I'll let you know that it's kinda mid (if you lived through the PS2 era - you know these games), but it is kinda cool in a fairly unique Japanese RPG. It's also probably not 80+ hours like most modern RPGs, which helps for me - "mid, but interesting" works well for shorter media for me!
I'm pretty sure the Germans involvement may be a
"wow, cool German tank/robot" thing, but intentional or not - it's some tasty world building to me.
When two units meet on the tactics layer, there's a real time combat layer that involves managing distance (certain units excel at particular ranges) and weapon reload times. There's also infantry units that accompany your mechs - adding another layer to the mix.
If that all sounds cool - give it a shot!
Kinda mid but shorter is right up my alley. The combat sounds unique which is what really peaks my curiosity. I tend to play games long enough to get a good feel for their mechanics unless they have a great story that keeps pulling me along so I'll be on the hunt for a copy of this. Thanks for the recommend!
