A great game with a skill based focus. Oct 22, 2021

By MrThe_Biscuit

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. more

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. more

Fun gameplay, amazing graphics, very fair match making. There is also a lot of variation and in mechs, weapons, and maps! I also like that you can only get 1 extra copy. The weapons and mechs have really cool mechanics! I have had a few lags, but my phone is definitely not the greatest. It has become more pay to win, with new mechs not added to the progress path and expensive events. Still very fun though! I get they need to make money, but it still really bites. I still recommend it for people! more

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! more
Good game but needs more bots Dec 18, 2021

By rockwell vogt

So the main problem I have with the game is that well not many options for robots I also want more unique effect weapons like a poison weapon or an emp weapon that will take effect after several shots just make sure that it’s credits for purchase and maybe more robots one idea I have is to have a flier as a scout one as an attacker that disables it’s weapon for a built in one for the flight and that can after some time cast a low damage poison emp (same as guardians) but also slows enamors by 25% activates what I call a refractor basically in flight it take 40% less damage and 5% of damage is returned to attackers and it also heals 2.5% HP on landing however as for drawbacks vulnerable on the ground with low health and mid energy capacity but great against high health mechs it’s name hawk. As for a new support a robot called raven it can provide air support and again disable it weapon for a built in one that does low damage but lowers damage and raises damage received whilst it heals its allies and itself as for drawbacks low armor and firepower. Need feed back want your opinion also in chat some guy called SYSTEM is trying to scam us with 5000 acoins more

Been playing this for a few weeks now. Overall, fairly good game. But, it's not very balanced. The guided missles make the game slightly unfun. When you've got 4 or 5 mechs just sitting in the back of a field doing nothing but shooting you from behind a wall with these guided missles, it just becomes an unfair match. The pay to play isn't to bad. Just make sure to save your credits and acoins. Mech upgrades get expensive fast. Also, the cost for u locking newer guns is way to high. more

By ziggy1960

I left robot wars as soon as I found this game it was simple fun balanced and your skills and experience counted for something. Then a funny thing happened, I like to call it the Robot Wars Syndrome , as more people discovered this fun and competitive game the developers immediately started adding more and more powerful bots and weapons that take a boat load of money to purchase. So much like robot wars, i began to come up against people who possessed a lot of money and bought the very expensive and exotic bots and weapons then upgraded them to be pretty much unbeatable. Couple that with the unbalanced match making and well you know the rest. It won’t be long before I get tired of being fodder for these Pay to Win players and move on to another game, all because I don’t spend half my paycheck or have a wealth mommy or daddy to buy bots and weapons for me so I can feel good about myself. It wouldn’t be so bad if you could sell back unused stuff like the overwhelming number of worthless skins you get free but will never use or if you could actually win enough to get some of those out of reach bots and weapons, but like Robot Wars they purposely put the type of coins or credits you need so high and make it nearly impossible to ever win enough of them that if you want to be a “winner” you gotta fork over the dough”. To bad really cause this WAS A GREAT GAME! more

Fantastic game, I play everyday. Only issues I have are #1 it's definitely a pay to win game. Meaning if you're not willing to fork out a small fortune you'll never make it into the leaderboards and #2 it gets glitchy from time to time and the servers have quite a bit of lag or delay when this happens. Other than that the game is over of the best I've played in YEARS more
Make this game not use space to play Apr 21, 2022

By mfhdjdj

You need space to download the game but it takes space just to launch and if you have a older iPhone version like the iPhone six s which only has eleven Giga bites and those get used up very fast by needed things on the phone and game data which you can’t get rid of unless you wipe the phone completely it can take up like five giga bites and updates taking up space is fine because there is no way to prevent that and I know that which is why that isn’t so annoying so please change this and what makes it more annoying is you can be playing it with the same storage at like one in the noon but at like five at noon it says you don’t have enough storage space to play this game which makes me want to play a different Mech fighting game but sense I have amazing Mech weapons I don’t want to lose those by getting a new game so please fix this. Besides that it has good game play but there are a lot of pop up ads for mechs, weapons for your Mech, and Mech skins along with a coins so if it is possible people with out money are just taunted with these and it is so annoying so I think you should do one big ad for all of these things so you don’t have to take two to three minutes just to get to the actual game that would be great. more

No ads! That's incredible these days! - This game seems a little P2W, though activity can fix that over time... Gotta make money somehow though. - The game looks amazing for phone, and the controls, while not perfect, are great! - I don't really like the limits that are set for certain points. The pop up ads can also get a little to much at times. - The UI takes a bit to learn. But everything else is relatively straight forward. more

Fun game, but every time I go back to the main screen after a match I have to decline 6 to 12 pushy purchase suggestions. Every time. I understand that you need the ads, but having to close the same pop up ads 20+ times a day is just excessive. It would be more reasonable for the same add to stop repeating after declining it. Just feels incredibly pushy the way it is. more
Getting too greedy. Jun 14, 2022

By Nothoppyatall.

