RIG Riot

I have not gotten through all of the content currently available but besides some bugs (like the VTOL boss clipping into a wall instantly) I have had a lot of fun with the game so far. It is going for a mix between AC6 and AC4A which I think is a good base line for a mech game like this. My main real issues really stem from finding it kinda odd mod slots need scrap per part as you are constantly gaining new ones, meaning there is no point investing into anything because you MIGHT get something way better just doing raids. I honestly feel like they should just be per slot rather than stuck to parts themselves. I do not quite understand how movement completely works yet, turbo boost and dash boosts specifically feel like there is something deeper I am missing. I think its a rather inspired choice to make the assault boost more like an actual mode switch rather than the odd sprint it was in AC6, its actually usable in combat. The tutorial mentioned turbo turning which I thought was this game's version of turn boosting which I was pretty sad to see that my favorite actual feature from AC4A isnt here, along with second staging (mechanic for sickos if it was in the game Id be surprised) and chain boosting in general. I did play a little bit at direct launch and I am glad he changed the gamemodes to actual difficulty options because I thought mission mode was the main mode for a bit. Overall its a very fun feeling game, I do wish there was a multiplayer component for pvp as I think it would be quite fun with how stuff like melee isnt garbage despite moving at mach 20 most of the time.

I played a bunch of the demo and loved it. In the very small time I’ve have to play it (father of a newborn) it’s been excellent. Games wastes none of your time and is great for both super short and long sessions. Feels like the perfect blend of AC4A and AC6. I haven’t played enough to comment on the difficulty but it sounds like the dev will have it improved (more difficult mode) in no time. That said, game is very friendly to all skill levels which I think is insanely important and I good approach to balancing and on-boarding. Too many indie titles aimed at niche audiences forget that new players need an in and often run themselves out of players too fast. This game hopefully won’t ever have that issue. I never ran into a single bug in the beta nor the full game as of the short time I’ve played it. Steam deck performance is 40-60 fps without resolution downscaling. Would love a true potato settings mode but it still feels totally fine on the deck. Main rig (hehe pun) runs the game flawlessly. Sage, you’re a legend for this game. Can’t thank you enough for making something so much fun. Looking forward to seeing wherever the game goes.

This game together with Granvir form the perfect duo of Old and New armored core mechanics in Roguelite format. The only thing i could ask for is modding and more content in general besides that it is perfect and both developers are passionate people with alot of care visibly put into their projects. Please consider offering a bundle option.

it's peak

fun

scratches that ac itch nicely.

i am the invincible locust god, and i rain death from above plays like a dream- perfect child of AC6 and AC4A got a few bugs, but nothing has rendered the game significantly worse for me- huge ups
