Gearbits Reviews

I better be playing GB2 when i'm retired

only 40 minutes in and this game is like a wet dream to me

This has likely been one of the best games I personally had bought, at least in the genre of Mecha. While the story writing is somewhat bland, the characters felt recognizable and like they were part of a cheesy 90's anime--in a good way, of course. I absolutely loved finding all the little references and visual design similarities to franchises like Gundam, particularly loving the amount of references towards the RGM-89 Jegan, and the RGM-79 GM. (Also I'm including the late-game missile pods which heavily resembled the MSN-04 Sazabi's.) The Itch DEMO really sold me on this project, and I was hooked immediately. I'm so glad to see this game got even more content within the full release (and subsequent demo).

Very good game, enjoyed my time with it a lot and find myself wanting more. If you enjoyed games like AC6 and GB4 and other mech titles this is right up your alley.

Its a cheap, good game. The story isn't really long but there is DLC. It's good for people who have either low end devices or are looking for a good affordable pacific rim type game. 8/10 would play again Also it would be so cool if there were figurines of the gearbits (mechs) PLEASE MAKE THIS A THING

if you want to support someone making an armored core all by themselves then this is the game to buy. The guy seems to be as close to armored core combat as is reasonable for a single person to do by themselves

I have never played a mech game before. This was good! It was certainly short what was there was really fun. especially the last handful of missions.

this game is an absolute hidden gem. basically, 'what if they made a classic Armored Core game in the modern day?' and they mixed in a bit of EDF (a series i happen to love). if you enjoy mecha at all i highly recommend this. the writing is whatever but it's probably not what you're here for anyway lol - it's very secondary and not at all intrusive.

A very fun 3rd person mech shooter. Has a 2 to 5 hour single player with some content worth replaying. it also has a "horde" style mode for more fun after you beat the game.

Fast-ish paced budget Armored Core, in a good way, with stylized cutscenes and visual novel-esque character dialogues. I will say its rough around the edges quite a bit but its short and some good fun. Pros: - Good amount of different weapons - Interesting story - Engaging gameplay - GB's, the mechs, have different default weapons with infinite ammo. Makes you think more about builds but some weapons (Cannons, missiles) are definitely better than others (Crappy light MG peashooter) Cons: - If you're on Mouse + Keyboard, turn off the aim-assist! It sucks ding-a-ling! Set the slider to either 0 or 100, I forget which it was but I thought my game was broken for a hot minute because I had TF2 style aimbot. - Speed is key, armor means nothing. The faster GB's will survive longer because you'll rely a lot more on movement. - Poor weapon balance; Why use a 6-round 120 damage autocannon when you have a 32-round 100 damage rifle? - Poor weapon balance part 2; Direct fire weapons, like rifles or the autocannon, are outclassed by every explosive weapon because this is a horde based shooter. - Some weapons are better against bugs, others against enemy GB's. When you play a mission where you face one after the other it can be a bit of a hassle to find a loadout that'll carry you through the mission.
