- I will probably start off every review about a game involving mechs the same way but what can I say? Mechs are objectively just… the dopest thing ever!
So when the Nintendo Switch was announced to get a mech game I was very excited! I played the demo, loved it and couldn’t wait for release. Than it released… and I kind a forgot about it… not just the game but my switch in general. Then it got a PC port which didn’t catch my attention either, heck even when Epic gave it away for free I still didn’t jump on it… until now! cus I am making my way through my Switch back log games and try to improve my collection of it… which still is a bit weak but leave it to Daemon x Machina to change that! Cus just like mechs, throw something big at your collection of games will make it instantly cooler! Or… does it? Welp lets find out what Daemon x Machina has in store for us!

Ahhhh the character creator. My first guy was normal, and then I made a bright green abomination I named “The Pickle Man”
@Artemie-np3qu haha I think The Pickle Man fitted better in the setting than the normal guy you created xD
@@GreiratEinzel Yep. Bald, bright green skin, aggressively orange mustache, and then the royal armor suit in bright green and orange. Fit right in with all the other whack-jobs XD
One of my favorite aspects of this game has always been fighting the giant bosses. Especially the ones that have giant swords because once you make them drop it, you can pick up the sword yourself to deliver a one time hit of massive damage towards them. It never gets old for me.
@SilverNightbane the giant boss battles where really cool! I didnt even know that was possible with that boss! O: guess I will need to boot up the game again to check it out.
@@GreiratEinzel Yeah, even the starting one with the giant sword works. Blow up the sword arm and then once you're close to the handle, a prompt will show you can use it once.
I just started playing daemon x machina and not only did i complete every mission it got me into mechs something I wasn't interested at first but I just loved the gameplay and wanted more games like it
0:32 I remember it :(
Though, truth be told, DxM _introduced_ me. Same goes for Armored Core, actually.
@deltaxeno7807 So there truly are still some people out there who know! who remember... :')
From what I understand the game's development was somewhat rushed. Originally the game was supposed to have multiple endings. There is also a sequel that has been rumored which could hopefully solve its issues.
@matt1324 The rush development would explain the lackluster story and its writing... hmmm a sequel would be cool thou might be hard to pull off considering the lack of success for Daemon x machina. Would be cool thou!
@@GreiratEinzel I found out later that the sequel has already been confirmed. It's called Damion X Machinia Titanic Scion.
@@matt1324🔥🔥🔥
i loved zone of the enders
@smackout I knew I was not alone :')
That game was sooooo good i still replay it to this day,it's really a shame alot of people don't know about this game.
@@mikeguilbert1318 I need to replay them again, not that I have a large following but getting a little bit more attention to it wouldnt hurt!
@@GreiratEinzel well you have one more 😉
I truly feel that the switch hardware limited this game. If the studio was given a serious console with a goof budget, the potential is scary.
One thing I want to praise most is the style DxM looks so dynamic and stylish. The colors never seem to degenerate even eith huge explosion going off all over.
This game is a gem, I go back and pve from time to time.
I guess on a different note, I really wish Outer (as a mechanic) was more fleshed out. Maybe in the sequel...
Loved it, good armored core at home. And loved zone of the Enders
@zacharydobbins6267 Havent dabbled in Armored core yet :/ but heck yes on the love for Zone of the Enders! :D
@@GreiratEinzel WHAT? you haven't? i'll be waiting the video about it, expecially after that intro.
Game looks cool. Too bad that there isn't a focus on the story. WIth that I think I will skip this one.
@Gwindios rip on the skip, thou very understandable xD
Cool game and it’s usually on sale so why not
@MaddixCuhming If its on a decent sale you will get your moneys worth for sure!
…20 mins and I don’t feel like I learned shit, but take my like anyway my dude.
So basically shitty armored core?
@lual8 Personally I find such a conclusion to shortchange both games as they have different core designs and there is more nuance to it in general. But I guess it is a conclusion one could make :/
mechs sure are very cool but this game was so weirdly boring .
like the terrain really just doesn't matter and you essentially do the same thing over and over again. and most of that is done for you automatically so you kinda just sit there and look at pretty explosions . just meh and really boring honestly .
and I feel like a lot of mech games suffer from that kind of issue.
level design is a huge part gameplay. if you can just ignore everything you are essentially just inside an empty box
@CuteAssTiger heavily depends on the gameplay itself if terrain should matter in my opinion. Daemon X Machina is design to be mostly done in the air and when fighting in cityscapes, ruins and bases the terrain usage does matter. While for boss battles it was great it where just large flate open fields. Im afraid at in all games essentially we do the same thing over and over again :/
the automatic element I can understand that to some it would feel boring. Its design is more focused on movement and timing than aiming. Its too bad that the chosen gameplay design didnt land for you :(
Its true that level design is a huge part of gameplay but level design gets more justice when its placed in a game that is more linair focused rather than arcadic like it is here. However I would not agree that Daemon x Machina landscapes are boring or to be ignored. It actually stands out at many moments as its one of the view connection you can make with the world/setting.
@@GreiratEinzel tbh in my experience the terrain was just irrelevant and the rest really trivial.
The terrain is nice to look at but just doesn't play a role in gameplay since you are way above it the entire time.
The only times you are down there is when you choose to be there. But that doesn't really amount to any real strategy so you just jump back up, boom the enemy's do whatever the mission is.
Gameplay elements only impact a game as far as they impact the game.
If the player can just ignore an aspect without any impact then it's basically the same as this aspect not existing to begin with.
It would be like having an ammo count in a game where every enemy drops 999 ammo . It just doesn't matter.
And that's essentially how the terrain works in demon x machina. It exists and does nothing besides that
