It will, and I quote, "never be sold separately." The "Metallic Equipment Set," which contains 5 unique weapons and the Metallic Plugsuit outfit is only available as part of this early purchase freebie period. The "Prototype Arsenal Set" which contains a "Prototype Arsenal mech and Prototype Plugsuit outfit," will reportedly be available for purchase at a later date. Those that decide to pick up the game early or through the first month of being released will get some bonus freebies. It's being published by XSEED Games and developed by Marvelous Inc.
This discount goes down to 10% for the actual week of release. This offer obviously lasts until the game is released on February 13 at 10AM (PT). All pre-purchases include a 20% discount off of the regular price of $59.99 (USD). Pre-orders are already up for the game through Steam. There is also apparently a co-op mode in this game where up to four players team up to battle "Colossal Immortals" or explore randomly generated Immortal bases for "powerful rewards." These include 1v1 or 2v2 modes alongside competitive leaderboards. There are also some online modes if the single player isn't for you.
You can upgrade your mech's functionality or aesthetics by picking up new equipment and gear from your fallen enemies. The game features a number of missions throughout destroyed cities, deserts, massive facilities and the like. The mercenary Outers that you hire may end up working for others, even the Immortals, if the price is right. The Outers are fighting against corrupt AIs known as "Immortals." You can recruit and hire other Outers to help you do battle against the Immortals. No sir, you are instead an "Outer," which is a new evolution of human that came about after a global catastrophe. Though you are fighting for the future of humanity, you aren't a typical human. The average critic score for Daemon X Machina on OpenCritic is 70%, though it's only recommended by 40% of all critics.
The Switch release seems to have earned itself some generally favorable reviews.
Prior to this upcoming PC release, the only place to play Daemon X Machina is the Nintendo Switch. February 13 marks the release date for Daemon X Machina, a game that finds you fighting for humanity's future by taking control of a fully customizable mech. XSEED Games announced that a newcomer to the "giant ass-kicking mech" genre is less than two weeks away from release on PC.
