>>718655759 (OP)
That sounds fucking awesome, where can I see this? is there a demo I remember the last game had one

>>718655759 (OP)
Nothing wrong with exos sice DxM doesn't want to lean into Mech Sim in the slightest. Arsenals I the last game could have been power armor and it wouldn't have changed anything. I'm more concerned about them making the game into open world slop.

Anyone played the first game? Is it good?

>>718655968
It's decent. Good world building, alright combat. Visuals are subpar, characters are one dimensional but have a lot of anime energy. The game has not-char with Char's original voice in Japanese. Worst problem for me was that it's really grindy if you want specific end game gear.

>>718655968
It's painfully average. The setting is pretty cool but it's wasted on the story and characters. Gameplay is fun but i didn't like the flight mechanics of just hovering in place instead of using thrust and momentum to move in the air like armored core.

>>718655759 (OP)
They’re not mechs.

>>718655759 (OP)
if you think about it master chief is basically a mech and in halo 4 he can drive a mech. we need a game with another layer of mech driving mechs

>>718655968
i tried
it was boring

>>718655759 (OP)
>Try to make mech game
>It sucks
>Try something else
Seems logical to me

>>718655968
It sucks

I played a bit of the first one since it was on the humble bundle last month and now this demo.
I don't really understand the hype.

If anything they were in the wrong making the first game an insanely dull mecha game. They should've always just done power armor. It works out better for what they're doing.

>>718656672
The entire marketing of the first game relied on Armored Core not having a new game for over a decade and being a switch exclusive. take those two points away and you get nothing.

luv Toby

>>718656672
Its doing the same thing as the first one:
A game on a switch system when there werent a lot coming out.

Kind of like a ubisoft game near launch of a new gen. "Its something to play" is its hype

>find a chestpiece that gives the wings ability
>suddenly fucking zooming

Shit gets way better once you have it

>>718655759 (OP)
Retarded. There are actual good reasons to scale down, like having intricate environments to explore but they kept them looking just as barren as every mech game. The game is going to flop, they should have just requested the ZOE license from konami.

>>718657131
Also, it was a mech game in an industry with none of them, with some a-tier artists behind it, which is also gone. This game has absolutely no selling point.

>>718655968
It's shit

>>718655759 (OP)
>Doesn't iterate on anything from the first game

Matryoshka mechs!!!
My dream has come true.
Now make the pilot full body cyborg and it's going to be teh BEST GAME EVER!

>>718661128
You basically are a full blown cyborg your stuck in the power armor 5 min after the game starts.

>>718655759 (OP)
>play demo
>endless fucking exposition done in the worst possible way
>get to first bit of combat
>see this
yeah nah

Who funded this? DxM1 wasn't that successful, was it?
This game also looks like ass. Nothing original to see here, and not a high quality version of what it's copying either.

>>718661981
Who else is doing power armor games since Anthem?

>>718655759 (OP)
isn't this just iron man? these aren't mechs lets be real here

>>718662340
Huh bro? your not suppose to point that out

>>718662340
Not true their mechs that go into bigger mechs

>>718662507
>Not true their mechs that go into bigger mechs
So the hulk buster

>>718662340
They are just mechs. They even have the mech slide.

>Bitches saying power armor isn't /m/echa
>Bitches don't know about Machine Robo
Modern 4chan was a mistake

>>718662592
Hulk buster is a mech by any real standards.

>>718662593
>They even have the mech slide.
so does Iron man whats your point? just admit the truth already even I have eyes and can see these aren't mechs unless your gonna say Iron man is one

>>718662668
>>Bitches saying power armor isn't /m/echa

Kino

does Iron man count as power suit/mecha? I'm still new to the genre so I can't follow what you guys are arguing about

>>718662868
>Take your goddamn meds
>didn't refute my orginal point
I'll take that as win thank you very much

>>718662674
>Hulk buster is a mech by any real standards.
I never realized that the heavy arms is pretty much a hulk buster for this game

>>718662076
Exoprimal, but that's a multiplayer game.

>>718662986
It's power armor. It's always been adjacent to mecha stuff because all the early mecha titles took a bunch of inspiration from starship troopers, and mixed it with giant japanese robots. That's basically what gundam was.
>>718663275
Unfortunately dead because of its weird game design that no one really knew what to make of. I think some people wanted power armor hero shooter, and some wanted dinosaur moba (?) and they just crammed it all together. Probably would've done great during reddit's epic bacon ninja robots era.

