This is an equivalent of rotten golden egg Itsuno been dreaming of. Could've made the game the time the dream is still fresh. It stinks of flies (modern devs) and lacks of something, a spark that brings people of all ages alike to play this game.
Played for a couple of hours.. If I were to compare this to the first version, I'd say this is 1/10th of the fun, playability, and japanese flair againts DD:DA. If I were in their game dev team, I would make a DD;DA new DLC with graphics update, extended story, new map, new char types, new mech, voacation... Slap it with "5 dollaz only" Boom!