The pay to play prices have always been ridiculous. But if I were too cheap I guess everyone would be maxed. I can’t imagine some must spend thousands to max out. I’ve been playing since December. But occasionally I will buy a weapon for under $10. Particularly to complete a challenge and get, typically 300 a-coins. The last challenge I paid my $8.99 for the Disc Launcher 16 and was unable to complete the challenge due to the only way to get 5 blueprints was to pay for a $15 upgrade package. All previous challenges I have never encountered that. They also changed their “premium” packages for a-coins. They kept the price the same but reduced the number of a-coins for the price and claim half of what you get is a bonus ie 14k coins was $100 but now it’s 8k+5.5k bonus. The 3-8 pop-ups everytime you open the app are worth being able to play for free. I played for free for months before I caved on a $3.99 weapon. And I did very well for spending nothing. I finally decided I’d had enough fun to justify spending a couple bucks on a weapon occasionally. I still do very well against all but maxed out players and occasionally I give one a run for their money. My biggest frustration is quite often someone with a decent mortar set up will shell you the whole game but never show on your radar so you never get a chance to fire back or even know where it’s coming from. more
Pay to win Jan 13, 2022

By Fozball

I’ve been playing Mech Arena since October of 2021. I’ve played it for so long cause… when it’s balanced and it works properly… it’s a really fun game to play. Problem is the first 1-2 matches you play any given day are against other players of your level. After that, you are constantly pitted against other mechs that are practically maxed out (The higher tier mechs are around $75 USD and the weapons they are using are around $45 USD. Afterwards, they spend WAY more than that maxing them out). You can unload your entire magazine on these mechs and only take away 10-20% of their health (if they spit on you, you’re dead). Plarium does this intentionally so you’ll get mad enough and buy the mech upgrades so you can compete against the people who already did buy the upgrades. Also, the bugs in this game are enough to drive you nuts. I have fallen through the floor, shot lower star mechs and they took zero damage, constantly run into invisible walls, and randomly the controls become unresponsive for a few seconds (but you can still fire or use your special move). The best one is where you target someone (using the javelin rack for example) and as soon as you tap fire, it targets a different mech you’re not even looking at. Lastly, I have gigabit internet and the lag can get REALLY bad. You’ll watch mechs start floating through the air or teleporting around. Plarium needs to fix their game and massively cut back on the pay to win mechanics. more

By Mitch A

It's a very fun game with good visuals, but it's been ruined by greed, unfortunately. There are a handful of mechs and weapons that are way over powered, and of course the only way to get them is money. You can also upgrade your gear with money, so you will always be behind if you are free to play. I have also noticed that it makes the ai on your team weaker than the other (probably so you lose more and want to buy stuff). Basically, it's pay to win :( Edit: their response is full of it more
Good game, Uneven Ads Jun 27, 2022

By Parker Madden C

Let me start off by saying I understand you need ads to employ your game developers, I completely get that. But let me make some recommendations that I think could be effective and not turn as many people away. If you study games that I think we could agree are successful, fortnite, Minecraft. The in-game purchases made are all cosmetics, however I do not suggest this. Honestly judging from how many ads there are now I’d say money needs to come in. What I suggest, is more realistic purchases. I get an add for $70 for literally one legendary gun, I gotta say, if you sold even one of those you are lucky. That is insanely overpriced, gas is $6 and you want $70 for a gun? That’s honestly offensive. I feel like that came off mean and I’m not trying to be, but cmon. The battle pass was great, I bought it. Worth the money. Then I get to guardian and I got spend more money to get him? As the final skin in the battle pass and Mech you have to spend real money on is absolutely ridiculous. Because of these reasons you will never get another purchase until some sense is made of this. I recommend lowering the prices for literally everything but the battle pass. And in return you will make more money than before. It seems like a risk, but study Minecraft, fortnite, call of duty. You have the player base to do this too. more

By Jaron

It's a fun game, great to play, but some of the events are bad let downs. You can complete everything to get a new mech or something cool but yet the last thing to do is with something you need way down the line of leveling up. The game also blows up in store related items or deals after logging in the game or getting out of a match. Constant x x x x x x x x x x! more
Jul 4, 2022

