Keyboard and Mouse controls are lacking, the mouse control to aim the conical lock on is pretty much busted. So I'd advise using a controller to play, it's much better.

The game feels like an arcade game, something you play through in one sitting. And that's perfectly fine, I had fun. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, but it does attempt to have emotional weight to it's more serious scenes. Though it quickly goes back to the light hearted banter between the characters. The story's pacing is lightning fast, but it still manages to work for the most part, it's just trying to read the story while everything's happening is a little tough on your 1st playthrough.

Still, I appreciate the effort to include a story in the first place. Everyone's voice acted, and there's a few cutscenes near the start and end of the game to open and close out the story.

Gameplay wise, basically it's a shoot em up except you're in a mech that has a sword in addition to bullet spam. You can slash the crap out of anything, and dash into enemies without worrying about touch damage. And you have a special attack that either functions as a projectile shield or can be used for a special attack where the mech lunges at enemies using an omnislash.

It'll take a bit to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes really natural to control. The game runs great too, very smooth 60 fps.
