Mech Arena - Shooting Game 12+

Like a war robots revive

I decided to download this after playing a few years of war robots and I must say this game is so much more fun. I’m less than a week in and I can already see how most of the game is going to play out and the battles I fight aren’t usually decided by just mechs alone. I’ll give an example if your looking to download this game, my top robot is currently panther and if used poorly and with a load out that doesn’t compliment itself you can end up placing an electric fence and dying, the load out I’m currently running on it is a long arm and one of the rocket launchers ( I forgot the name but in has javelins ) so it’s very long ranged and by playing backline while supporting the team with panthers shield I actually MVP 9/10 games.

I honestly just love this game because it does everything that war robots didn’t not even to mention the fact that I haven’t spent a cent on this game. Genuinely really nice game and I hope you keep up the work.

Fun but overpriced

This is a really fun game but after a while you have to spend some serious money or your progress will plateau. The pricing is really over the top and out of balance. One weapon this week costs $109, which you will need to buy in order to complete a bunch of challenges to progress your gameplay. The coins, keys and other in-game currencies are really expensive. For the money I would need to spend to enjoy this game long term I could buy a second hand PS4 and a bunch of games.
The other thing that needs addressing is the way the matches are made. You won’t stand a chance of winning if you come up against another player that has spent money levelling up their Mech or weapons. You can potentially come up against a player that is on a significantly lower level than you with nowhere near as much experience and you will have absolutely no chance of beating them. It takes away the need for skill or strategy to win and is very deflating for most players that are grinding away trying to make progress without spending hundreds of dollars. It will even impact you negatively if such a player is on your team because, even though you might win the match, you won’t have a chance to gain much experience or bonuses for yourself if they make all the kills.
Also, it seems like a money grab from the developers when the skin of a Mech, which is just for show, can set you back $20-$30.

Hey there! Like in most F2P games, in-game purchases in Mech Arena are optional. Even Uncommon Mechs that are easy to unlock and upgrade are still incredibly powerful with the right loadout. Visit our official YouTube channel and check out the Mech Spotlight series for some tips!

Great game, with it’s problems.

This game is a great game, combining online combat, with futuristic battle robots. The graphics are realistic and the game has a variety of mechs and weapons to choose from. There are some flaws in the game though, limited online gamemodes. (control point clash and deathmatches). So I’d suggest that more gamemodes should be added. Another flaw of the game is that around a third of the mechs and weapons can only be accessed from crates, and with the crates, you have to open them with specific tokens. But you have to pay for the tokens. I know, this season you can get them, but it’s only one token per derby. It really isn’t great. So I think we should at least make it available by a coins or tokens after the event, and that the special crates with mechs and weapons are there for people willing to pay the money for an early play. Restating this flaw, it should be that the crates let you get the mech/weapon earlier and should let players who don’t want to/can’t pay (kids) unlock it earlier on in the game, probably through the late progress pass.
