"Captivating"
Slender mechs in razor-sharp cel-shading by Yoji Shinkawa, dazzling battles and brilliant lighting effects: the anime aesthetic comes alive in real time. The fluidity of the clashes and the elegance of the design stand apart from everything else. This visual identity, sleek and futuristic, keeps an intact modernity.
Blending nervy electro and orchestral flights, the music electrifies the mecha battles with a galvanising futuristic energy. The synth pads embrace the speed of the clashes while making room for more intimate emotional moments. This sonic intensity, elegant and rhythmic, elevates the action from end to end.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Two mecha action games gathered in high definition, where you pilot an agile robot in aerial fights of dazzling speed and fluidity. Locking onto swarms of enemies and unleashing spectacular attacks delivers a snappy, exhilarating pleasure. Stylish, spectacular and beautifully remastered, an ideal compilation to (re)discover a mecha series as elegant as it is enjoyable.
