Reminder: Try Daemon X Machina For Free With Nintendo Switch Online Game Trials

I own this, but i couldn't get into it. It is one of those games where i think if i give it a few hours, i could really start to like it. Should maybe give it another go.

I tried before release and it was awful. Life is too short for second chances.

I have this as I managed to get it cheaply on Ebay but still haven't played it...
I enjoyed the demo quite abit, and am hoping it's a hidden jem..

It’s a great game to play if you’re struggling to sleep at night………tedious beyond belief.

What happened to that game two years later?

I enjoyed the gameplay, it was alright for what it was, but goodness me the characters don't half waffle on far too much. I know it is anime inspired but if you ditch the twoddle, they actually would have had a better game overall. Less is more in this case. They would have been better served by having a more Arcade story and set up, fleshed out with the combat and customisation, instead of trying to create something meaningful and falling flat as a result. It is worth trying though, it doesn't half make you wish for an Armoured core, mechwarrior or even ace combat game on Switch though (Ace combat has the same story problems, but slightly less waffling about insignificance).

I might give it another go, as I like a good mech game. I tried the original demo and wasn't very enamoured, but I remember they claimed to have made a lot of changes based on feedback from the demo so it's probably worth giving it a second chance.

@abdias They’ve released a number of major patches since then, so I’d argue you’re missing out - but I loved it for what it’s worth!

Really good game IMO, very simple but not necessary a bad thing

This will be the first trial I try. The game looked interesting but not enough to buy it. Maybe the trial will do exactly what Nintendo is hoping and I'll wind up forking over money for the game.

Will give it a go. Glad I didn't blow £40 on it 2 years ago based on the above comments though.

Does anyone know whether the game can be played in online multiplayer? Probably will only get this if I can play with my mates

@ZeldinionI think it does have online multiplayer. Gonna have to download it again next week to check hehehe.

The demo was good, but it wasn't spectacular. I'll download it again and try to beat it on a week hahaha.

feels like it's been a long time since they've done one of these

I have already and it's pretty good. After playing a certain game it makes me want to play it again.

Solid game with an underrated story. Not gonna be for everyone, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Had it. Played plenty of it. Liked it. Could not get any friend to try it with me, killing longterm interest.

@TimGibsonPBS ok man, thanks for offer, will do

I really wanted to get into this but haven't touched it since the first demo. I have no doubt it's better, but it just wasn't my cup o' tea it seems. Maybe I'll try again with the trial...

I have the split pad pro themed after this game just because it was the first one available. Awesome joy-conn replacement for hand held mode. The only reason I know the game exists is because of the controller. Personally, I don’t think I’d be interested in the game.

@TimGibsonPBS So the campaign is playable? Nice. Thanks

Honestly I can't remember if I have played the demo of this or not 😂

@smithyo that’s 90 percent of my backlog….

@TimGibsonPBS Oh okay, that's good enough for just the week of playing it

@abdias
I agree. As well; life is too short to be taken seriously.

This is one game I wanted to like since in theory, it is just right up my alley, then again I play the demo and walked away scratching my head.

If only it was less whatever they wanted to achieved and more Z.O.E.

It's been discounted by 50% in the UK eshop, but £24.99 still seems like too much to me.

Got a physical copy very cheap on sale. It's not a great game, but not bad either. Try it and see if you like it.

I’ve been meaning to revisit this. I played that very first demo and got turned off by that. I assume lots has changed since then (I know it supposedly has) and I really want to play a mech game, especially one where I can get out of the mech.
I’m probably going to buy this shortly after I beat Metroid Dread. I say that now, we’ll see.

@smithyo Let us know if you ever do give it a real shot.

Own it and I've put about 12-15 hours into it and will be going back to it...Switched to something else because some levels are frustratingly difficult. The Mech upgrade system is annoying complicated too, and I could do without the story...Nut there's a lot to like, it does play well and there's a lot of level variety.

Isn't it 50% off on the UK and EU workshop? I was thinking of downloading it despite not really getting into the previous demo. Really wanted to like it but didn't click at the time. Still unsure....

@abdias Which demo did you try though?

I keep meaning to get this. maybe they should reduce the price to help me.

@ancientlii last week.

Should have added some sort of Europe only in the update since you made it sound so certain it would happen in America too...and it didn't.

Is this europe only?

Damn. Wrong nation.

DM was a overhyped game

It's just an okay game, not really one I would pay for but the free play here is okay.

Found the trial to be really fun. It's very slow at the start and seems boring, but after a couple of hours it really picks up. Definitely gonna pick this one up.
