I'm currently playing this game and about 10 hours into it (level 20+) . Yes, not having an online multiplayer option will probably be an issue after you complete the story. But, I'm really enjoying it so far. The story is the same as the anime, so if you've already watched it, expect nothing new. The main focus of the game is customizing your LBX. There are various weapons, armor and core parts (like cpu, memory, motor, battery, etc.) to choose from. Weapons have attributes (cut, pierce and smash) and elemental effects (fire, water, electric and light) and armors determine the resistance to these attributes and elements. Battles are quite fast (probably 5-10 minutes tops) and not that hard as long as you have the right set of weapons and armors. You also gain proficiency on the weapon types you are using in combat and level them up to acquire special moves. Armor parts also level up when you use them, increasing your defense and LP. The battles and the environment can be repetitive after quite some time and new parts only come after progressing through the story. What I really don't like is the Gashapon machine. It's not a random chance to get parts, but follow a certain scheme/pattern (if you think you can get lucky and draw a weapon worth 10k credits for just 1k then you're totally mistaken!). Overall the game is enjoyable as a single player game and having an online multiplayer could have been a plus. I'll just wait and see if the game is sill worth playing after completing the main story.

I'm loving the Gacha mahine now that I know how to work around it. Got my Epsilon UC <TG> set and it looks awesome!