>>718661793
>endless fucking exposition done in the worst possible way
i see the worst part of the first game makes a return

>Daemon X Machina needs to be its own thing instead of aping Armored Core!
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT

>>718658119
Are they random? I found one with the barrier ability.

>>718663724
and now its unintentionally aping AC6, after that game changed its formula

>>718663880
They're copying AC4?

>>718662340
Honestly...yeah, it kinda is Iron Man. Especially with the flying.

>>718655968
It’s a watered-down Armored Core, but any fun you might have is constantly railroaded by its dogshit forgettable characters and incoherent anime tropes ‘plot’. It’s fucking trash and the sequel looks even more cringe DESU.

yeah, you need to power through the intro, is pretty bad

I'm actually intrigued, seems like a pretty decent game to pirate

>>718655968
I liked it

>>718663724
>>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
Hey man Iron man was popular in 2008 gotta appeal to those guys

>>718664458
at least the cutscenes aren't 9 hours long like certain other franchise I know

>>718663801
It looks like every chest has the ability to roll for it or you can get a crafting recipe that requires you to use a chest you already have to upgrade it. There are three abilities total. Barrier, autocannons, and wings.

Wings are like a 25% speedboost for all movement at the cost of slowly draining some extra femto

how badly mutated can you get your character in the demo? all i managed was the glowy eyes and some marks on the skin.

Post arsenals

>>718666068
You barely mutate at all since the fusions are all low level and you need to upgrade your lab for more slots.

So how's the demo? Only thing people have been talking about in here is the first game.

>>718667739
It's pretty fun after the intro. It's surprisingly long for a demo.

Post toons, I want to see the character customization.

>refuses to wear a full suit
>just wears a thong over her pants instead

sorry, already uninstalled. only have a screenshot of petting the dog.

I'm enjoying it, feels better than the first but I wish it had a better sense of speed.

>warthogs sitting in the bottom of enemy bases to take on your way out
>bases are designed like a big ramp so when you exit the warthog just shoots out 30 feet in the air

Vehicles seem pointless but they are fun

>>718661793
armored slop 6 did irreparable damage to the mecha genre

>>718668082
You can only do customize faces, no body morphing. Maybe they'll let you borg up like the first game but I don't know about that.

>>718671034
You become a fucked up alien instead of a cyborg this time

>>718671602
Eh, not as cool.

>>718655759 (OP)
Is the melee combat good?

>customize character
>add a silly eye patch
>enter mech body thing
>it removes the fucking eye patch
:I

Some of the skills.

I tried to beat the demo boss when Nerve asked you to bail, but the controls feels very jank for some reason. Keep getting hit because I keep mixing up dodging and floating

>>718673070
>White Glint spin is a skill now
Kinda sad but it looks way better.

>>718673070
So far this is looking a lot more appealing than the first's. Pretty sure blink dashing was the only one that really did anything and you got it really late.

This game reminds me a lot of Xenoblade X. Anyone else?

>>718673723
Yeah I got that feeling too once you touch down on the planet.

>>718673070
I wish you tied skills to individual weapons instead of it being tied to the weapon type. Like knife having two skills but you have to pick one and you can't dual wield them to get both.

>>718673828
Only a couple of those are tied to specific weapons. Any weapon can use helmet splitter or throw arms.

Is this game kusoge (affectionate) or just shit? I really couldn’t tell from the small section I played

>>718673649
Blink is in this game. I found another menu with more of the skills.

>>718673818
So it's not just me. Honestly the game also looks like it could be a WiiU title.

>>718675018
Here's a better video with more skills.
https://files.catbox.moe/1dcfig.mp4

>>718664458
The intro is short as fuck, I don't know how anyone is getting filtered by it

>>718677856
NTA but the giga clunky "boss fight" against the Centurion almost filtered me. I tried saving Nerve and the Centurion would just fly up and get half-stuck in the ceiling and I'd stick to him with melee and the camera would get squished between the two of us. I got him down to sub 50% HP (Hard mode) before I just gave up and ran away as instructed. Glad I stuck with it though, it gets a lot better once you're on the ground.

I like the grab mechanic. It feels good stunning an enemy then grabbing them and finishing with a melee attack. Kind of reminds of pinning enemies in Dragons Dogma 2.

