MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED

Developed and published by LEVEL5 Inc., MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED arrives as an ambitious fusion of action RPG mechanics, anime storytelling, and giant robot spectacle. Built upon the foundation of the original Megaton Musashi project, this expanded edition brings together previous content while introducing new story chapters and gameplay additions that significantly broaden the experience. The game throws players into a world where Earth has fallen under the control of an alien race, forcing the remnants of humanity to survive in secrecy while training young pilots to fight back using towering machines known as Rogues. It is a premise that wears its influences proudly, drawing from decades of mecha anime and presenting them with an infectious level of enthusiasm. What makes the game stand out is its commitment to narrative. Rather than using the story as a simple excuse for explosive battles, LEVEL5 invests considerable effort into developing its cast and world.

A hidden gem of a game for all mech lovers of the super robot kind. Just learned of the game late last year and was able to get it just now on sale. Only problem is the iffy english localization some of which uses... Weird modern audience language instead of english.

I wish there was a neutral option because when the game actually remembers that it's neither a visual novel or an anime and lets you play the gameplay is pretty good, not amazing, but still fun enough to want to continue engaging with. I should make it clear that I haven't watched a second of the show this game is based on nor do I particularly care about that side of things My issue is the game starts off with several minutes of anime scenes, not the worst thing, kinda cozy in its own way, then you get to play ONE tutorial fight that takes maybe 2-3 minutes at most, followed by (assuming you allow the voice acting to complete for each text box) approximately ONE AND A HALF ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HOURS OF VISUAL NOVEL SLOP INTERRUPTED BY THE OCCASIONAL ANIME SCENE BEFORE YOU GET TO PLAY THE GAME AGAIN. I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the town is fake, the donut planet, whatever the ♥♥♥♥ else they painstakingly shotgunned me in the face with for over an hour I just want to play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ robot game, this game straight up reverse Shinji'd me, all I wanted to do was get in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ robot and the game straight up forgot that was a thing for well over an hour.

Level 5 makes fun games

I can't believe that it took me so long to find this game. + The plot and design of Megaton Musashi W is a love letter to 70's, 80's, and 90's mecha anime. The Mazinger, Voltes V, and Getter Robo collabs aren't on accident. + The difficulty curve is as difficult as you want to make it. + A deep level of customization that is still accessible to beginners and casual players. The main points of customization are robot parts, motherboards, and pilot skills. + New game plus. - Level 5's marketing team needs to do a better job. This game should have been on everyone's radar.
