This wasn't for me; it wasn't to my taste, unfortunately. I got out of the tutorial to the mode select and put it down.
I liked a lot about it: controlling a person made the visual novel stuff "feel" better for me than a visual novel ever had before, like i had a bit more control and agency and such.
The combat was pretty neato but probably for my taste it would've gripped me more if it was less abstracted or if i could zoom in and see the mecha punching the dudes--I did like that missile spam though that looked great!
I'm not the world's biggest fan of the big boobs and the naked girls in the mecha and whatnot; it's hard for me to get past stuff like that.

Well, if you would have played 'til the end, you would have learned that there's a reason why the characters are naked in the mechs.
Ok! 🙂
the reason works but its not something thats super integral to the plot, them wearing clothes would have worked too
I totally feel you on those gripes, especially the "everybody has to be naked, it's a good reason tho!!" bit lol
But maaaaan, there is an wildly ambitious sci-fi story at the heart of it all, if you're willing to grit your teeth through it. Putting the pieces together in real time was mind shattering.
I hope this team gets another chance to make a game, because, like you said, I really liked the how much better the visual novel stuff felt because I could explore with the characters. There's something really cool there. I'm hoping that Loop8 ends up being like this.