By Aspen Van

This game was fun before it went to pay to win. You can't get any of the newer mechs besides the events or you buy it, and when you get the coins to open the crates to get the mech you don't even get it! The a-coins are very hard to get and it makes some of the equipment overpriced and would take months of playing 24/7 too barely scratch the surface of the amount you need. The pop-up ads are even worse. As soon as you log in you are bombarded with "new" items when it's something you unlock. more
WAS a refreshing alternative to Pixonic’s cash grab. May 28, 2022

By beebobe

I am a four year War Robots veteran. I finally got tired of Pixonic’s business practices. Mech Arena is a fun, fast paced mech game. It has good graphics, fast frame rate, and is older device friendly. Economy seems fair so far. Investing $ is not required to stay competitive, but the rewards are worth the money you invest. So far, it’s one of those game where you are like “sure, I’ll throw in a few bucks to support the developer”. I have had a lot of fun the past few weeks. It’s definitely worth trying. If you like it, show the developer some love and invest a few bucks. You will get your money’s worth. Update: I still love the game, but take out the chat feature. It’s filled with people begging for in game currency. New Update I have been playing since the beta. Plarium has fallen into the greedy mobile gaming formula. I am so disappointed in the direction the game has gone in the past 18 months. No new maps or game modes. New weapons, bots, and pilots were added instead, which drain resources and really doesn’t add any new tactics or strategies. They no longer allow duplicate bots in a hanger. I get that and actually agree, but the compensation for losing my duplicate bots was garbage considering the money I invested in them. I quit playing, as I can no longer keep up with the wallet warriors. It was fun while it lasted. more
Pay to be Average Jul 12, 2022

By aspiringhitman

There’s pay to win, then there’s Mech Arena. I understand you need to have micro transactions in a free to play mobile game to turn a profit for the developers hard work. But this game is obscene. You get offers thrown at you left and right. You could buy those offers all day and still barely progress. First you have to unlock mechs and weapons. But those things aren’t worth anything until you power them up. But then you need blue prints to level up. But you also need credits. But you never get enough credits to buy the weapons you unlock. Or level up the mechs and weapons even if you have the blueprints. And regardless of how much you play you can’t gain more credits because games played doesn’t translate to more resources earned. Like a normal game would do. So literally the only way your going to progress through this game is to spend literally thousands of dollars. Or do your daily objectives for literally months, maybe years. Until you can become mediocre power with mediocre weapons. Horrible game design egregiously made in a way to extort money from people. Which is a shame cause the game itself looks amazing and is tons of fun to play. Until you pass the tutorial and the first few intro battles and realize your no longer able to do damage to anyone. Side note: all the people on Youatube that more
Used to be great…getting greedy… Jul 15, 2022

By BeepTheBot

When I started this game it was nice and fun with little to no pop-ups, harder to get the prototype mechs that WERE NOT purchasable by money yet, and the people that did have them were in other servers. Sometime I wanted to play something else but when I came back it was not what is used to be. Take “Battle Bay” for example. It does not include so many pop-ups and the servers are usually fair. I hope this game does not become one of those pay-to-win games that are so severe that there are little to no players that don’t spend money. I also hope you at least cut in half the pop-ups that don’t even close easily. I suggest you stop making so much new mech’s since every single one is not purchasable by A-coins or credits. The price for the mechs and weapons are probably only reachable either via real money or via grinding for a year. It’s surprisingly hard to get A-coins which you guys are not happy with giving out bucketloads of… Please at least make it easier to get A-coins and stop making new mechs since the old load out was fine enough (too many choices that are also business opportunities) If you do do not want to change these, then at least get rid of those dozens of pop-ups. more

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. more
Good game but needs more bots Dec 18, 2021

By rockwell vogt

So the main problem I have with the game is that well not many options for robots I also want more unique effect weapons like a poison weapon or an emp weapon that will take effect after several shots just make sure that it’s credits for purchase and maybe more robots one idea I have is to have a flier as a scout one as an attacker that disables it’s weapon for a built in one for the flight and that can after some time cast a low damage poison emp (same as guardians) but also slows enamors by 25% activates what I call a refractor basically in flight it take 40% less damage and 5% of damage is returned to attackers and it also heals 2.5% HP on landing however as for drawbacks vulnerable on the ground with low health and mid energy capacity but great against high health mechs it’s name hawk. As for a new support a robot called raven it can provide air support and again disable it weapon for a built in one that does low damage but lowers damage and raises damage received whilst it heals its allies and itself as for drawbacks low armor and firepower. Need feed back want your opinion also in chat some guy called SYSTEM is trying to scam us with 5000 acoins more

