Megaton Musashi W: Wired offered an unexpected journey into the mech genre, a realm previously foreign to me. The game provides a window into the intricate customization and strategic depth that will surely captivate mech enthusiasts, while its accessible combat may allure those unfamiliar with the genre. Despite various modes designed to enhance replayability and multiplayer interaction, it was the compelling narrative that truly captured my attention. This emotional and exhilarating 30-hour adventure, although briskly paced at times, consistently maintains engagement. Whether you're new to mechs or a long-time fan of Level-5, Megaton Musashi W: Wired proves to be an enriching experience that's well worth exploring.

#MegatonMusashiWWired - Hry
This is a Mecha anime fan’s dream game, I so wish Level 5 makes a sequel soon.
no it isn't
That was armored core 6 bro, but dreams doesnt have to be just 1 game
@@zethrenbeltran4071AC6 and Megaton Musashi is gear for different type of mech fandom. AC6 is Real Robot fans and Megaton is more for Super Robot fans. Is like Gundam vs Getter Robo
@@johnsonli7012 thats a great comparison
Nice. Noisy Pixel dropping continues to drop reviews I'm actually interested in. Stumbled on this game the other night and plan on getting it once I'm done with the games I'm currently playing.
Feels like they didn't promote this game at all.
You're right. They didn't. There's even no release day trailer on the official playstation channel.
@@BadguyRchn Bankruptcy part 2!
They closed the global offices the day they released the game. So, yeah there was no budget for marketing.
I love Level-5, but they barely promote their games overseas…
I just saw an x ad for getter robo being in this game. I'd skip these boring cutscenes but not really worth paying full price imo. In game looks better than the anime stuff they have imo so it's weird to clash let alone I'd rather just blast stuff like gundam maxiboost, and that has local 2 player unlike this game.
Im hooked on this game, after AC6 i wanted another mecha game that was good and this game hit the right spot!
Just 100%'d AC6 and I neeeed more. Appreciate this comment!!
You didn't like mechwarriors 5?
I have friends who raved about the original Megaton Musashi game. It's awesome that we're getting this sequel in the west. Sounds like it's worth a go!
the sequel also includes all the content(excluding some cross-overs and free-to-play limitations) of the previous entries too so you aren't missing out on anything by starting with wired
There is a free to play on Japan Nintendo switch. (It been there for couple of years. I glad i finally play it last year probably now have over 200 +hours gameplay, level 71 ect. Fun enjoyable experiences that's for sure.
Second day in a row CZcams has come thru once again. I'm convinced it's now my algorithms because this is the second mech game I've seen. Anyways, if it wasn't for your video, I would not have heard about this game. Thanks for this!
Bless the algorithm
I bought this randomly...Was not expecting to like this game, but it ended up being my favorite release all year. I've never played a game like it with the 2d walk around story then the action combat with the heavy loot drops and leveling system. I need more games like this and I'm not sure where too look. Closest I've found was Dynasty Warriors, which I'm a huge fan of, but its not as great as this. I need more of this. So side note, someone recommend me some more steam games like this. LOVE THIS GAME
I’m curious too
You can try Fate/EXTELLA LINK which is similar to Dynasty Warriors.
Hell yeah. Been watching and waiting for this to get released and heard nothing but positivity and for you, a person like myself, who would just be buying it off the cuff? That’s the kind of review I need. Some guy off the street buying it and loving it.
Definitely plan to pick it up soon. Just wish it got a physical.
I’ve started over like 3 times already bc it’s so much shit you can mess up on but you have to take your time on how you want to
Play and what you want to upgrade
i HIGHLY recommend SD Gundam Battle Alliance
This game is really good, combat is fun and feels very polished. PS5 version has a 120 FPS mode.
It is a contender for Game of the Year for me. Thank you Noisy Pixel for reviewing it.
Nice review dude. It's great to have Level 5 back.
