story7 positive mentions
grinding7 negative mentions
  • Fun and engaging mech rogue-lite gameplay with fluid controls, satisfying shooting mechanics, and great sound design.
  • Distinct and meaningful customization with three different mechs offering unique playstyles and a variety of weapons and upgrades.
  • Active and responsive developers providing frequent updates, fixes, and adding new features, showing strong potential for the completed game.
  • Currently limited content with relatively short playtime and lack of variety in missions and story, making it feel more like a demo than a full game.
  • Auto-aim system and controls have issues such as restrictive aiming zones and unwanted target switching, hampering precise gameplay.
  • User interface and accessibility problems including small unreadable text, overlapping UI elements, lack of proper tutorials, and until recently, missing keybinding customization.

  • story

    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 86% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The story is generally considered simple, somewhat thin, and reminiscent of cliche JRPG or sci-fi anime narratives, but it piques interest enough to keep players engaged. It is fully voice-acted and features multiple mission difficulty variants that add lore depth and perspective. However, players note the current story content is limited and somewhat disjointed in delivery, making them look forward to more expanded and polished story content in future updates.

    • “Also comes with a pretty good storyline and dialogue.”
    • “Kinda cliche story if you are familiar with JRPG or sci-fi anime, but still piques interest enough that makes me want to see what happens next.”
    • “Progression is well done too and story plus lore bits you unlock are well done.”
    • “The story is fairly thin currently, though entirely voice acted which is nice.”
    • “Mission start dialogue is either before loading the mission or after 10 minutes of progress, which causes awkward pacing: you may stand idle during an 'emergency' or get bombarded with info when busy fighting.”
    • “The story is... there... not really much to it, especially with so little available.”

  • gameplay

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    53% positive mentions, 27% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its fast-paced, fluid mechanics and engaging roguelike elements that emphasize mech customization and strategic maneuvering. It offers a challenging yet addictive experience with a solid balance between action and progression, complemented by a story mode that adds depth uncommon in similar games. Overall, the gameplay is dynamic, respectful of players' time, and highly enjoyable.

    • “The game gives you a challenging way to maneuver your mech and understand terrain and even the enemy units. Graphics are good and the gameplay is exciting.”
    • “Snappy gameplay with a solid roguelike system in place for early access.”
    • “A respectable installment in the mech genre that can give you gameplay moments of extreme speed and extreme firepower.”
    • “It's also one of the very few roguelites that respects your time and doesn't drag levels for 30+ minutes just to get in the extra hours of gameplay.”
    • “It's built around the roguelike Vampire Survivor style framework, but instead of playing the same level over and over, it incorporates the mechanic of building your mech as the round progresses and attaches it to a story.”
    • “Pretty good, like Vampire Survivor, it has similar gameplay and collecting money to unlock passive abilities, but this game offers extra customization and unlockables like weapons and mech stats, plus it includes a story mode, which is usually absent in this kind of game.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    78% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 22% negative mentions

    Users consistently praise the game's graphics for being impressive, visually stunning, and smooth in performance, contributing to an engaging and exciting gameplay experience. Some suggest improvements like reducing water and fire textures for low graphics settings. Overall, the visuals complement the game's mechanics and controls effectively.

    • “The graphics and visual effects are amazing and the performance is butter smooth.”
    • “It's fun, the graphics are great, frame rates consistent (13900k/4090 PC), and it's not bogged down with overwhelming mech controls.”
    • “Great graphics and quick controls.”
    • “If possible, I hope the water and fire textures can be further reduced for low graphics settings.”
    • “Decent story, graphics, and mech design, but I can't comment much on voice acting since they speak Korean and I haven't watched or played the game in Korean that much.”

  • grinding

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game incorporates grinding as a core part of progression, with dedicated modes for resource farming and extra post-story content. While some players find the grinding enjoyable and rewarding, others are frustrated by nerfed abilities and the inability to carry over meta upgrades from older versions, leading to mixed feelings about the grind's impact on gameplay.

    • “Recently it nerfed abilities and asked you to begin grinding; I was so angry that I decided to give it a negative review.”
    • “This made farming meta upgrades from older versions not carried over to the latest versions because you cannot receive rewards when playing the latest version using older version save files.”
    • “There are also already 2 modes: arcade mode for grinding resources and campaign.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is lacking, causing poor performance even on medium settings despite impressive graphics and visual effects. Some weapons also feel less effective, impacting overall combat experience.

    • “The graphics and visual effects are amazing and the performance is butter smooth.”
    • “Optimization is a bit lacking; even at medium settings, my PC runs very poorly.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers high replayability due to the variety of mechs available and the ability to customize their stats, encouraging players to experiment with different builds and playstyles.

    • “Extremely replayable with different mechs to use and the ability to customize their stats.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users highlight that the game evokes a strong sense of empowerment and excitement, enhanced by smooth combat mechanics and exceptional sound design.
