Here is a small prologue anime short that is not in the game so feel free to watch it on YouTube:
Daemon X Machina is a more arcade-like take on the Armored Core gameplay. Former AC Producer Kenichiro Tsukuda did not hide this game's design heritage. Fast movements, both on the ground and in the air, are key. It's all about high-octane action and mobility. Throughout the campaign, you'll get the chance to team up with other mercenaries and eventually recruit them and bring them along to your missions. Or don't. 'Cause some of the are the worst.
You can stack your Arsenal mech with weapons (including swords!) on both left and right arms and both shoulders as well. In fact, everything is about customization. You can customize almost anything in the game. From the controls the HUD to your Arsenal's bodyparts, look, and weaponry. It's worth noting that the HUD is indeed entirely customizable. You can disable, move, and resize 100% every HUD element. Controls are completely remappable with several presets available on top of three slots for your own custom configurations.
The launch/overview trailer summarizes things quite neatly:
There are special co-op missions that can be played either through local wireless or online with up to four players total. These missions can also be played solo with the remaining slots filled by NPCs using the recruitment function.
Weapons, armor, and cash earned here can be used in the campaign.
A PvP Mode will be added some time after launch.

Orbital Database - as the name suggests, a database for all things DxM. Loot, boss stats, missions, etc.
But your go-to resource for loot and equipment stuff should also be Seil's magnificent spreadsheet:
Seil's loot/other stuff spreadsheet
For anyone interested, I've been tracking a lot of stuff from the demo in this spreadsheet. The oldest part is the first page with some mission loot stuff which could be improved. Formatting in general could be better, but this has basically just been a detailed notepad lol. I have info on like 30 attachments so far, and unlock conditions for a lot of decals and titles, though they'll generally just happen naturally.
I also experimented with ice cream to figure everything out there, as in the following tweet:
