The war between humans and RAGE was exceedingly fierce, but thanks to the counter-RAGE organization [Freyja] and a certain GEAR mercenary, they steadily began recovering key locations on the surface. In 2112, over 50 years after the war began, humanity reclaimed Japan from the RAGE. 30 years later, in the [Cosmopolis] built upon Osaka, a pilot with an inherited [GEAR] and huge [debt] sets out with his Operator to become a Ranker in the Arena. It will not be a story for the history books, but simply a battle for their freedom...SYSTEMThe goal of "Damascus Gear Operation Osaka" is to repay the hero's significant [debt] before the due date.In the [Cosmopolis], GEAR pilots fight day and night in the [Arena] for large sums of Eyn(this world's currency).

Well go elsewhere because this is certainly nothing like it, with the exception of being able to customize your mech, but that's it. The gameplay is more like an action RPG like Diablo than a mech action game. I liked the mech designs, even if they aren't anything special, they were pretty cool. Graphics are fine, it's a port of a Vita game so don't expect anything amazing.If you want a decent mech game with some customization and some good gameplay look into War Tech Fighters. There's also Project Nimbus, although that doesn't have any mech customization. There's also ASSAULT GUNNERS HD EDITION which looks far more promising, has mech customization and, unlike Damascus Gear, it has KB+M support.. This is as if Armored core met a dugeon diablo clone. It's a bit glitchy, and you may have to tweak the video settings, oddly I get frame drops. Another con is that it is only in japanese voice (it has subtitles, thankfully).. I'm not sure if I should be recommending this game or not...For a cheap pick up its a lot of fun if you're into japanese mech games and Diablo but the game has a big issue... you're pushed through the game with a looming threat from loans you need to pay off and the threat is definitly real, and this adds some sort of rogue-esk elements where you inevitably fail and each time you fail the game resets, which it does several times after your 30 mission\/day deadline is up because you just dont have the stats to win.Even if you had godly levels of luck and skill you still wont win, and thats frustrating because it means you need to go back through *nearly* all the same dialogue and play all 30 missions\/days again, only to fail again.In general the difficulty spikes seem malicious or due to incompetence, as if they had to make them game longer and thought they could arbitrarily have you play it 5 times, and atm I've just lost for my 2nd time and have no idea if theres even a game past the 30 day mark... it sure seems like theres still things that happen in the story after that... it would be stupid if the game just pat you on the back for paying off a debt, but I have nfi because the hurdle is so \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing huge it blocks out the sun.Theres definitly fun to be had if you're into mecha and dungeon diving, more so if you love rogue-like games I guess, but the game just seems to rely to heavily on the stick.After writing this I think I realise I just really enjoy both the mecha and diablo style parts of the game so much, and the rogue-like elements dampen the blow just enough that I enjoy the game even with it constantly beating my brains in with a rock, but I think the games too niche to really recommend.. Simple but charming. The customization is decent, the overall mechanics are accesible, the soundtrack is catchy and I can't stop myself from doing one more room even if that means finding a big\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665GEAR that ends killing me, lol.I haven't finished yet, and will update the review at that point, but for now it's a 7\/10: Not perfect but fun, and at the current value (with -25%) I believe it's worth the price.. A decent example of sequel done right.Most of the issues with the previous game were fixed in this one.+No more pointless fetch quests+Lock on function+Unlimited dashing+Better graphics and sound effectsAs for the game itself - calling it "diablo with mechs" would be an overstatement, since it has much less depth and complexity than even Diablo 1, and it comes nowhere near games like Front Mission or Armored Core in term of mech customization.It's a simple, small, borderline indie dungeon crawler with cute little cyberpunk plot and anime twists that you can see a mile away.I managed to finish story in about 8 hours, but there is also post game grinding content.Still I recommend this game, even if not for the full price, but for something like -30~60% sale definitely.
