This game is super good, its worth mentioning its made by Level 5 (dark cloud/professor layton) and I've sadly seen almost no one talk about it. The combat is fun and arcadey, there's all sorts of loot, and customizing your mech is fun. It also has a surprisingly in depth story and rpg elements like an explorable city full of npcs, and a crapload of fully animated cutscenes.

I'm liking it a lot so far and it seems to have had almost no marketing push for it.

Played this for quite a bit yesterday, and it's a very, very strange formula. I like so much of what they did but I can't look past one thing.

This game is EASY. Like, insanely easy. I played for a long time hoping it would get harder, and it didn't. It's simply one of the easiest games I've ever played in my life.

But in addition to that, it has some of the most expansive and complicated systems I've ever seen. Which makes it seem like it isn't, in fact, for children. So I don't really know who it's for, even if the VN elements, story, and mech customization are decent to good.

Let me just reassure you that it does get hard, it just takes a really long while. I'd say until practically the end of the first major arc/first game's content. There's just an overwhelmingly ridiculous amount of content so the easy tutorializing part is way the gently caress too long.

Yea I've seen some late game video and it definitely looks like poo poo ramps up in the late game. Which is nice cuz as you mentioned there's an absolute fuckton of systems and customization options available to tinker with.

I'm really enjoying the game too, the mix of VN and fast paced brawler combat combined with mech tinkering is definitely unique. I dig that you can just take a break from the VN elements at any time and hop into some fast paced action.

It's a weird but good game that deserved to have some sort of marketing budget.

I'm pumped to play front mission 2 after all these years and the port seems good so far but it has some misspellings/typos that are kinda jarring. Like "career" is spelled "carrer" in the loving network menu, so that's one you'll see often, and I've noticed several other spelling errors in my first ~45 mins of playing...which on its own is not a huge issue but makes me concerned for which other aspects of the game may be a bit sloppy.
