STORY
[GEAR System] - This system is revealed by the Atsuga Corporation in the mid-21st century revolutionized all technologies, allowing for the perfection of piloted humanoid robots called [GEARs].With the outbreak of the World War Four in 2050 and the loss of control of the [GEAR System] that followed, the world changed completely.
The berserk [GEARs] became know as [RAGE], and combat GEARs around the world began a total massacre of humanity.
Humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction, but a few survivors escaped underground and began analyzing the GEAR System to prepare for a counterattack. 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...
SYSTEM
The 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). The hero will participate in the Arena as a Ranker, aiming to use the prize money to repay his debt.
Once per day, the hero can choose to go on a [mission] or enter the [Arena].
In [missions], you explore dungeons to collect new parts, while you can win prize money and rank up by fighting in the [Arena].
Use [missions] to enhance your GEAR, and earn prize money in the [Arena] before the due date. If you don't make it by the due date...
ARENA
In the [Arena], you fight matched battles against other Rankers.
Winning gives you Eyn and Arena Points. Obtaining Arena Points increases your rank.
These are basically 1 vs 1 fights, but there are some special battles where you fight multiple enemies, etc.MISSION
On [missions], you explore the [Cosmopolis] dungeon that changes every time you enter, to collect parts and other items.
More difficult dungeons can be slected by winning in the [Arena] and raising your rank.
When accepting a mission, each difficulty level will also assign 3 random sub-missions. Completing them before leaving will award you bonus rewards.OUTFITTING

You can also change the color of each section.
When you progress the story, you will also unlock Electro-Enhancement procedures to enhance the player himself.DATA

An OK game. A simple ARPG that takes some of the problems of the first game and revamps or tries to fix some. The combat feels snappier, the game still needs to be locked at max 60fps to run properly, but unlike the previous tile, doing so doesnt introduce slowdowns when there are lots of stuff spawned or with multihit weapons, wich is a huge plus and makes the game feel fluid and playable.
Tough repeating the same early maps in different missions with just some text lore/objective exposure has been changed to your personal android helper that does all the talking, wich for some can feel like making the game more linear, but imo its the same with a different skin. The maps look better but they repeat alot all the same aswell.
Tough enemy variety is a bit increased, it feels like the same as if your mecha parts/weapons have the bigger number statwise you will basically stomp your enemies, otherwise you will be stomped, theres very little your skill alone can do, numbers still play the biggest part.
The premise of this game sounds cooler than the previous game wich was a generic humanity vs AI war with mechs, but it feels like the early game debt loop (you will know what I am talking about) is just a way to pad out the early progression before the real game starts. Too bad the real game doesnt really change that much from the big number duels but atleast as you progress you get some (even if few) cooler weapon types/mechanics.
Its a fun little game if it comes with a cheap sale price tag, and I really hope a next entry of this series actually fixes the last problems mentioned (less padding/ more parts and mechanics/ more skill based than just stat number based), then this series could become a widespread success.

Sadly, this game is leaps and bounds above its predecessor and it is right on the verge of me recommending it. There's enough here that is so close to good that I want to find an excuse to do so. But I can't in good conscience do so.
Operation Osaka does away with the story based mecha Roguelike and instead focused on a future time and a pilot deep in debt. Their only way out is to win enough in the local arena battles to rank up and make the payments before the 30 day period is up.
To earn mechs parts and experience, you can explore the tunnels beneath the city in a simple Roguelike dungeon crawl. There's an extremely small number of rooms and little variance in these dungeons, but its interesting enough that I generally enjoy myself.
Mech building is the high point as you swap out multiple classes of mech parts and weapons (with random bonus traits) to customize your build. This is particularly satisfying and it feels good to try out different weapon classes. I've had immense fun going into the arena and duking it out with people.
But no matter the potential here, the entire system does fall apart quickly due to poor balance and questionable design choices. Mechs have an "Evasion" stat that causes JRPG style "Misses" when a target is physically hit. By B rank fights and dungeons... I realized that maneuvering no longer mattered... only stats.
This becomes especially true in the dungeon... when a floor RNG decides the exit gate is guarded by an elite troop that you literally can't hurt. I went 20 floors down with all attacks missing... only get get one shot by a boss. This just isn't a satisfying progression in a dungeon.
Other times, I find myself outmatched and looking for an Exit... but unlike nearly every other dungeon crawl there is no escape items. I need to rely on RNG to give me an exit gate that is guarded by reasonable enemies. All the while, hoping desperately that the RNG drops give me any gear.. none-the-less valuable Legendary or Rare ones.
Ultimately... the fun I had was RNG. Sometimes, i came out satisfied and rewarded... other times it was a slog that felt like a waste of time.
Additionally, there is a weird plot decision to shut down the arena for about 30% of the game. Because all rank and dungeon progression is tied to the arena... you could find yourself unexpectedly stuck in the low ranks for a large chunk of time. This would mean not being able to explore the better dungeons, shop for better gear, or make the profits you need to pay off your debt.
Thing is, despite all these bad choices... I'm enjoying this game. But I can't actually recommend it.
unbelievably bad, do not waste money on this.
Game of the decade
This game was really close to being good, but there were so many bad ideas thrown into the mix.
The first is that the game loves to waste your time. Mission quality is dependent on arena rank, but the arena gets closed for half the plot so you better be high rank before that happens or you won't be able to level or gear up properly. You aren't allowed to level up until halfway through the loop regardless of if it's your first time, which keeps you from challenging deeper levels until it gets re-enabled.
Secondly the combat is 90% rubbing your numbers against theirs. Proper piloting helps, but usually one of you nullifies the others' damage and can just sit still while firing. Guns seem to scale way worse than armor, so eventually fighting devolves into a never ending series of 'DODGED' texts popping up
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 fucking 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-ass GEAR 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 effects
As 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.
Want something like Armored Core? 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).
