Gundam x Vampire Survivor x Megaman x Metabots x Custom Robo x The Matrix

Best way I can explain it.

9/10
(-1 Point for too much pixelation dev needs to add an option for removing that.)

Please note that it's a completely subjective review of the game, and maybe I just don't understand some parts of the game. It's a pretty good game for it's price, but if we exclude price from consideration and think just about "fun", then it's not fun enough for me (even though I still play it occasionally to kill some time). There are a lot of good things in the game, but I'll focus on the bad parts.

1. Progression: You struggle in first floor until you oneshot everything. You get oneshot at floor 2. You struggle until you oneshot everything. You get oneshot at floor 3. I'm currently at floor 3, and it's kinda frustrating. And bosses are much weaker than hordes of Arms that appear on floors. Also, the fact that you don't even get a proper Arms at game start is so wrong in my opinion.
2. It feels like the devs are overcomplicating things in parts they should not. We can't even aim and lock on enemy Arms properly until we get the corresponding Apps. And there are too many Apps that should not even exist and should be just a part of ordinary gameplay from the very start.
3. Controls looks so complicated that devs even added 2 "default" presets for ranged and melee weapons, but I'm pretty sure you could make controls more simple without sacrificing anything.
4. Some weapons have pretty strange hitboxes that you miss a lot of enemies (until you start exploding everything with Apps lol). And the fact that you hurt yourself with your own ranged weapons is just weird. Maybe there's an App that disables self-harm, but I didn't find it among like 100 other Apps.... I'm only playing melee as a result.
5. Most mechanics get nullified with Apps. Why even add them in first place? Energy? Just regenerate energy from everything. Parts and weapons having separate life bars? Just regenerate life. Overheat/stun? Just stop getting overheat and stun (there are apps that increase damage while overheating and stuff, but it doesn't feel useful at my current stage at least for something like making an overheat build). This game doesn't feel "mecha" enough in the first place, and after some progression it loses everything "mecha" about it other than how your Arm looks.
6. Having the same hotkey for picking up Apps and rice balls as for moving to the next area is so annoying. I've traveled to the next area when trying to pick up an App at least 10 times already. Please make 2 separate hotkeys - one for picking up stuff and other for moving to the next area.
7. Arms with beam installed in their head part are annoying as hell. At floor 3 at least 3-4 of them spawn at the same time and just start stunlocking you. I think I could negate stunlock with some Apps, but it's a bad design in general, especially for a "slice through hordes of enemies like in musou" style game.
8. UI and sound/music are pretty bad. UI needs LOTS of QoL. Sounds like leveling up or weapon elemental effects are too annoying (especially because weapon effects are so loud and music is almost non-existent during fights). The most annoying thing so far is when you analyze Apps or do a OS tuning, you get spammed by annoying loud sounds (and the animation for it is too long).
9. I feel like adding special attacks when you have the same weapon type equipped in both arms is a mistake. From my personal experience, there's little sense to equip anything other than 2 of the same weapons at once. It's kinda fun at start, but it becomes way too repetitive. Maybe there are special attacks and combos when you have different weapons equipped, but it's way different from EVERY attack being a joint attack with both weapons.
10. It's so weird that the game starts microfreezing and stuttering at floor 3 even on my 4080 Super. I guess I should turn raytracing off, but it's just a bad design for a "retro style game". Ideally players shouldn't even think about these things and just play the game and have fun.
11. I'm a Front Mission and Armored Core fan, so not having shoulder weapon types is kinda weird for me :D You can get an Arm that holds 4 weapons, but you can only equip 4 "arm" weapon types and switch them.
12. There are a lot of things the game doesn't tell you about at all, like mechanics and stuff. It would be ok if it was much more simple, but, as I said, it's overcomplicated in a lot of things.

I got recommended this by someone I watch.
I started playing it yesterday.
You can tell I like it. Since I noticed I played for 22 hours.

But yeah it scratches that dynasty warriors itch.
Where it is using weapons to kill thousands of enemies.

Each time you kill an enemy you get credits which is an ongoing meta-progression currency.
You use it to analyse mech parts from other mechs you destroy.
See a part you like. Attach it to your mech.
Like a perk you want. Add analyse it to learn about it and take it back and apply it to your character in subsequential runs.

You don't actually have to analyse anything at all. But doing so means you can cater or disable certain chips for runs. So you can cater towards a build you want.

My first couple of runs were just kill enemies to get more parts. Then slowly investing in my characters stats to wear more perks so I can kill and regenerate more health faster. Once you get past the gate known as Stage 3. You can pretty much rush through the game fully. (Though if you beat the game you unlock the harder difficulty afterwards which adds even more enemies and gives you more resources.)

Note: If you are struggling with shooting a gun. Remember auto-lock early on is garbage.
Certain guns such like the machine gun weapon are the only viable.
Using Richochet skills makes it so you can harm yourself too. I avoid it.
