I've run into almost zero bugs and the game runs ok on my pc, so I don't need to complain about performance. However, even at its best, the game has unbearbably slow cutscenes and animations. Add a completely linear story that tells you the ending before you even begin playing, and you have a recipe for stale gameplay. Did I mention the cookie-cutter token diversity cast? SJW pipedreams standing in the way of immersion. Once you get heavy mechs, mediums are obsolete, and you will probably never have a reason to use a light mech at all. Side missions are extremely repetitive, and there's no sense of exploration or much advancement outside of the main story. On the upside, the combat can be satisfying and it's fun to test out different weapon configurations on your mechs.

Played this a few years back. Had no idea what was going on or what I was supposed to be doing, but persevered. Eventually I sort of figured out the resource system, but by then I'd already wasted too much of the colour resource to continue. Oh well, back to the start. More than once. But I got hooked, some of the designs were beautiful, some scary as hell, others just well-rendered nudity lol. Tried to get some of my friends to play it but I don't think they got into it properly. Not for everyone, definitely not, but this is one of the most memorable games I've played. Some of the boss fights were really fun and challenging. And of course throwing paint at girls had its upside too. Enjoy!
