Listen, I was a long time Vanillaware ride-or-die fan, but even I couldnt have anticipated the narrative hydrogen bomb they were cooking up in their basement. They pulled what I could only call a “trope blitz” to craft one of the most confusing (compliment) multithreaded narratives Ive ever seen in video games - and while this came at the expense of the actual gameplay, the inoffensive RTS systems are fun enough to toy around with that I didnt mind much.

I would have maybe appreciated a format where you actually get to see the mechs tho; the very distant, sterile treatment makes combat feel very alienated from the rest of the game. Vanillawares usual cheeky depiction of women gets a lil weird here as well when most of the cast is underage (not the best look)
