Progressing through the missions and advancing into the higher letter grades will present some more powerful punches and longer-winded battles, so from Rank C onward may be a bit of a stretch for the casual player. Although the latter is a bit more lacking than I had hoped for, the bigger battles are some of the highlights of the game and the ones that will truly test your combat skills. There are some awesome encounters with the many enemy AI, and some of the better fights belong to the quicker mech-like enemies and the larger-than-life giant robots. It is easy enough to understand for casual players and complex enough to satisfy the seasoned veterans, and the unique approach to scavenging parts from fallen mechs adds even more intrigue and strategy to the gameplay. The conversations are happening constantly through combat, and it does make you wish that the majority of the dialog was subject to cut scenes and home base interactions.Īs far as the combat goes, though, this is some of the best in the mech genre. ![]() One of the problems of this set up, though, is that the action sequences are used to further the story, so paying attention to what the other mercenaries are saying while you are taking out enemy AI is a bit distracting.
