To begin with, keep in mind that I just Have 1h30 playtime, this is NOT what you can call a "real" review but I've just got to let it out. I've seen some messed up thing since I began playing video games : mutilation, evisceration, cremation and so on... but I really wasn't ready. At first, the game seemed nice, art is good and colorful, VAs are talented, sound design is nice, characters seem well built and the world building makes you want to know more. And then there was THAT scene. As I said, I've seen things that hardened me to the point where visual gore don't leave much of an effect to me but this game goes way beyond that. Images can shock you even if you've ever seen some weird H-scene but with the sound, the actress ( I don't want to know what happened at the studio this day ^^) and those descriptions so clinically detailed, this was truly a disturbing experience. And it doesn't stop quickly but I won't spoil much further. So why 5 stars if I was this disgusted? Because despite of the disgust and a little nausea, I just WANT to know more, I want to see what the characters can do in this world, what bonds they create and how far they go. Now, you're warned (but problably still not ready :D). If you like what seems to be a well written and dark story with intesrestiond characters, you can get it without a second thought. Just remember not to eat while playing. You're welcome.
Well, that was a nice journey. This game has solid art, a killer soundtrack and the cast is stylish as hell. There is 2 phases: in the first, you wander around town, speak to people, take quests and do small time time jobs the cash necessary to repair and upgrade your mech. The other is a turn based mech duel with various attacks, defenses and special moves that charges according to the battle stance you choose. I won't say too much about the story butsimply know that you follow a crew of misfits that heritates a mech from an ancient friend and decides to become number 1, mostly for money. Add anthropomorphic animals, a mysterious bartender and an announcer who beats the 4th wall to a pulp and you get the essentials. You can count between 15 to 20 hours to beat it. Long story short : good game, get it.
