for no apparent reason bypassing their targets, Some just spin around, kills immersion. 3. The dialogue, ranging for jarring, out of tone to just plain weird it just feels like something AI wrote. I write novels for a living, and I offer my services to you for free, just so I can collaborate on this or the next MKN. Still, a very awesome game. Kudos!

10/10, there are zombies, there are a lot of them, and you have nuclear cannons strapped to both shoulders of your mech with a clear message you have to send. It feels like a lot of the mech games tend to go into this direction where you are forced to fight increasingly stronger enemies that really undermine just how powerful a mech is. Not this game. There are big, tanky enemies, for sure, but you are the nightmare on the field, not them. Arsenal progressively gets more and more absurd where you progress through shotguns, 120mm howitzers, rapid-fire laser death beams and ending with a literal shoulder-mounted nuclear cannon. You fire that thing, and a good chunk of them, along with your FPS, are simply gone. Well, provided you get lucky enough with box gacha to get those weapons, because of course mutants have to drop military-grade equipment in neat tidy boxes that you just strap onto your mech, and that must be the only way through which you can acquire better jihad equipment. The game is sadly a bit rough around the edges and really feels like a bit of an EA. I was not joking about the FPS being gone before, the game struggles to keep to 60fps, and I don't think it should. Next, the game does not "formally" end. When you beat the last mission it simply throws you back into the mission select like nothing happened, no fade-to-black-with-credits, not even a popup saying this is it. I literally thought I bugged out at first. The story is vastly disconnected from the player experience. It treats the zombies as if they are a force to be reckoned with while your experience is that they barely pose a challenge and really, as long as you can find enough ammo you could end the whole the whole epidemic single-handedly. One could debate that the game being unable to really give you a challenge is a negative, but I classify it more as a positive because you can feel really powerful if you play optimally. DLCs sadly feel like cut content rather than extra content. For one, the main DLC, Operation Ascalon, literally continues the main mission, that, once again, the game just abruptly ends with no fanfare. Tier 3 of weapons is also locked behind DLCs, yet the game shows that tier as if you would get it even in the base game. Well, hard to be truly upset though, the DLCs are well worth it, at least the story missions one. It took me a bit over 13 hours to beat, but that's also with me grinding some raids just for fun. To summarize, this game is a bit rough around the edges, but it definitely delivers. Easy recommend for shooter/mech fans even at full price, though, if you feel like waiting it typically goes on a >50% discount on sales. DLCs provide more content, of those the Ascalon is the only "mandatory" one, though the mission pack supposedly has some weapons too so might be worth it. I got both, and by far the best weaponry was in the DLCs.

On a small quest to play all the good Mech games on steam and i think this is gonna be in my top 10. GOOD: The Mech and all its parts and weapons are very well modelled. There's a variety of parts to play with. The Mech is fun to control. Voice acting is decent especially for a solo devs game. I also quite like the mission select screen with the world map. SUBJECTIVE?: Game length is about 8 hours for the base campaign and another 3-4 for the Ascalon dlc. I am completely fine with this length but some people seem to think otherwise. With the price tag and it being a relatively niche genre i don't see how you can complain, especially when the average cod game has similar length at 4 times the price. Graphics is another one. While the Mech and its parts are gorgeously modelled, the rest of the game is comparatively ugly. The environments blend together, the enemies-while varied-look only slightly better than the ground they walk on. However, i don't care. Graphics hardly matter for me when it comes to games. BAD: The voice acting might be good but some of the weapons are terrible. Straight up nail-on-chalkboard audio on some attacks. The audio mixing on others isn't the best either, with some feeling inexplicably louder than the rest. Overall its a hidden gem for anyone who needs more mechs in their life and doesn't have elite standards when it comes to quality. Damian i need the sequel. please
