This combat is ♥♥♥♥. It's ridiculous, constant horde mode doesn't allow room for anything remotely strategic except for constant, never-ending evasion. The lock on mechanics are finicky and I rarely can even see what's locked on through all the constant barrage of attacks from everything. Plus, if an enemy dashes out of your view, and they all basically do, you lose the lock-on. Enemy AI is also more A than I in general.

The customization is the best thing here, but unfortunately you have to play the game to get there. Real talk, valiant effort and honestly would recommend if the enemies just moved slower, couldn't do anything that included a dash movement, and simply didn't have such egregious effects for every attack.

All that being said, Armored Core VI is coming out within the year now, and it's coming to Steam. I'mma try and refund this, save your money for AC:VI.
