Gigantes Ex Machina

This game needs more attention. As far as top down roguelikes go, there is a lot to like about it. There's still a lot of work to do for balancing but certainly as far as polish and optionality goes, clearly one to watch. It's also one of the few roguelikes with an actual story but I hope there's more to come.

This is an incredible game. I have so much fun at every patch they are implement. Just the content it have now it's worth the price. I love the story. The challenges they add. It just such a good game worth of every hour you spend on it.

its fun and challenging, good mix of weapons and you have to combine it with your mobility.

Isometric Armored Core experience. 06-10-26; Post endless mode update. Good weapon and skill variety. Reasonable enemy type spread. Challenging enough at normal difficulty for a fun experience. I grinded a little arcade until I had level 5 upgrades and breezed through story and side missions on normal. Story is par. Neither unmissable, nor tedious. Suits the setting and gets you from one chapter to the next without lingering. The weapon balancing didn't feel great when I tried to mix it up, but I haven't spent enough time with them to offer much feedback. I just defaulted to assault rifle with magnum secondary and did well without ever having to change loadout. Definitely worth coming back to when more content is added. Enjoyable experience on a budget.

Edited review because recent updates. Will follow with a discussion page later. The game has undergone positive changes that allowed me to feel comfortable giving a recommendation of "try it." There is still room for improvements but many of the heavy issues were worked on. The behaviors of certain enemy spawns were insane before the update but the devs had listened and modified said enemy. There is little punishment for experimenting with primary weapons as there is a purchase and refund feature. If the devs are aiming to focus the balance more around the endless mode, it feels like a solid choice thus far. Ive noticed the devs are willing to unnerf a change, to listen to the feedback from the community. Game play wise it doesn't quiet scratch the rogue like genre with the ingame systems yet it has plenty of ways to manipulate before the run. Much like Soulstone Survivors and others, there are changes that can make outside of the run; here, the priority access or pre-equip strategies allows a start with favorite sub choices vs randomly obtaining the starting set. While there is a current lack of customization, the devs are fledging the weapons out and experimenting with the overa…

Fun game Few things that can be improved 1. upgrade spec, effect - I do not know if the upgrade chips are actually in effect. how does lv 1~5 upgrade works? I went straight into lv5 but unsure it does anything 2. upgrade ease of access - should separate this per each machina. also allow going bottom of list by pressing up at first selection By nature, this genre is bit repetitive, but I hope good storyline would make up for this. Game is still in early access and I like the concept so far.
