![]() ![]() Here's my take on DxM: it's strictly okay (Granted, you'd be playing without patch/balancing data, some very noticeable texture bugs, and zero access to online content.) If you've got a decent rig, even the PS3/360 games are finally getting to the point where they're stable and playable on emulation. The PSP ports can even run pretty well on most phones. Hell, emulation is how 90% of the community plays the PS1/PS2/PSP games these days. If you don't have any old consoles (PS1, PS2, PS3/360, or PSP/Vita/PSTV), then emulation is always an option. If it doesn't really scratch that itch, then AC is still there, honestly. But if you're looking for something with the sheer depth and complexity that AC has, then you'll probably not stick with DxM for very long.Īlso, I hope you have a stomach for over-the-top edgy anime cringe, because DxM has it in spades. Hell, you might enjoy it more, since you don't have AC experience to compare it to. If you're looking for a fun romp'n'stomp with big robots, and don't really care much for the game having a whole lot of depth, then DxM will probably be a good time. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since ZoE is fantastic in its own right (never played Breaker myself), but it's not quite the same experience. Honestly, in my opinion, the game plays much closer to Zone of Enders and/or Gundam Breaker, than Armored Core. Flight is on a toggle and infinite, and physics aren't really all that important in the game. The customization doesn't have much direct impact beyond choosing weapons and picking between having more armor or being faster. But, on the other hand, it doesn't demand as much from the player to 'git gud'. ![]() It's just vastly more simple and 'shallow' compared to AC. If anything, it's a sort of "Armored Core Lite". Free missions are worthwhile doing as they will enable you to net more money to spend and potentially gain new weapons by defeating Arsenals.DxM isn't really that close to AC, all things considered, past having giant robots. You get the base equipment you need by scavenging fallen enemies.Īpart from Offer Missions which serve as the main story missions of Daemon X Machina there are plenty of other missions you may want to consider taking on in the Free Missions category. In order to do so however requires money and a specific weapon or piece of armour to serve as a base. If you go to the console in the main Hanger and select 'Factory' followed by 'Develop Equipment' you will be able to develop higher-level weapons. When an ability is on cooldown it will be grey. Use your Femto abilities whenever possible, the best way to handle this system is to ensure you are collecting as much Femto as possible to keep your abilities powered up, then cycling through them as you need them. These are increased damage output, ability to take damage, or your thruster speed. Pushing up or down on the D-pad activates three different Femto systems for your Arsenal. Femto crystals can also in certain areas of the map that enable you to absorb Femto from if you stand near them. When you destroy enemies they will drop Femto which you can pick up by flying through it. In Daemon X Machina Femto is a powerful particle that gives your Arsenal special abilities. To scavenge a fallen enemy you just need to walk up to it and press A, then pick what you want. Downed enemy Arsenals appear on your map as a red triangle icon with an exclamation point. Make sure you search every single enemy that you shoot down in Daemon X Machina as each can give you a valuable new weapon or piece of armour. To reload you need to press and hold down the A key and then the fire button of the desired weapon. If you are not involved in a firefight and are completely motionless you can give the Mech a custom command to reload the weapons so they are full of bullets for your next encounter. Therefore when you see that your weapon is running low you need to make sure you find some cover for when the reload process begins. It is important that you keep an eye on your bullets during a mission because although your Arsenal will automatically reload a new clip when you run out of bullets the process takes some time, during which you will not be able to fire at your enemies. Along with holding weapons in your arms, you can also store some in your Pylons which can be used in the mission if you need to change them on the go or if you do run out of ammo. It is therefore advised before you begin a mission you ensure you have other weapons with you. Some of the missions in Daemon X Machina can take a while to complete and running out of ammo for your main weapon can becomes a concern.
