Daemon X machina vs Armored core 6?

[Gearwar]

Anyone played this? I am not trying to start up some riot, I am genuinly asking how it compares. I loved Armored core 6 and just finished the whole campaign. Im in the mood for aother mech game, how does it hold up?

DxM is nice for a single playthrough, but interacting with its post-game gear progression or online features is likely to leave an even worse aftertaste than AC6's PvP.

if you have a Nintendo Switch, it has a demo available.

DxM is extremely mid

Both are good.
AC6 is more of a classic experience, while DXM is more modern, despite being older game.
If you like mecha, you want both.

DxM > AC6

in all but graphics

DxM is way blander and easier than AC6 so it's up to you.

AC6's mission design leaves a lot to be desired at times, but DxM's is consistently bland and uninteresting for me. I sunk some time into DxM, but wasn't able to get all the way through before the slog of 'go into an area and shoot at guys' got to me. The other characters talking are also really irritating in DxM, and I liked the cast of AC6 a lot more, even if some of them weren't given enough attention in the story.

DxM's lack of variety in parts is what turned me down in the end.

DYK Former Armored Core/ Fromsoftware Devs made Daemon X Machina, there are literal armored core easter eggs and references in DxM

Played Daemon X Machina on the Switch, planning to buy it on STEAM since it incorporates cross-saves (Damn, Epic Game Store gave DxM for free)

The turn down of DxM is basically its singleplayer story, especially if you're mostly an offline player than online. It literally has no sense of direction and the characters were forgettable. I redid the story 4 times trying to understand the plot, but in the end I relied on a reddit post to explain the story

On the other hand, the customization (in terms of design) is quite inadequate than Armored Core 6 but Mech Customization is all the same. I do LOVE its Online Features such as co-op and exploration missions. (PvP is hard on the Switch xP)

I love AC6 and DxM respectively, since they both capture the essence of "Mecha" and cant wait for the upcoming Daemon X Machina 2 Titanic Scion which I HOPEFULLY believe the Devs learned from their mistakes with the previous title

Edit: I would also like to add Daemon X Machina's amazing Cel Shading aesthetic, and running on Unreal Engine makes it look beautiful

Though the Switch version of DxM is locked to 30 FPS, the PC version however allows you to reach 200+ FPS !!

In my humble opinion DxM felt a bit floaty, whereas AC6 had some weight to it. Also, the terrible anime writing in DxM could be really insufferable at times. It was fun though. Worth a try, especially if it's on sale.

I feel just the opposite. AC6 feels floaty to me. I felt like I was in full control in DxM.

I enjoyed it a lot. Don't go in expecting good writing or acting though. Still I had enough fun with it to do a second playthrough pretty quickly. Plays pretty similar except you can be quite the flyer if you want to though I still ended up playing a ground pounder. Grab some double melee (GIMME MY DOUBLE BONK AC6) and have some fun. Really weirds me out how little head selection matters in AC6 after toying with heads in DxM. I do find it funny the games both pretty much have Coral though.

I really liked my high storage clone build, being able to summon a doppleganger that can and will use not just guns/melee but also healing weapons is wonderful for build diversity. Can do a lot more as far as interesting builds in it compared to AC6 though you won't have the interesting Leg mechanics. Movement is just good at flying, or good on the ground. Boost or passive. Does have dedicated full arm weapons though which are typically busted but can't weapon swap and have some strict ammo requirements.

Parts are also both destroyable and replaceable mid mission. Gun arm out of ammo? It'd be a shame if it I replaced it with your arm instead! Then I'll take your sword and get chopping! Swapping weapons, legs, even your torso and head mid mission is pretty cool. Can also hop out of the mech and tink the last hitpoints off a boss that killed you with a side arm and grenades which I have done.

like comparing an arcade game from two generation ago to latest and greatest the genre has ever seen yet.

Latest... yes, greatest? No. funilly enough the greatest were from generations ago on the same franchise.

Discounting MechWarrrior 4 Mercenaries though since that's more of a simulator game.

[Entelechia]

agree to disagree.
