Just finished the demo and I am hyped for more! The game so far feels promising and mostly fluid with opportunities for different builds. The aesthetics are on point, the music is vibey and I'm hoping to get a bit more story out of it. The gameplay is very souls-like with familiar movesets and a sprinkle of Sekiro's moblility.

The addition of frame pieces to manage along with your armor is very straightforward and with a good drop it feels like good progression. Being able to freely move your stats allows you to switch builds on the fly if you find an item or weapon that piques your interest. The map is very intertwined with branching paths that loop back onto the main one and shortcuts that feel reminiscent of Dark Souls.

My gripes so far are mostly bugs and some jank but I can't fault that too much as it is still a bit early.

I am going to continue testing a few more builds and will update as more content is released!

Absolutely fun! I love the aesthetics of the game and the gameplay is solid. While there is a bit of jank, it adds to the charm and will most likely be patched out later on. The only criticism I have so far is that the days feel a little too short, but otherwise I don't have any major gripes. I will definitely be recommending this game to my friends and others!

My favorite Armored Core! From the music, to the combat and customization, this game has quickly become one of my favorites.
