    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment over the limited selection of tracks, featuring only snippets rather than full songs from the Macross series. However, fans of the franchise find the nostalgic familiarity of the music to be a highlight, enhancing their overall experience and providing a pleasant backdrop during gameplay. While it may not match the extensive soundtrack of previous titles, the music still offers a charming and enjoyable element for players.

    • “However, when I played this game and listened to those familiar songs from the Macross series, that feeling was very nostalgic and marvelous. I guess it was my personality of being a fan of Macross that made me feel like that.”
    • “Slightly above average because the music, as expected, is awesome! It's a good way to pass the time when you want to take a break from your more serious or competitive games.”
    • “Like playing with detailed series planes, official music in the middle of the stages (you have to unlock them), image collection, planes 3D models with transformations at will, beautiful space backgrounds, and character voices all the time.”
    • “It fails on a lot of things; I personally don't like that it doesn't have full songs and features only snippets from each series.”
    • “- For a Macross game, there's barely any of the music tracks. So far it looks like 1 or 2 per series. Macross 30th on PS3 had hundreds of tracks, including concert footage and interviews. That game was near perfect except for being locked at 30fps due to PS3.”
    • “The music selection is disappointing, as it only includes short snippets instead of full tracks, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Macross Digital Mission VF-X" has received mixed feedback, with some users noting an uncomfortable point of view that appears infrequently. Additionally, there is a desire for the game stages to better reflect the actual plots of the series.

    • “My only complaint is there is one particular point of view that is uncomfortable, but thankfully it's only used about three times and for very small parts of the mission.”
    • “Would have been nice to have each series stage resemble the actual plot of the stories.”
