The mecha genre is getting a boost later this year when Daemon X Machina hits stores. The game is promising a return to a genre we don’t get to see a whole lot of anymore, wth big robots pummelling each other. Today we get a look at a new element to the game’s combat. It won’t just be guns and robotic fists- we’ve got some special elemental damage attacks as well.
We’ve seen decent amount of the regular combat already. Adding a little depth it, some weapons can do elemental damage. It’s fairly standard stuff, such as electricity temporarily paralyzing some enemies, with fire giving a burn effect that will give damage continuously over time. It should add a new layer to the game’s combat, though, as you’ll have figure out when and how to best use them. You can check out the video highlighting it below.
Daemon X Machina will release just in time for the Switch Lite revision release on September 13th. To get an idea of the game’s design and style, check out heap of art of the game’s various mechs and pilots.