Giving characters hard shadows but not the mechs.... YEESH. Pet peeve unlocked. This is the best review channel on the internet btw. Keep up the great work
This actually looks way better than expected, and much better than what the trailer on the PS Store shows. Probably gonna get this, thanks for the review!
thanks for review as always lol now i gotta watch first 30 mins (im at work) then most likely im getting it
I'll definitely buy this; it looks like what Custom Robo should've been.
Custom Robo on ds!? Shocked to hear someone mention the series lol i legit thought i was the only person who played it and it may have been some sort of fevor dream xD
I used to play that every chance I got on the demo booths in the store! I think Walmart had it.
You should play LBX!
@@sirmel11I have that on the 3DS. Very underrated for sure.
@@creekandseminole I liked the anime and the game!
Thx for the review someone can explain me the premium pass in the game is a season pass or is just a extra for those who buy the deluxe edition?
This is by far the best Mecha game. The Story, the Music, the Limitless Customization, the Characters, the Animations, the Graphics....do I need to say more?
I’ll be picking this up on a Steam sale, but no way this is the best mecha game, when there are games like Armored Core, Zone of the Enders, MechAssault, Front Mission, etc.
@@Silvergun_Raven none of the games you mentioned have:
* The level of customization.
* The character's interaction.
* The music.
Like Megaton M. Wired.
u forgot the pvp leaderboard and/or the passes
@@nirvash241 yeah all that is optional, this game rewards you for everything you do, the only thing I still need to see being rewarded for, is breathing. No game comes so close in rewarding players.
@@Silvergun_RavenWell Megaton Musashi already has the advantage of it signature mecha being designed by Go Nagai
It looks cool. Might have to check this out
Thanks for the review
Megaton Musashi W is a win
Hmm... If this has a physical release for Switch and is this good AND not promoted in the slightest then I spot a future hidden gem worth some change. That's just how it goes sometime.
Love this game. Pvp mode and multiplayer is awesome!
I’m going to check it out I think. I was really hoping for something similar to LBX on 3DS. That game was great but really went under the radar
I'll call out that the most interesting thing with Megaton Musashi is that they timed the release of the game with an anime series. Interesting cross-media marketing approach, at least for the western market (where game/anime tie-ins tend to have 1 behind the other by a few years)
Actually I believe the anime and previous game were only released in Japan/Asia in 2021. I really liked the anime anyway.
Great Video!
You should add Jean D'Arc to your Level-5 list of games. It is a very good tactical jrpg. Anime cutscenes, the full shit boy!!
Is there a physical release?
Just bought it, reminds me a bit of 13 sentinels, while I loved that game, I wish you could see more of the mechs during battles, so I'm looking forward to this one.
13 sentinels is the worst mech game in existence.
@@chaikagaz false
@@chaikagazincorrect
Guess you could say this is a W then.
Well, this will definitely keep people occupied for a bit before Gundam Breaker 4 comes out.
I sincerely doubt it will come close to the amount of content offered in megaton musashi. Also, it's bamco, and you know the recent bamco rep regarding Gundam games.
I just hope Gundam Breaker actually has some meat to it. A story, missions, an arcade mode. I miss the Dynasty Warriors Gundam level of action. Sure those are just hack and slash games but there is no good Gundam action happening. Battle Alliance was cute but ultimately a let down. Just nothing is filling that fun action adventure game space at all.
@@Kerunou Damn gonna remind me about Dynasty Warriors Gundam like that. Man I love my DW games. They are for certain people.
@@Kerunou The fuck are you talking about?
We got some of the best games for the series in recent years: SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays, Gundam Extreme VS Maxi Boost ON and Battle Operation Code Fairy to name a few
Also, those Gundam Musou games are garbage since they're NOT traditional Gundam games
You have low standards when the only games you can come up are Gundam Breaker and Gundam Musou, so maybe you need to STFU
@BadguyRchn Bamco is a publisher, stop pretending to know what you're talking about.
ur review choices r always intresting! tanx
Is there a battle pass? Saw a steam review that confused me
This is a no brainer for fans of gundam breaker or a nice PSO/Monster hunter style loot grind. Im 90 hours deep already and still itching for more.
