This game's pretty neat. I actually love the controls and it manages to convey the sense of weight and power a mech should have without feeling too clunky like armored core and gundam versus. Unfortunately the controls and the feeling of punching the monsters are really the only good parts of the game. You have to spend an obnoxious amount of time running around the city on foot while experiencing the fairly generic story. The voice acting is hilarious for a while but loses its appeal a few hours in and I just started skipping the cutscenes entirely. 15 episodes in and the enemies are all almost entirely fought the same way. Also while it is cool to view the robot battle from the human's perspective, it often just ended up requiring a lot of tedious camera management. I'd love to see this game's atmosphere and combat brought back in a new mech game that's more competent in the other aspects.
