When Daemon X Machina was first unveiled at E3 last year I was instantly intrigued by it's fast paced giant mecha action. As of today, a limited time demo became available for download on the eShop and I just finished playing through the 4 sample missions offered so I thought I'd share my feeling about the game from the preview. Feel free to share your thoughts on the game as well, just keep in mind that the Prototype Missions demo is not representative of the final product and everything we talk about could completely change.
Pros - Lots of fun customization options for both the player avatar and the mechs. The controls need a little getting used to, but overall really simple.
Cons - Combat is really tricky, I found aiming while moving difficult especially with small fast moving targets. Enemies don't react to being damaged and as far as I can tell have no health bars making it hard to judge how much damage you're actually doing. On foot combat is embarrassingly ineffective compared to the mech and you should never use it.