And to anyone off put by the battle pass: its just items and consumables you can already obtain in game. The premium pass is just more of those same items and is a one time purchase with the deluxe edition. Its extremely unintrusive. All of the leftover "free to play bullshit" from the prior free to play version has been completely retooled and outside of the one time deluxe pass purchase, none of it is purchaseable with money. The only microtransactions left over are some pilot cosmetics and some victory screen emotes.
This
Doubt its gundam breaker because you cant mix and match parts
@@chaikagaz Well I didnt claim it was. I merely said if you like GB youll probably like this.
You also absolutely can mix parts. It probably isnt ideal to lose the set bonuses by doing so end game, but theres also transmog so 🤷♀
thanks for assuming I dont know what Im talking about though! 👍
I never thought someone would borrow the plot from 13 sentinals. This does feel like a proper mech show. I’m glad someone managed to promote this.
As someone who played 13 sentinels, I can say the presentation as kind visual novel is the only thing that is alike. The game is fighting against aliens and everything actually happening, if you know what I mean.
@@arikari3672 I agree. I was mostly talking about high schoolers waking up to the truth of the world and getting into the robots. Gameplay wise it looks more like custom robo or dbx if anyone remembers that.
@@funkmastaC oh I see. That's right, the starter point is similar.
So are they also stuck in a vr world while making the journey thru space?
Reminds me of the Gundam game that came out a few years ago which was really good too.
Thank you buddy for Your Awesome reviwe about the game god bless You 😊
I surely have to get this game not only because it looks good but I watched the anime and it was also good.
Are you sure the story is 30 hours long? I'm at 50+ hours, wasn't grinding much, and I'm still in the middle of season 2. Yes, this game consists of 3 seasons megaton musashi, megaton musashi X, and the third, not yet broadcasted. So if the game offers you to start a new game + it's far from over.
thanks im getting. im a mecha addict so this is my next game!
He must have sped through that with next to no side content(which like every level-5 game is the real meat and potatoes gameplay-wise) in order to get the review out
It probably naturally around 80+ or 100+ hours because they added the whole main storyline plus also you have to grind level up bit more at times to finally complete further missions. Plenty of content all around.
Never heard of this however giant mechs? Count me in!
These bangers keep coming out from under the wire lately 😂
Does it have a physical version in the West?
Nope
Just picked up the game as it finally went on sale, definitely like the gameplay loop so far.
The soundtrack is 🔥
Such a shame there’s no physical version of this game, I thought level -5 might’ve gone to make a deal with the (evil) limited run games for physical distribution but alas that didn’t seem to be the case….speaking of which, kind of annoyed that Lolipop Chainsaw RePop is one of those LRG physical distribution deals….so much for hoping to pick it up more easily without having to deal with the likes of LRG’s….and they’re sluggish as hell distribution process.
Wat?? I never knew this got a translation. Saw an ad when vacationing in Japan like a year back for musashi x but gave up cause couldnt follow the story n instructions in japanese. Definitely trying this
It came out!?
I'm just happy I have something similar to lbx from level 5 also just level 5 games are good
So we don't mention what language it's in or the voice acting?
Japanese with English subs which fits the game.
My biggest question is how did it run on Switch? Combat wise the game is giving me Gundam Breaker vibes where as the customization menus remind me of Super Robot Wars.
Looks pretty stable in the shown gameplay
does the physical have english??
I know this will sound odd but the puppet character sprites would look so much better at 24fps
I will finally buy the game when it's 50% off in a few days, I'm buying one copy for me and one for my son. I would have bought it sooner if they had released it physically.
Wish there was a physical for Ps5 for this.
Where’s the PAX East Day 2 drop?
The dude going around talking to devs is pretty cool, I like his style
This is too ironic, prepare yourself
If the mechs werent chibi I would buy it, I miss the A.C.E. games so muchhhh
Musashi huh... Reminds me of the title musashi the brave fencer 1&2 lol but that's a completely different musashi~
We need a Dark Cloud 3
This game kinda reminds me of the capcom fighting game tech romancer.
Game is amazing. Level 5 does it again
Got a bit of a Virtual On vibe.
