From Eurogamer: "That's down, in part, to its heritage, and its leanings; this is at heart a spiritual successor to FromSoft's beloved Armored Core series that's been missing in action for so long, with series producer Kenichiro Tsukuda onboard. Indeed, it comes so close to that formula that it feels like a direct follow-up to 2008's Armored Core: For Answer, injected with some lysergic colour to help give it an identity of its own."
Starting today, Daemon X Machina is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until February 3 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday digital game sale for Nintendo Switch gamers, offering up to 75% off on various digital first-party and third-party titles for Switch right now, including Daemon X Machina, Monster Hunter Rise, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and a lot more!"
Marvelous Entertainment hosted a livestream to celebrate the second anniversary of Daemon X Machina, and there is hope for a sequel.
I would be down for that. They sabotaged the sales optional of the first came due to lack of advertising and attacking the few people online that tried to plug the game. Because of that I never saw a sequel in the cards.
While there have been many mecha games that came out in the past year, none have really been able to scratch the giant customizable robot itch like DxM can. Its not as good as Armored Core but it does do a decent job of filling in Armored Cores absence. I like the things this game brings but they really need to work on their content. After the story was over there were a handful of online missions that could be cleared in 3-4 days. The randomly generated dungeon was a nice idea but it should have been really expanded on more.
