nothing the game pulled made me care about the characters, unfortunately. i do like the worldbuilding and other little tidbits scattered here and there, but just a massive faceplant on getting me to care about anyone past their visual design.

that aside, i did like the gameplay. i do think it's fairly fun on that front. fast-paced and hectic encounters just about every mission. unfortunately, there's not a lot of variety in terms of encounter, they all amount to some level of gun down something, even if at times said things are a bit bigger. didn't get to dip my toes in co-op personally but i can see it being some amount of fun, especially since it's a different pool of missions than the "main story" ones

i think it's a decent package as a whole, worth a look at least if you like mech games. unfortunately it doesn't come close to other offerings like older armored core or mechwarrior titles, but i think it's decent on its own!