Fantastic game, I play everyday. Only issues I have are #1 it's definitely a pay to win game. Meaning if you're not willing to fork out a small fortune you'll never make it into the leaderboards and #2 it gets glitchy from time to time and the servers have quite a bit of lag or delay when this happens. Other than that the game is over of the best I've played in YEARS more

No ads! That's incredible these days! - This game seems a little P2W, though activity can fix that over time... Gotta make money somehow though. - The game looks amazing for phone, and the controls, while not perfect, are great! - I don't really like the limits that are set for certain points. The pop up ads can also get a little to much at times. - The UI takes a bit to learn. But everything else is relatively straight forward. more

Really cool game. No annoying ads. Yes, the game has ads for its own items, but nothing bad at all Definitely playable without having to pay. But obviously, you can tell who spends money when you see someone with an outrageously high ranked item. lol But still lots of fun. Just don't get caught up with the need to have every item. Just have fun. more

Best mech combat simulator I've played. Great graphics, smooth control, great game. After their reply I still believe mechs are often too expensive, but have to agree the pricing model does allow for players on any budget to have an enjoyable experience. Added note, I have had two experiences with support. One was decided against me and one for. Both decisions made sense and they showed great patience with my repeated explanation requests. A+ on support. more
A great Mech battler Dec 18, 2020

By shadowcat1009

I’ve played my share of Mech games, from the original Mech warrior to war robots (or as it was originally called, walking war robots before it became p2w lol) to Mech battle and battle of titans (BOT). But this is slightly different cause it’s more of an Esports Mech shooter, similar to hawken. It’s fast paced and the controls are tight. You can also customize the layout of your hud and whether to use and/or change between two different aim assist options. And the game has a radar! Not many Mobil Mech games have that so use it lol. My only complaint is it gets harder to save up in game currency. But as long as you’re a good player, you’ll do fine if you’re willing to play the game often enough. Ive played it almost everyday for the past month or two and haven’t lost any interest in it. Also, I’d like to reassure that the balancing on the mechs is very good, because they can only carry two weapons lol. But go ahead and give this game a try, and hopefully you’ll get to play with the shadowcat sometime :) more

Absolutely must try! A ton of fun and seemingly unlimited mixtures of mech units, weapons, pilots and special abilities! There was an issue when I first started and got bombarded with pop-ups for in game purchases but that seems to be fixed now. Still get 1-3 on log in but definitely not like it was. No complaints besides sometimes when in pvp people seem invincible or maybe a little too accurate even with auto targeting haha. more

This is a great game. The only thing I don't like is that the c-coins were easier to get there hard to get after a while. I wish that there were more modes like capture the flag where you start with 3 flags and they are hidden around the map and once you fid the flag you walk/run over it it appears on your head and then you run/walk back to your base and if you die then the flag drops where you are and the enemy teem can take it back to their base or a teem mate could take it to your base. 😀:D more

Fun gameplay, amazing graphics, very fair match making. There is also a lot of variation and in mechs, weapons, and maps! I also like that you can only get 1 extra copy. The weapons and mechs have really cool mechanics! I have had a few lags, but my phone is definitely not the greatest. It has become more pay to win, with new mechs not added to the progress path and expensive events. Still very fun though! I get they need to make money, but it still really bites. I still recommend it for people! more
Jul 21, 2022

By Aaron Hall

Been playing this for a few weeks now. Overall, fairly good game. But, it's not very balanced. The guided missles make the game slightly unfun. When you've got 4 or 5 mechs just sitting in the back of a field doing nothing but shooting you from behind a wall with these guided missles, it just becomes an unfair match. The pay to play isn't to bad. Just make sure to save your credits and acoins. Mech upgrades get expensive fast. Also, the cost for u locking newer guns is way to high. more
Make this game not use space to play Apr 21, 2022

By mfhdjdj

You need space to download the game but it takes space just to launch and if you have a older iPhone version like the iPhone six s which only has eleven Giga bites and those get used up very fast by needed things on the phone and game data which you can’t get rid of unless you wipe the phone completely it can take up like five giga bites and updates taking up space is fine because there is no way to prevent that and I know that which is why that isn’t so annoying so please change this and what makes it more annoying is you can be playing it with the same storage at like one in the noon but at like five at noon it says you don’t have enough storage space to play this game which makes me want to play a different Mech fighting game but sense I have amazing Mech weapons I don’t want to lose those by getting a new game so please fix this. Besides that it has good game play but there are a lot of pop up ads for mechs, weapons for your Mech, and Mech skins along with a coins so if it is possible people with out money are just taunted with these and it is so annoying so I think you should do one big ad for all of these things so you don’t have to take two to three minutes just to get to the actual game that would be great. more