>>718655759 (OP)
if they just improve melee combos a bit and maybe look at endgame, tunnels where.... fine? they just needed player made maps and challenges they where already modular.

Shielded/Assault/Flight boost modes or whatever they where called was fun to swap and play around with in combat so i hope they keep or iterate on that mechanic

>>718680907
>Shielded/Assault/Flight boost modes or whatever they where called was fun to swap and play around with in combat so i hope they keep or iterate on that mechanic
They are in the game but they are randomly attached to torso parts.

>car goes over a pebble or a slight incline on one side
>flies 15 metres into the air doing flips the whole way
Is the planet zero-g? And worse is, they're keen to land on their roof, which you can't flip them back over from.

Does the demo have multiplayer?

>>718685235
Yes, cross-platform too

>>718655759 (OP)
Yeah. It's kind of awesome. I get power suits -and- mechs!
Also the movement is improved from the first game.

>>718673828
Fully agreed. It's dumb restrictive when there's clearly enough animations and logic for dual-wielded variants. Let me run double knife with split triggers and both skills mapped, what's the issue? They already let you dual with fists and guns just fine. Also, weapon-type skill pools feel like a holdover from some mobile game design crap. Just let the player kitbash their build like in AC or ZoE. Give me chaos.

The save file carries on to the full game right?
Or else I won't bother spending an hour to defeat the centurion in the tutorial.

>>718686904
It does. Do you get something from it? I gave up whittling it and moved on.

>>718670845
You have demonstrated the difference.
But why is AC6's turn speed a bad thing?

>>718688481
Turn speed not being a stat ruined pvp.

>>718662765
>but won't admit Iron man is one too
He is. But it's dumb to bring him up as if he is the only example or whatever.

>>718685350
Only PvP I presume? How does it work?

>>718673070
I wish these werent tied to hte mutations things, I dont want to physically fuck up my character to do cool stuff

>>718655968
It is ok if you are fine with it being the easiest game ever made. I don't think I died a single time playing it. Well, one time (1) I did run out of ammo trying to kill some schmucks and there was no ammo around or something, so I had to restart the level. If that counts as "dying".
Also the weapon variety felt disappointing. Iirc most of them were some flavor of assault rifle

>>718691668
Same, i'll likely end up never using any of those cool things.

>>718662765
Iron man is technically /m/ but capeshit is gay therefore Iron Man is gay /m/.

Does that work?

>>718690797
What anime is that?

>>718656460
yeah, if you think about it a paraplegic in a wheelchair is actually a mech

>>718692401
im hopin some will just come without it, or at the very least an option to not have visual mutations
i doubt itll impact the narrative any since the robot stuff didnt in the first one

>>718655968
Very mediocre. Play Armored Core 6 instead if you haven't already.

>endless exposition dump
>jank everywhere, models don't load in time for scenes to begin

Guys I'm thinking this game isn't very good

>>718655968
There's a demo, I don't know why this still needs to be asked. I thought it was good overall but I like fast speedy mechs and not grounded realistic ones.

>endless exposition dump

Looks like tekkaman.

>>718686904
I’ve seen multiple people say that the boss just becomes invincible once it reaches a certain health threshold.

>>718655759 (OP)
Power armors is still /m/. The problem is that all of the armors look same-ish so far.

Conceptually intriguing but super janky and the combat doesn't feel good at all
Also the story hook is like the most banal stuff ever
At least the music's banging I guess?

Holy shit you can play as a Silksong fan in this game

>>718655759 (OP)
I finally tried the demo and the gay power armor really saddned me. I'm just not going to bother

>>718699416
You get mechs too.

Why does the combat and movement feel so much worse, I don't get it
What have they been doing this whole time

>>718701597
>Why does the combat and movement feel so much worse
But it's been hugely improved? It's a lot snappier and both jump and flight in particular has been much improved.

>>718696410
Wait fuck. Really? So I've spent 90 minutes trying to kill the boss for nothing?

>>718699416
>>718704179
I'll wait for a steep sale. I bought the first at launch and I don't care for iron man suits either

So does this game still have co-op only in some boring enemy bases and bossfights, or is there some campaign co-op?

why is it theres like one or two people in the steam discussions awarding the clown thing to any post remotely positive about this game
if it were multiple rewards thatd be one thing but its always one so its gotta be a small amount of people doing it

>>718706692
I was given a clown for saying it doesn't run well on the steam deck

I played the first game and hated it so I will pass on the second one. The first game did have decent music but nothing else about the game was great.

