Great game
In it's current iteration 1.0.3 (the game needed and still needs multiple hotfix patches first week of release) the game has many game breaking bugs. My personal reason for giving one star review is because of how the bugs have effected my gaming experience. The difficulty setting I'm playing on is hard, which lazily adds +4 to the all the base rolls of the enemies (saves, AC, attacks). That essentially makes at least all the early game battles based largely on luck, which means a ton of reloading and min/maxing. The default experience option is to share XP across all playable characters, so that they are all at the same level when joining or leaving the party, which is fine in itself. There is also an option for only currently active party members to receive experience, which is what I want, as it reminds me of Baldur's Gate and the ability to have smaller but stronger party play carried by their levels. At some point, I don't know if it was due to a patch or just getting to a certain point in the game, but my xp that I had was all normalized across my party members nullifying all the work I put in to the game. This was a huge blow to me considering the luck based difficulty I'm playing. This game needs a lot of polish; it was released too early and should still be in early access. TLDR: Game stole my solo xp and distributed to party members I don't use.
The story awful, but there are cool robots, so who needs a compelling story? I'd rate the game higher if it weren't for the long loading times and the frequent bugs. Minor graphical bugs can be ignored, but there's also a bug where you can lose an entire Mech you've gather parts for if you rely on the autosave feature to be even a little useful. The good new is that the bugs and optimization can probably be improved with future patches. The story wills till be god awful though.
