LEVEL-5·Released Nov 11, 2021·Co-op
Megaton Musashi is set on Earth in the year 2118. The main characters pilot giant machines called “Musashi” to combat the Dorakuta, invaders from outer space that destroyed the planet in a matter of days. This game obtained a free2play version called "Megaton Musashi X (Cross)" with additional content
Megaton Musashi already has a lot going for it, but there's certainly a lot of room for improvement. The relatively disposable narrative is merely a lightweight obstacle in the way of the real fun found here: battling an unfortunately repetitive palette of enemies and then tinkering with your rogue, the latter of which is the game's primary attraction. To be fair, it is a disproportionately excellent attraction, which makes the rest of the game's issues secondary. With monthly updates coming from Level-5 adding both missions and parts, this is definitely a worthwhile, if flawed, import with style to spare. We'd welcome an official, localised release in the West despite the game's issues; after all, Switch needs all the ammo it can get as it moves into its fifth year.