>>718706692
You thought 4chan schizos were a 4chan exclusive phenomenon?

Come the fuck on

I'm looking forward to it
I hope theres more outfits that arent dlc, and that I can actually do piece by piece for the dlc skins instead of all at once

Borderlands-ass cars

is there something im missing with the cars because they can barely turn for me

>>718713029
Naw. Like the OP said and myself included, the cars really turn and run like Halo cars.

>>718714380
They also look like Halo cars kek.

I'm hoping/assuming we'll be able to remove the NPC party members at some point in the full game, that's my main annoyance right now.

>>718655759 (OP)
>We wanted to go more realistic
And dropped, first game was alright but between the change in artstyle and shrinking down to exosuits instead of mechs kills it for me

>>718706692
I don't get why people want to be so negative about these games. I want to play more which is high enough praise.

>>718717350
>I want to play more
You sound like the kind of person amused by Elmo's Number Adventure then. Go play that instead.

>>718717350
Because it's not Armored Core and we're TRIBALS!!

I really would've prefered if they just improved the on-foot gameplay from the first game instead of removing both it and mechs entirely.
Having the game built around It would've made exploring a lot more fun too, since the world map could be made absolutely gigantic for mech traversal, with smaller points of interest that you could explore out of the mech.

>>718720308
Nigga there's still an HP system and it's only the demo. No way there aren't gonna be "don't get fucked up" missions without your powersuit

>>718717717

>>718655759 (OP)
...okay? What's the bad thing?

>>718720308
>instead of removing both it and mechs entirely.
But mechs aren't removed.

>>718720969
Why do people keep assuming they're gone?

>>718721316
Gut reactions get reactions

>>718720969
>>718721316
Aren't they more just a temporary power up? I'm not sure how the mechanics work.

>>718720969
>>718721316
can you customize them past just the coloring and decals

How does it run on switch 2

>>718720424
It isn't the same. The difference in scale between the mech and pilot allows for varied and interesting level design as well as shaking up the gameplay; you just don't get that by having the suit the same size as the pilot.

>>718720969
>>718721316
Mechs are functionally removed as they serve no purpose other than being a fancy power up.

>>718722613
>The difference in scale between the mech and pilot allows for varied and interesting level design as well as shaking up the gameplay
They are clearly not interested in making on foot gameplay unique or interesting
Nobody is, honestly. Don't know why it's such unexplored territory

>>718722772
Not sure why either. Closest we ever got was Left Alive and it was garbage.

>>718723017
Evolved had on-foot missions too but it was also garbage.
Pretty sure one of the earlier Gundam games lets you get out of an MS and steal one

>>718722613
>>718722772
There's a bunch of mech games with onfoot gameplay and literally all of them would be improved by reducing the amount of time onfoot. Who buys a mech game just to walk around shooting grunts as a normal guy for significant amounts of playtime?

It's fine as the barest element, five seconds and then you're in, but it'll always wind up becoming entire levels on foot playing a boring shooter instead.

LMAAAAAAAAAO MY BRAIN IS SO COOKED. I READ "SCION' AS "SLIKSOON'

>>718724937
>shooting grunts as a normal guy
This is the extent of imagination that the average (((gamedev))) has
They literally cannot imagine anything other than mech gameplay but without the mech

$70 base price with an announced "expansion pack" dlc is a bit much

>>718721573
It looks like shit and runs at 30fps. I played on Switch 2 then downloaded it on my PC with an RX6800 and it ran at 160fps @1080p and was on ultra. Night and day difference. If you have at least an RX6600 I would get it on PC without question. I love my Switch 2 but I think I'll get Hollow Knight Silksong for that and DxM2 for PC. Just not a great port, though I will say for being an open world massive game with a lot going on its pretty insane the Switch 2 runs it as well as it does. Don't bother if you have a PC.

>>718726737
How would you do on foot segments then?

>>718727601
NTA but pattern it after the idea on Blaster Master. You have stuff you can only do on foot like indoor segments. Depending on what kind of enemies you're fighting, you can scale the threat down and have man sized enemies. They can't all be giants.

>>718727278
Does performance tank later in the demo or something? Or is it just the framerates? Because I genuinely don't give a shit about framerates provided they're not consistently inconsistent.
I've got a pretty strong PC, but it's not uncommon for me to turn down the framerates so that I can play games without the fans speeding up.

