Missiles crushed me several times before I figured out how to play to the strengths of my mech, and it's no coincidence that my final, successful attempt was my fastest by some distance. It ran well and I won both matches, but I don't think it's an online mode I want to sink a lot of time into. Once more, with feelingĭue to the pre-release server situation, and despite my best efforts hosting and searching, I was only able to play two matches of PvP before review time.
But between my Souls instincts and the Gundam imagery in my head, I kept coming back to a fast mech with an energy sword, a full-auto rifle, and two types of missiles. I tried basically everything, and I see the potential of tanky builds with massive firepower. I could drop my bipedal legs and instead drift around on heavy tank treads, for example, or alternatively sub in a sturdy tetrapod base or perhaps double-jointed bipedal legs built for jumping. Being the Souls-head that I am, I went with a lightweight build with the fastest dodge possible, sacrificing shields and armor for breakneck speed and all-out offense. A few components can totally change the feel of the game, and the compelling part is learning how to make it work for you. The whole combat system is impressively modular. Ultimately, I settled for a clean look with one custom decal inspired by that classic Destiny 2 raid callout, "dragon breathing fire to the left." Tribal flames? Zebra paint? A skull with a rose in its mouth? This is horribly tacky, and I love it. It goes without saying that I recreated the Aerial Gundam from The Witch From Mercury, and perusing the robot boutique took me right back to my days of Need for Speed Underground 2. Yes, I am that basic, but I did play with the mech fashion for the heck of it.
I'd already found a build that works for me, and I certainly wasn't going to change my blacked-out-with-pink-lights look that the good people of Rubicon have now come to associate with Raven. One of the reasons my second playthrough was much faster is that I didn't spend much time in the garage. These are some of the harshest difficulty spikes in FromSoftware historyĪnswering these questions and balancing your mech's parameters is engrossing.
