It was the greatest disaster in recorded history ... The moon tore apart, turning the sky into a kaleidoscope of red light that illuminated all who watched from below.

In this new action game from Kenichiro Tsukuda (Armored Core) and mech designer Shoji Kawamori, you must defend the planet through high-speed mech combat against corrupt robots. Choose and equip your Arsenal with a multitude of weapons, obtain more from downed enemy Arsenals, and swap them on the fly to suit your strategy in the face of ever-changing threats that may bring the end of the world.

You can also squad up with up to three other players locally or online to destroy titanic bosses in Co-op mode.

Key Features

• The player’s avatar is customizable with a variety of options
• Each Arsenal can be equipped with different weapons on its arms and shoulders, as well as reserve weaponry on its back that can be swapped out during battle
• Defeated enemies drop ammo and weapons, which the player can obtain and use on the fly
• Online and local wireless multiplayer modes support up to 4 players

If you want to practice piloting your Arsenal before you fly head first into battle, try downloading the Daemon X Machina Prologue demo, available as a free download in Nintendo eShop. The demo allows you to play the opening section of the game, with any progress you make during the demo carried over to the full game, once purchased.

Daemon X Machina is currently available for the Nintendo Switch for $59.99, along with some free and paid DLC items, which offer even more options to customize your Arsenal with new decals, weapons and clothes.

Additional paid downloadable content, including new missions and dozens of emotes, decals and other customization items, will be added to the game in the coming months.