>>718728198
Performance tanks in certain fights yes, it will tank when a Gunfort rolls up on you. It has hiccups. If 20fps doesn't bother you then by all means but I wouldn't touch a Switch 2 port unless it was 60fps personally. Thats the entire point of the console its supposed to run stuff better. There will be many games even 3rd party that run fine but this is not one of them

I actually like Forge and Toby which is already a massive step up from the first game

>>718729382
God I can't wait to unlock Hex's outfit

Why does this feel worse to play than Dolls Nest?

Femboy x Mechaman?

>>718655968
It was very bad. I pirated it, played for like 30 minutes and uninstalled. The way the mechs handle is atrocious. Might as well be a 3rd person action game instead of a mech game and there's be 0 difference.

>>718730481
What makes it feel worse to play than Dolls Nest?

>>718730481
Because Doll's Nest was an actual mech game, not a 3rd person action game with a mecha coat of paint.

>>718730674
>Might as well be a 3rd person action game instead of a mech game
A mech can be a 3rd person action game where you fly and have lockon missiles. Zone of the enders is a mech game.

>>718729382
i like the default MC, Nova, i feel like a younger guy works much better for a Mecha protagonist than the adult man that the first game had

>>718730993
The murder hobo attitude coming from the feMC is extremely erotic

>>718731053
I made mine a brown tomboy for that reason.

>>718731123
Based and same except pale

>>718730824
I haven't played it so I can't say you're wrong, but there are some very basic game mechanics that go hand-in-hand with mech games and Daemon X Machina didn't have it. There was 0 weight to anything you did. Even though Armored Core turned into zippy shit, you still could feel the weight behind the boosts or when you stopped boosting.

>>718655759 (OP)
Game reminds me of Xenoblade X a bit, I wasn't interested at first but now I'm considering getting this

>>718729382
sex with hex

>>718732089
It even has bootleg Elma

>>718727278
the only other thing I have is a steam deck...

>>718655968
It's one of those "repeat the same mission hundred times to get the best weapon drop" type of game.

so will the game have multiple outfits outside of the dlc ones? will the arsenal skins be all one piece like the first game or can i pick and choose the parts?

>>718729382
1 was carried hard by Savior shitting on women and worshipping MC.

>>718735394
outfits i dont know, but you can already mix and match arsenal parts in the demo, or pick an entire suit if you feel lazy.
but it does override the look everywhere ven in the shop so if you unlock new shit and you want to know how it looks before you buy you have to undo your selected look.
unless i am stupid and overlooked a function in the shop.

>Shields actually work and even have a parry
>Melee weapons are quick and have combos
This feels nice, I like this more than the first game.

>>718735624
>if you duel wield shield and lance you can block while attacking
>dual knuckles gives you a special combo
>maces do more damage the heavier you are

There's gonna be interesting build potential especially when there seems to be specific augments that do things like reduce how long it takes knuckles to charge.

>>718736254
>>dual knuckles gives you a special combo
I described this to a friend once but imagine this. Go full xenomorph, hide all the armor, dual wield knuckles. Now you're basically tearing shit up with your bare hands and you can make it look like you don't even need your arsenal anymore.

Fellow OuterCHADS, we will never, ever touch an inferior h*m*n, right?

>woah be careful, this 1% sprint speed will alter your whole body!
>all that happens is that my character gets tribal tattoos all over his body
Yet the literal laser eyes I got didn't change anything.

>>718737784
I think it's tied more to how much you do and not specific mutations? Like the eye mutation will always happen first and then the tribal tattoos.

>>718737784
Same with the original, Tier-1 was just glowing eyes. Then came the body horror.

>>718739348
I want to see if only going for passive skills staves off the mutations since I don't care for the active skills

>>718737327
honestly betraying Outerkind makes sense just from looking at the girls on the human side, no Centurion stuff needed.

I'm coping that it's deamon x machina demo all over again where its some early shit build which the release addressed. Doubt it though. I like it for what it is, though it has its glaring problems. Multiplayer for one is buggy as fuck, desyncs like crazy.

Also fuck who ever made the beacons set outside of our boundary of play, you can get some new armor sets from them if your lucky with the beacons repair mapping in the area and the drops being good.

Any other bosses or is it just Rebellion and Gunfort for now?

>isn't this just iron man?
Yes. Anyone still calling these mechs probably hasn't actually played the game.

