Gaming Trend previously reviewed Daemon X Machina for its original release on Nintendo Switch, so I’ll try to avoid repetition here and speak mostly on the quality of this new PC port. As one of these mercs, you’ll pilot your own customizable mech to take on jobs, and maybe discover the secret behind the moonfall and the Immortals. The three consortiums, bound by a treaty from the neutral organization Orbital, employ mercenaries to defend their territory, gather resources, fight off the Immortal menace, and do other odd jobs. Meanwhile, a mysterious AI race called the Immortals has emerged to kill all humans and take over the world (or so it seems). The area of the moonfall has been quarantined from the rest of the world to stop Femto from spreading across the world, however three corporations remain in the Oval Link to mine the resource and export it. That’s not to say that Daemon X Machina doesn’t have anything to say - the game’s title invokes and inverts the popular Latin phrase “Deus ex machina,” or god from the machine - but the game certainly places more focus on the rad robots part of the genre than some of its contemporaries.ĭaemon X Machina takes place in a post apocalyptic future where a portion of the moon has crashed into earth, releasing a new yet deadly energy resource called Femto. ![]() Sometimes you just want big robots to fight each other in spectacular fashion without thinking about if you’re worthy of being loved or if humans are the real monsters. These cool robots can be used to explore powerful themes and ideas like in Evangelion, but sometimes you don’t want the robot to be a metaphor. The fantasy of flying around in a powerful yet graceful mech has appeared in media time and time again. I think we can all agree that giant robots are cool.
