Speaking as the local purveyor of and advocate for all things drab and monochrome, I have to say, I... I like that Death Rex boxart. I like it.

A much needed Zoid design. I really am into it. However, I think I will still take a pass; I am content with just owning Ganontortoise for now.
Edit: I may take that back. This design really is good. The Wild Blast doesn't look awful to boot.

Absolutely LOVE the Hunter Wolf. This Zoid looks absolutely amazing, even compared to its earlier teaser, which I was a little on the fence about. I love the new armor take and the unique (sonic?) gun. Also looks like we've got the pilot name: Salt. I don't think we've seen them yet, but the fact that it's a Team Freedom Zoid makes me excited to see it in animated form! Bring on the wolves! Also, look at that front box art. PROPER. LIGHTING. If only the others could fit into their background so well. EDIT: So wow. We got a lot of stuff this evening! We have a lot of preview content for the game. - Screenshots- Teaser Video- Gameplay Preview VideoThe preview video shows off an all new character, and her Zoid, the Spideath! Glad to see it in some animated capacity. The video was originally posted on Twitter but promptly pulled within 30 minutes or so. I've uploaded it to youtube but not sure if it'll stay up. Also this tweet that shows the Evil Armor, complete with green caps!  This tweet also gives us a preview of Salt, pilot of the Hunter Wolf. I'm not sure how to feel about them just yet. Not sure they have anything to add to the team, but we'll see~ |

That wolf might just be the best design yet. looks to be nice and big too
Wow, wasn't expecting the game to be a fighting game, but somehow that really isn't surprising. Not even a little interested, but it looks nice. Maybe someday we'll get another vs type game again

I love the fact that the new game re-uses sound effects from Full Metal Crash.

I love the fact that the new game re-uses sound effects from Full Metal Crash. I suppose "if it ain't broke don't fix it." While that does mean the team can dedicate resources to other areas of development, that is a very big red flag. Overall, the game looks very flashy and wonderful...which I think disguises a rather simple fighting game in the vein of the Naruto and Pokken 3D fighters like it. A lot of detail and attention has gone into the Zoids themselves which is nice. But just by looking at it, it seems this is standard fair for a game like this. |

I don't think this game is going to be a hit but sound effects are a bad indicator. Every game in existence probably uses some sound effects from common sound libraries, including ones that have been around for 10 or more years. It may be a more apt criticism for the anime, which couldn't make more roar variations for some of the Zoids. (Gilraptor using the same roar 5 times in under 30 seconds is painful to the ears, but at least in a game sound spam is expected.)
Sure the game would be fun in the same way any button masher is, but once you've played one button masher you've played them all. Unfortunately it doesn't appeal enough for me to pick up a switch. The Zoids are sadly underwhelming. I could be wrong but they look like the 3D rigs used for the model kits, just with neglected effort on the shaders. Would've loved to see them apply some basic line effects like the anime, but instead had to do a serious double take to tell if some images were actually just photos of the models.
Gonna go out on a limb and guess the story won't be anything special either, as it seems to follow the anime. Which is a shame as story campaigns / challenges can make a fighting game for me. It'd be cool if they choose to branch into a separate adventure at some point.
Aside from the disjointed freezing on animations, the animations themselves look nice though, and it's cool to see Spideath and Scorpear working together. Also neat to see the other Zoids getting some good moves. Nothing is better than Falc pointing out that Death Rex's 3rd move is called Happy Meal. That is just so perfect for a rex.