>a 3rd person action game with a mecha coat of paint
That's literally what dolls nest was.

>>718731957
Some mechs are light and fast. It's still a mech.

He did the same thing to me. And the first enemy did it as well. I think they fucked up something with the intro AI.

>>718727601
Maneuvering through smaller areas or climbing shit, salvage and engineering, maybe stealth if the game calls for it
In a game like DxM where you're kicked into it after getting your shit broken, it should be based around building defenses and traps while you get repairs done
Could be potential for a cyberpunk-esque hacking system, if direct action is really necessary
There is simply no reason for man and machine to have to operate on the same paradigm

Didn't the game say you can pay to undo the visual changes?

Open world meme means no level design.

These always sound better as separate games. A game where you play half the time as hackerman and half the time as steel warrior just means the audience has to spend at least half the time doing shit they don't want to. You also have to split your efforts in development. One always winds up weaker.

It's got the same appeal as hulk games forcing you to play stealth segments as bruce banner.

How do you unlock the card game?

>>718743616
You pay to remove the skills you cant remove the cosmetics but keep the skills.

Gundam starteed in teh 70's. Voerhaven made Starship Troopers in the 90's.

Don't be retarded.

>The difference in scale between the mech and pilot allows for varied and interesting level design as well as shaking up the gameplay;
Hypothetically. In practice, in the first game the size difference between pilot and mech was much more of a source of awkwardness and jank than anything interesting.

Cool chars

The horses are ridable, and I get vehicles? Damn i might actually get this then.

>>718655968
It couldn’t even win people over when people were on maximum dehydration of mech games and especially trying to be an Armored core replacement. I can’t think of a reason to play it nowadays

>>718692916
EXACTLY!

>>718693762
I mistakenly thought the game was cooler than it was because when you wake up form the accidental halo Halo jump, all of my guys limbs were gone. I thought I was a dead man walking stuck inside a broken down suit of armor to live, but no, no damage.

>>718729382
That cast seems really weak compared to the first game.

>>718733445
Damn, guess I need to use a different hairstyle.

>>718707149
It's a crap shoot if it will work or not. If the game doesn't crash and you can make it to the menu, set it to 60fps and it actually does hold 60fps.

Rock on, Billy

A bit on the nose but alright.

They're types because you unlock more later. Those are just the defaults.

Mech in a mech what the fuck? The horse has better handling than the awful warthog clone.

Just got to the end of the demo. The movement is funky and floaty which isn't great but man does it need a bigger fov. The really close angle sucks when everything moves fast and off screen and then the lockon is kinda shit especially with missile lockon fucking zooming in every time. Its disorienting.

They're really leaning into the "daemon" title this time around. Getting to the gene menu and the open world started to give me Xenoblade vibes. Hitting the city could have used some Sawano though. Some of the battle music slaps. The intro story beat is B-tier at best, feels like it could have been more compelling.

I'm leaning towards buying it just so I can get peoples corpses on the ground to show up for free resources. Its filling that niche of mecha/monsterhunter now that Nightreign is basically done done. I miss the mech though.

>>718747543
just like real life!

>>718747568
>Sawano
Just play any of his other soundtracks and you'll get the same experience

>>718744008
>Voerhaven made Starship Troopers in the 90's.
Except Starship Troopers was *written* by Heinlein in the 50's. The shitty movie parody (that failed to actually be a parody) Verhoeven made is not the inspiration when people talk about being inspired by Starship Troopers, except for Helldivers 2.

>>718743957
I found this the most retarded. The game literally uses gendered language calling you he or she. Fucking retarded devs doing the bare minimum to satisfy the troons. Makes it feel like a throw a away pandering wonder why they did it in the first place.

Is the card game even available in the demo? I found some cards and got the tutorial popup about it but I'm not sure if there's enough around the fort for a full deck, and I haven't seen any NPCs I could talk to about it.

>>718723017
>>718723882

>>718749062
Im pretty sure I found every card lying around and bought all the ones from shops and it never unlocked anything so you probably have to wait for a quest.

I pray to Allah the pirated version allows the steam demo save data to be continued.

>>718655759 (OP)
It’s called power armour you philistine and it is absolutely /m/
Besides there are full size mechs in there too

>>718750225
Gun Hazard is one of my fav SNES games

>>718729382
Oh, yeah- definitely siding with the red and black team if there's a choice.
