Sometimes you just want to bring a massive robot to a multiplayer gun fight, you know? If that sounds like you, Mech Arena will be your jam.

This game’s all about tooling yourself up, choosing a giant mech suit and engaging in real-time competitive battles.

How it plays: The core of Mech Arena is its short-burst 5v5 team battles. As you level up you can access tournaments, but Quick Match mode gives you intense fights that take a few minutes each – a bite-size adrenaline rush that won’t take up your whole lunch break.

Why we love it: The maps are perfectly designed – small enough to funnel teams together and initiate the battle swiftly, but with loads of twisty corners and cover to draw the action out.

Don’t miss: There are plenty of mech types and weapons to choose from and combine to build a robot that fits your tastes and strategy. Want to hang back and provide support fire? No problem! Prefer to be right in the thick of things taking on all comers? You got it.
