All Articles: Daemon X Machina
Daemon X Machina is coming to the PC (via Steam) next week
Originally published by Nintendo as a Switch-exclusive in 2019, XSEED Games and Marvelous Entertainment have announced that Daemon X Machina will be making its way to the PC (via Steam) on February 13. If you missed the mech shooter the first time around, a new trailer has been embedded above, and here’s a brief tease at what you can expect from the game:
Daemon X Machina puts players in the cockpit in a fight for the future of humanity. Taking the role of an Outer, a new breed of human that emerged following a global catastrophe, players will suit up and pilot their fully customizable mechs, called Arsenals, on the front line of a desperate war for survival against corrupted AIs known as “Immortals.” Team up with fellow mercenaries in the Orbital organization to turn the tide, but be careful – mercenaries always have their price, and today’s allies can become tomorrow’s enemies.
Daemon X Machina’s PC debut will contain several new features, including “visual upgrades” and new “customization options.” And if you’d rather not use a PC controller to play, the game will also include support for keyboard and mouse controls. XSEED also said that Daemon X Machina will include all content updates from the Switch version (except for some licensed DLC).
Players who pre-order Daemon X Machina before launch will receive a 20% discount and access to bonus weaponry and outfits in the Prototype Arsenal Set and the Metallic Equipment Set.
Gamescom 2018 Trailer for Daemon X Machina offers an expanded look at the action game
The Gamescom 2018 Trailer for Nintendo’s Daemon X Machina is very similar to the one we first saw during the E3 Expo, but the heavily-stylized mech game still looks great, and any excuse to spy a few extra seconds of footage is definitely worth a rewatch.
Daemon X Machina is currently in development at Marvelous Entertainment and First Studio, and will be released exclusively for the Switch in 2019.
Daemon X Machina is a heavily stylized mech game for the Switch from the producer of the Armored Core franchise
It’s easy to say that the weekend’s pre-E3 festivities didn’t feature too many surprises.
But that was before Daemon X Machina arrived during Nintendo’s E3 2018 Direct. This spiritual successor to the Armored Core franchise literally came out of nowhere and blew my mind.
Marvelous Entertainment is developing the game with Kenichiro Tsukuda, a Producer best known for his work with the Armored Core franchise. At first, I thought Suda 51 might have been involved with Daemon X Machina, due to its fast and visceral hardcore assault on the senses… and with BIG GIANT ROBOTS fighting EVEN BIGGER GIANT ROBOTS along to some thrash metal.
Nintendo might have spent most of their E3 2018 Direct presentation talking up Super Smash Bros Ultimate, but Daemon X Machina certainly opened it with a bang!
Daemon X Machina will be released for the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
