Mech Arena 9+

A great game with a skill based focus.

Mech Arena is a PvP mech battler that revolves big mechs fighting in a condensed arena. As a War Robots veteran, I was shocked to see the changes. The fast-paced aspect of firing and running around, (or walking with a slower mech) dealing and receiving damage or capturing a control point is undoubtedly more fun than War Robots’s slow aspect. War Robots is going down in popularity because of the issues with over-powered robots, pay-to-wins, and tankers (maxed individual who leaves battles to lower their rank to reap newbies). Mech Arena makes a main stream XP line that puts you with others with a decent matchmaking system. Pay-to-wins still exist, but are not an issue with the XP line. (Same with Tankers) Mech Arena also does not have the fancy Titans (which ultimately ruined the game), modules (no u I’m invincible), drones (hey look I’m healed at max buddy), motherships, (ez death button) etc; just one mech with 2 weapons, with different energy capacities. All mechs have different advantages and disadvantages, like lancer is great at scouting but cannot take a hit. War Robot’s Fafnir is basically “Shield with deletion gun and speed boost and [insert add on here].”
War Robots was fun, but Mech Arena was a game changer. My only gripes are the decent matchmaking (though not as bad as War Robots’s matchmaking), AI sometimes getting either retarded or strong, and the pop-ups. Despite these issues, Mech Arena is still a great Mech battler.

Bro these reviews

I love this game it is honestly one of my favorite mobile games! There is kind of a play to win aspect in the beginning but once you get to the higher divisions(I’m division 2 and haven’t spent a dime on this game) it balances itself out pretty well because most of the things that you can pay for you can eventually get through leveling up or events. Which there is some events that have pay to win tasks but they are optional, you can get all the rewards from the events by doing all the other tasks.

I will say the currency is a little wack, I feel like it’s harder to get credits then it is to get A coins but I kind of like that because this game is still newish and doesn’t have a ton of weapons and mechs yet so the currency imbalance makes it so people can’t binge play and reach top level mechs in just a few days.

The team pairing system is a little weird because there is the pay to win aspect so you can have a bunch of brand new players that don’t know what they are doing they just spent $100+ on a powerful Mech and disc launchers so now they are taking the express way to through the divisions but I feel like most of them get stuck at about divisions 5 or 4 because that’s when things even out so once you get past that nonsense I feel like the team match system gets a little better.

Uneven battles

This game is very fun to play. The only improvement so far that I can suggest is to make the battles more balanced. I’m new to this game, but I have some pretty strong mechs. They are just not strong enough as those that more veteran players have & use in the battles I get thrown into. Could you even out the experiences of the battle members, so they are a little more equal? Good game though. I just thought of another improvement. Make the game so players can sell back a Mech they no longer want. That would give each player more in-game money that they could use on their other mech(s). As far as I know, that would make this game one of the first, if not the first, games that does that. Think about it. Even more people would be drawn to this game. I have been playing this game for a few months now, & the balancing out of the tournament battles hasn’t got any better. It’s not bad when you can put together a team for tournament or other battles in the game using your Friends List to make a team, since then you know how strong your is. Unfortunately, when you go into battle on your own you can end up on a weak random team vs an incredibly strong random team. That just turns out to be a disaster that you lose big time, sometimes many times in a row. No one can win points that are needed that way. Since this is a game of competition, the top priority for an update should & would be balancing out the of the equality of the radom teams in battle. Please!
