A Megaton Splashing Onto The Nintendo Switch!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ps4 - Review: Megaton Musashi W: Wired (Switch Retail) 900x_214

Megaton Musashi W: Wired for the Nintendo Switch is one of the best mecha-themed JRPG's that we've ever experienced! It's well up there with the legendary PS2 Gundam JRPG MS Saga: A New Dawn which is some high praise for sure! The gameplay feels akin to the musou sub-genre with twitchy hack and slash battles just with a lot more actions and skills, as well as first person skills that add some TPS genre elements in as well, however there's a lot more to the game than just the combat side of things, though the combat is a blast to play!

There's a load of customization options, between parts, weapons, hoverboards, boosters, decals, paint, and more, you can create your dream mecha and pilot it in battle! The game has tons of in-game achievements that unlock a plethora of rewards. Most of your important functions can be accessed from your in-game phone via apps or by visiting the appropriate shops and other establishments!

The story is pretty amazing though some of the themes are quite dark or downright bizarre as one of the characters loves cats maybe a little bit too much, but we digress! There are also side stories that showcase character growth or a new side of characters you seldom see in the main story! These can be quite fun to watch at times for sure!

The game's missions are where the main meat of the game resides, and it honestly has a good bit of variety. There are sub-missions, free missions "letting you replay key story missions", Dreadnaught Missions which are harder and usually beefier missions, shelter missions, and more offering tons of replayability! There's a point in the game where you gain access to a second main protagonist for a split story that you can switch back and forth between, however that second route is only available temporarily so be sure to finish that before you progress too far in the main story, otherwise you'll miss a good chunk of the story permanently!

The online modes allow you to take part in online matches and ranked matches in the coliseum as well as taking on quests together with other players! All of this is indeed a blast to take part in, however there are very few active players online meaning that it may take 30+ minutes to get a full party together, which is certainly unfortunate, but there's also another issue, which is that online coliseum matches can only be tackled with coliseum exclusive parts and weapons many of which can only be obtained in the coliseum mode making it hard to be competitive against already established players. Luckily however, you won't really miss much content wise if you completely blow-off playing online multiplayer, so it's not something we'd dock points for.

The audiovisual-presentation of Megaton Musashi W: Wired is quite impressive with a great art style during story sequences and the locations you can travel to on foot, and gorgeous yet sad apocalyptic battlefields to blast away the alien menaces in the game! The UI is extremely fluid and looks fantastic and the battles themselves rarely ever suffer framertate issues, however once in a blue moon you might encounter a brief dip in frames followed by the game crashing. While this only happened to us twice in over 200 hours of gameplay, it was quite annoying having to restart a story chapter over again because we forgot to save for a couple hours.

And lastly the audio side of things was fantastic! With full Japanese voice acting, and a wide-array of fantastic music, especially the collaboration tracks from Getter Robo and more, this is easily our GoTY so far and is well-deserving of a near-perfect score only hampered by a very rare, albeit annoying crash that can occasionally occur randomly...

ps4 - Review: Megaton Musashi W: Wired (Switch Retail) 900x_312

Bottom-Line: With flawless gameplay, a superb yet sometimes quirky story, great online functionality that could use more active players, and an absolutely amazing audiovisual-presentation, Megaton Musashi W: Wired for the Nintendo Switch is well-deserving of a perfect score, however a rare crash in the game drops its score just a tad, but is nonetheless our current top contender for GoTY 2024 as we give this game a near-perfect level of recommendation!
