Battle Suit Aces

在剧情和卡牌系统上都是绝对的好评 恐同者慎入！！！

This is the best mecha game you’ve never played, and it’s a visual novel/deckbuilder hybrid with some rpg elements. If that sounds weird, it’s in the best ways possible. The plot follows a crew of mech pilots trying to uncover history of a fallen alien race in order to defeat a new (actually long lost) threat of energy draining monsters called the Frenzied. The game thrives on strong characters, branching narratives, and a straightforward but highly customizable combat system. Over the course of the game you can see different aspects of the world and story by choosing which characters personal quests to pursue and what factions to help (and receive help from in return). This game has at least 3 endings and many sections where the order you complete missions in changes the way the narrative flows, and who you recruit and follow impacts what inter-character conversations you end up seeing between missions. If you are at all interested in games with a strong ensemble cast, with varied relationships between each other, any kind of mecha or space opera stories, or games where your choices change the narrative in some pretty significant ways, I highly recommend this game. It also is a great game for people who are new to videogames (and deckbuilders or story-focused games in particular) as it has a very clear tutorial and plenty of options for changing your strategy/equipped characters in between missions (or if you are defeated on a mission). TLDR: It’s a fantastic game that is worth giving a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Great game, easy and quick, but a lot of items to manage to make the cards in your deck your own.

great deckbuilding game combined with a good scifi visual noval. It is nice to have a mix of both here and the game is fully voice acted. Could not ask for more in this kind of game.

I got this game bc I was drawn by the visuals, but oh my god I'm so surprised on how hooked this game got me. The combat is so addicting and I truly just can't get enough. And also every character is like hot and gay so thats a major plus. The only downside for me personally is that I am insanely indecisive so everytime I had to make a choice (faction bounties, crew missions) I freeze up and has to log off the game for a fee hours

If you liked Battle Chef Brigade or deck builders this is gonna go down great. I was actually hesitant to pick this up because of yet-another-deckbuilder, but it's actually a really interesting take on it. Plus mecha! The style and characters are similar in quality and personality to Battle Chef Brigade, which is an absolute classic. The battles are tense but fair so far, really nails the feeling of facing an overwhelming enemy but then coming out on top. All in all highly recommended!

Dang what a hidden little gem, I picked it up on sale, the story wasn't super long but I really got into it. The deckbuilding and combat is very fun and the mods can really give you some options. You can't unlock everything in a playthrough so maybe pick and choose what you want to focus on.

A fun Visual Novel homage to morning cartoons with some fun card-battling mechanics that has a fun and optimistic sci-fi vibe akin to Becky Chambers' novels. The VN part is as standard as they come. It's fully voiced, which is a mixed bag in itself, but most of the performances are good. The art stands out, as it did for these guys' last game, and adds a huge serving of charm to the overall package. Some very endearing characters (Belmont is my guy) and mostly consistently fun and good writing. There are some head-shake-inducing moments where the cast are making some pretty dumb decisions that are more or less fine depending on your buy-in with the style of cartoon it is paying homage to. The card-battling is fun and nicely ramps up the complications and possible combinations as the game goes along. It's not terribly difficult bar some spikes here and there - mostly the boss battles - so more experienced card game players probably want to play on hard (I played on normal). All in all, it's a charming, pretty relaxing game to trot through. There's some potential replayability, depending on how much content you want to complete - as there are a few divergent choices and different crew member missions that I don't believe you can complete all within a single play-through.
