In ACFA you need to go up close an personal, and here you use long range attacks with... no, no spoilers here at this time, maybe later.
Besides you can (and need to) shoot down incoming missiles from the Answerer. If the Engine dont stab me for it, there could be up to 80 missiles in one wave.
On the other side iam still thinking about, how you can protect yourselft from the Kojima lasers and the Assault Armor

wich is definitly overpowered.