Good I need a new Virtual On
ME WANT NOW!!!🤤🤤
If you think this is good then you missed about danball senki games. The mech gameplay is definitely heavily influenced by their danball senki games. Danball Senki games were proper RPG + Mecha games.
Its good but I think the price is too much.
Considering the main story alone is almost 40 hours long, idk the price is fair to me
Its $37 on steam atm
@@devilbringer110250-70$ USD for the third re-release of a niche level5 games is a robbery at gunpoint.
Is the Blonde girl @0:22 a main character?
Sadly no
IT'S CO-OP
LBX but big
From top to bottom. Even upgrading feels like LBX. i've been looking for something like LBX but less "L," and this is it. Plays great on Switch.
It's a anime 😮
For the first part I was interested in sort of the narrative / visual novel side of the game more
But man once the mech combat came onto screen, it’s hard to not be thinking about Armored Core 6. And the comparison is pretty rough with this game’s mech combat.
I think they're different, even their focus. Musashi is focused on narrative in some parts and directed towards anime and old anime mecha fans I think, and is more accessible for more public like me a clumsy person that souls like stuff is like a nightmare to handle.
The gameplay comparison is dumb for they're not only two different styles of gameplay but also two different styles of mecha, Armored Core is real robot Megaton Musashi is Super Robot
I thought this looked Monster Huntery!
SD Gundam Battle Alliance is also very good in the same style
I wanted to buy this game. But then I looked at the dlc page...I don't want to buy this game anymore
Anime armored core?
Isn't that daemon x machina.
Ni no kuni 1 is the best game from lv5
This is definitely for fans of 13 sentinels
Too bad there is no ps4 physical release.
This or daemon x machina?
wait how many sub teams have level 5? give us decapolice alredy not make side games :
Too bad that the PC version comes saddled with Epic's crap and anti cheat. Honestly, the moment I see that I immediately assume that the game is unplayable due to my past experiences with their garbage.
every game you review is an 8-9..
You forgot to mention there is no English dub so its sub only which is a big no no in my book.
I'm sure you can read, can't you? Besides, this has been an ongoing game in Japan and luckily they decided to take the time to add subs and release it internationally.
@@chinito77 prefer dubs espcially with a game that's voiced and dialouge heavy. Just wanted to point this out since the review missed it and people do wonder about this.
I like the storyline at times lucky for me as a gamer I'm usually always looking forward to gameplay over storyline. On your in it a total opposite which is understandable you desire for English duds.
Anyone else find those character designs horrifying? ☠️
Mobile gacha game with some of the p2w removed,(not even sure they actually removed any p2w since there is still battlepass, dungeons limited by key and other generic mobile trash methods of limiting you) and a 50$ price tag.
Ah yes, so good.
Yes and No. It was originally a console game that only released in Japan, they later launched an upgraded version as a f2p, it seems they used that one as base for this one.
Game looks neat. But dam. Guys, this is a review of a videogame, not a report for a school project. Honestly, either you guys ran this by chat GTP or you have no writers on your team.
Bailey has a degree in creative writing haha if you can imagine my video script versions are the dumb down versions of his written review which you can find on the website. - Azario
Hard pass. I heard this game have a battlepass/daily log in/ premium pass in a full-priced singleplayer campaign.
This game includes contents from the original game released in 2021 and the mobile game sequel Megaton Musashi X. The battlepass stuff is a holdover from the mobile game. I also think it's unsightly but it doesn't affect the game and is just free bonus items you'll randomly get. That said, there is a permanent battlepass unlock in the deluxe edition. I would advise not getting that as you get showered in items.
That reminds me, I should finish watching that banger of an anime before I start playing this.
What is this rip off copy? Are they trying to copy Megatron
Looks boring zzzzz
I bought the Japanese version of this game, now I can have a version were I understand everything.
Hey can you answer my question: does the Japanese version also have multiple languages translations including English? 👀
Constructive criticism: Maybe in your reviews you could mention which platform the game was reviewed on and talk about the performance.
This or daemon x machina?
