A brand-new, fast-paced mech action game
from Kenichiro Tsukuda is coming to
Nintendo Switch. If you're asking yourself
who is Kenichiro Tsukuda, he is quite well
known for his work developing the Armored Core
series. He and his talented team have developed
this brand-new title with the goal of making it
"the best mech action game" out there. Switch
players will their Arsenal, a fully customizable
powered suit, out for an array of missions to
surmount the enemy at all costs. You can choose
and equip your Arsenal with a multitude of
weapons, obtain more from downed enemy
Arsenals, and swap them on the fly to suit your
strategy in the face of ever-changing threats.
The games character designs were created by
Yusuke Kozaki, who also worked on the Fire
Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates
games. Mech concept designs were created by
Mr. Kawamori, who also worked on the Armored
Core series and the Super Dimension Fortress
Macross series. The player’s avatar is also fully
customizable with a variety of options. Each
Ars enal can be equipped with different weapons
on its arms and shoulders.
The player can also equip back-up weapons
on its back and swap them out during battle, on
the fly. Arsenals can battle freely in the air and on
the ground. In addition, players can grab objects
in the environment, like cars and street signs, and
use them as melee weapons or projectiles. As
mentioned before defeated enemies may drop
ammo and weapons, which the player can obtain
and use on the fly.
Impressively, online and local wireless
multiplayer modes will also be available in the
full game. Switch players will thankfully be able
to get their hands on Daemon x Machina this
year.
