Beetle mech action adventure with stylish art and fun movement and combat system. Little rough some times, but fun. More short reviews for hidden gems at my curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44819215-Lesser-Known-Hidden-Gems/

wonderful game, almost the platonic ideal of a mecha game Art, Writing, and characters are really nice would've been better with voice acting three things I always look for in a mecha game are being able to get out of the mecha and move around as the pilot to get a sense of the actual size of things, being able to upgrade, customize, and personalize the mech, and gameplay that leans into the genre instead of just being a FPS game or something with a robot. The floaty bug wind sumo wrestling style of combat here is tricky but very enjoyable and flying around and collecting resources is fun and comfy

If anyone is selling the art book for this game I'm willing to give up my liver

This game has a lot of bugs. The good bugs: - The artstyle is very cute, simple yet giving everything character - The rig handles very intuitively most of the time, both traversal and combat are fun and don't get boring over the course of the game - The plot is uncomplicated and not too long (took me about 8 hours to finish the story getting all upgrades and cosmetic parts and exploring all locations), it isn't overloading you with lore about the world, but it is engaging and it does a good job of guiding you from location to location - There's just enough resource management to motivate you to explore the maps in their entirety, but not to the point of having to grind for anything - The soundtrack is great, adds a lot to the immersion The bad bugs: - The maps have quite a lot of holes that weren't supposed to be there, especially at the edges. It a game all about exploring every corner this starts to get rather annoying, especially because sometimes the rig fails to "die" and respawn when falling into a hole, forcing you to return to camp - Sometimes the camera gets in the way of the traversal, obscuring the view with bits of scenery - Occasionally there's some jank in the movement, causing you to momentarily get stuck in terrain (it's fairly easy to get moving again, but still) - On Linux/Steam Deck video segments in upgrade descriprions do not load, and on Proton versions 6 and up hovering the cursor over an upgrade descriprion can cause the game to freeze up (fixed by switching to Proton 5.10-6) Overall it's a great concept with very decent execution, definitely worth your time.

While I would recommend this game overall, I can't say that it has no issues. The dialog moves at one speed, with no option to change it. The story doesn't make sense in several spots. Every once in a while, you or an enemy will get stuck. Sometimes objects will obstruct your view of the playing field. The game does not adequately communicate to the player which surfaces can be stood on. Please don't misunderstand, though. I did enjoy my time in the world of this game. The combat is pretty fun, with very nice twists on the usual formulas. Gathering materials and upgrading your rig takes long enough to be satisfying, but short enough not to be a chore. Alphas provide a fun challenge, and the ability to gather large amounts of resources, but in a chaotic environment. The world is quite lovely to explore. Again, overall, I would recommend picking this game up, but perhaps wait for a sale.

Great very original game with fun gameplay
