The game follows 13 different characters as they explore a broad array of timelines and sci-fi experiences, piloting mechs in an effort to save multiple worlds - while also being teenagers (sometimes). These interactions are portrayed through each character's eyes as the player inhabits their perspective across various stories that intertwine, and the result is a complex narrative that, while stumbling in spots, ends up shining through as an excellent and unexpected tale.","2025-01-26T13:24:39.981276-05:00",{"id":179,"logo":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"tags":122,"bluesky":19,"twitter":196,"youtube":197,"facebook":196,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":198,"website_url":199,"score_format":76,"average_score":102,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":19,"stats_updated_at":103,"headquarters_city":19,"news_editor_email":19,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":19,"reviews_editor_email":19,"editor_in_chief_email":200,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FScreen-Rant-Logo.jpg","Screen Rant","screen-rant","screenrant","@ScreenRant","Screen Rant has grown into the largest source of breaking entertainment news and original features for movies, TV, comics, anime & gaming since 2003.","https:\u002F\u002Fscreenrant.com\u002F","editorial@screenrant.com",{"id":202,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":203,"author":204,"original_score":187,"normalized_score":32,"review_url":211,"review_date":189,"summary":212,"created_at":213,"updated_at":213,"author_id":205,"last_edited_at":213,"outlet":214},2235133,156,{"id":205,"bio":19,"name":206,"avg_score":207,"outlet_id":19,"created_at":208,"profile_id":19,"updated_at":209,"claim_token":19,"article_count":210,"claimed_by_user_id":19},17822,"Ricky Berg",82.12121212121212,"2026-03-21T11:01:09.148636-04:00","2026-03-21T11:02:18.359911-04:00",71,"https:\u002F\u002Fnintendowire.com\u002Freviews\u002F13-sentinels-aegis-rim-for-switch\u002F","Let’s not waste time -

There are thirteen different protagonists with their own branching stories based on player decisions. All protagonists feel like fully-formulated characters -- each also serving as a classic anime archetype. The characters are believable in this frenzied drama that takes players for a narrative ride. Emotional storytelling helps to set the tone for this sci-fi mystery and arcade-like gameplay makes for satisfyingly quick encounters.

This encourages you to get experimental with your roster choices early on, but makes the back-end of the game feel a trifle too easy once you start racking up those meta-chip bonuses. Any squad of six can easily lay waste to virtually anything in their path by the time you cruise into the third set of 10 battles.","2025-03-01T12:13:11.137795-05:00",{"id":403,"logo":416,"name":417,"slug":418,"tags":393,"bluesky":19,"twitter":419,"youtube":418,"facebook":418,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":420,"website_url":421,"score_format":76,"average_score":102,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":19,"stats_updated_at":103,"headquarters_city":19,"news_editor_email":19,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":19,"reviews_editor_email":19,"editor_in_chief_email":19,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Finverse-logo.jpg","Inverse","inverse","inversedotcom","Inverse is for the superfan in all of us.

True story: Odin Sphere Leifthrasir was the first Platinum trophy I unlocked on PS4. You couldn’t tear me away from that game; it was all I did for days on end until I cleared it. Everything about it was magic, from the beautiful design to the engaging combat and enticing story. Here I am, four years later and head over heels for the studio’s latest endeavor. A grand sci-fi tale filled with mechs and kaiju and that same wonderful art style wrapping it all together like the world’s most comfortable blanket.","2025-01-18T13:23:34.641966-05:00",{"id":344,"logo":627,"name":628,"slug":629,"tags":440,"bluesky":19,"twitter":630,"youtube":19,"facebook":631,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":632,"website_url":633,"score_format":76,"average_score":370,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":19,"stats_updated_at":103,"headquarters_city":19,"news_editor_email":19,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":19,"reviews_editor_email":19,"editor_in_chief_email":19,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fplaystation-lifestyle-logo.png","Playstation Lifestyle","playstation-lifestyle","PSLifeStyle","playstationlifestyle","We love PlayStation, so we report on everything to do with it.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.playstationlifestyle.net\u002F",{"id":635,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":636,"author":637,"original_score":644,"normalized_score":46,"review_url":645,"review_date":527,"summary":646,"created_at":647,"updated_at":647,"author_id":638,"last_edited_at":647,"outlet":648},52069,43,{"id":638,"bio":19,"name":639,"avg_score":640,"outlet_id":19,"created_at":641,"profile_id":19,"updated_at":642,"claim_token":19,"article_count":643,"claimed_by_user_id":19},4412,"Caty McCarthy",69.0909090909091,"2025-01-23T08:40:25.131652-05:00","2025-07-08T18:36:00.317342-04:00",33,"4.0\u002F5","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vg247.com\u002F13-sentinels-aegis-rim-review-a-cruel-kaijus-thesis","Vanillaware's latest is a twisty sci-fi melodrama, with a bland side of RTS.","2025-01-23T09:52:03.768334-05:00",{"id":636,"logo":649,"name":650,"slug":651,"tags":122,"bluesky":652,"twitter":651,"youtube":653,"facebook":650,"mastodon":19,"muckrack":19,"claimed_at":19,"description":654,"website_url":655,"score_format":369,"average_score":102,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":19,"stats_updated_at":103,"headquarters_city":656,"news_editor_email":657,"platforms_covered":19,"claimed_by_user_id":19,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":153,"reviews_editor_email":657,"editor_in_chief_email":657,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVG247%20Logo.jpg","VG247","vg247","vg247.bsky.social","MrVg247","Eurogamer's red-headed stepbrother.
