Reviews

“Quality of animations in this game is surprisingly high while level design is also brilliant. Levels full of details and always brings surprises, which makes people feel the great efforts of development team. Excellent story and adequate contents provides players an charming experience as the protagonist of robot anime.”
8.8/10 – IGN JP

“Levels full of changes, coupled with rapid storyline, the playing time is very pleasant. Diverse side missions are also fun: stealth, special rescue, fixed-point defense... Besides, pilots can jump out of mecha to explore and interact. Mecha could be equipped by collecting additional weapons in the hidden areas. As a mecha game, it has a solid quality.”
33/40 – Famitsu
