You’d be forgiven if you forgot Megaton Musashi W: Wired was due out yesterday; we talked about the release date and I still forgot about it.
In fact, you’d be forgiven if you forgot about it entirely, because it feels like Level-5 has been giving it far less attention than their other upcoming games.
Inazuma Eleven, Fantasy Life i, DecaPolice, and of course Professor Layton have seen their share of coverage, but alongside those other announcements was also this mecha action RPG.
I’m not familiar with the Megaton Musashi series, but it seems there’s both an anime and a game that’s been expanded with each new release. From what I understand, Megaton Musashi X was an expanded release of Megaton Musashi, and Megaton Musashi W is an expanded version of that.
Megaton Musashi W: Wired came out a couple days ago to little fanfare, and it has barely any reviews due to them seemingly not sending out review copies.
It’s gotten some reviews on Steam now, and they’re pretty positive. What surprised me was learning that this wasn’t just a mecha action game, but also an RPG with at least a decent focus on story.
Of all of Level-5’s upcoming games, this one was on my radar the least. Nevertheless, now I’m feeling tempted to check it out… maybe when my backlog isn’t quite so overwhelming. In the meantime, I just hope Level-5 steps up their marketing when it comes to the rest (especially Professor Layton)!