By Remy Pavon

Very fun. You can progress through the game in a slow but still fun way. Large variety of playstyle for your mech. If you like slow and tough, there is a mech for that. If you like fast and dangerous, there is a mech for that. Beam weapons, missle weapons, sniper weapons, shotguns. Lots of fun gear. There are a lot of pop-up ads and other prompts to make purchases, however. more

This game has a lot of potential, and it already is pretty good. The graphics are good and the gameplay is fun. It's just now it needs to be refined. For me it seems the game is a little glitchy. It crashes every 15 minutes or so, and when I'm in a battle, my mech does a weird thing where it locks on to the closest enemy instead of the one I'm looking at, so when I'm trying to shoot them it messes up my aim. Also, I noticed the enemy AI will target players instead of other enemy AI. more
Good Game but Needs Tweaking Sep 17, 2021

By Ashton Martinez (Trance)

After playing Mech arena for a few weeks, close to a month. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite mobile games but just because it is one of my favorites doesn’t mean I’m gonna say it doesn’t have flaws. Let’s start off with the good though, for starters it gives you a really good tutorial and some great mechs to start off with. While paragon might not be the best he is common and easy to upgrade. Juggernaut has the highest HP of any tank Mech when fully maxed out and as you progress you’ll be able to get there. Panther has one of the greatest universal shields and Killshot can deal a lot of damage early to late game. However, most people buy the packs for more expensive mechs like Guardian, Ares, Zephyr, and etc. this makes it really easy for them to overpower you in the early to mid game. But unless you have boatloads of cash to spend you do hit a wall. Tournament will allow free to play players who grind smarter not harder to earn a coins and credits to catch up to these whales. And some of the Mech abilities last way to long Zephyr mostly. With a few tweaks to some mechs, or even overhauling paragon to have a better ability I think that this game can be a fun experience for everyone. more
A step in a better direction Feb 11, 2022

By Corporal_Heath45

From making mech combat more efficient, simpler, and faster-paced, Plarium has not only cleverly merged the best of Games like Valorant and War Robots, but have successfully made it feel almost realistic. If that’s not enough, creativity here is often a lot more open than just slapping the biggest and baddest looking guns on the biggest and fastest and toughest mech. That said, the game isn’t perfect. There is no good means of communicating with teammates, even though this game is structured like tactical strategic games. Perhaps this is a premium benefit, but then the game would only be tactical for premium members. Finally, some weapons are incredibly overpowered, the Arc Torrent being a prime example. Others seem too underpowered in the later game to have any noteworthy effect on the battles. So while I have firmly converted from War Robots to Mech Arena, these two things keep me from giving this the review I believe it otherwise deserves. This game is truly a people’s game. You will win by skill and knowing your mechs and your maps, not bu cash whaling. So despite the four stars, it’s still definitely worth playing it. Excellence is rewarded, not lining the developers’ pockets. more

By Kendall Beresford

Very fun game! It is nice to find something close to a real game on a mobile device. the ads seem overwhelming when you first start the game but, fairly non existant afterwards. It can feel a bit unfair when other purchase better weapons but, it does not detract from the game much. I wouldnt let my kid play it with some sort of lock on payments. some of the purchases are insanely expensive. more
Balanced??? Dec 25, 2021

By CaptainCorsair

I like these kinda games as much as the next guy. I’ll even put some money down occasionally. But I respect a game that maintains it’s free to play as well as pay to win boundaries. I see a lot of frustration from players who’ve been loyal for a long time and are struggling to keep up with players who dump loads of money into the game only to overtake everything. The balance seems to be moving towards the pay to win aspect. It’s almost impossible to simply grind to level up one weapon or Mech at the cost of 2,500+ A-coins. Like, I even expected some sort of giveaway with the holidays. There were some decent deals, but that’s about it. What’s the point of tons of blueprints if you can’t keep up the currency to pay for all of it? Hopefully the developers see this and find a way to balance it to where those who don’t dump hundreds of dollars a month into the game can grind enough to at least enjoy the game. I know I would appreciate it. In any case, love the game. I switched over from Pixonic’s game because of it, but I don’t want it to fallow their lead, cause you just end up losing an important fan base. more
Pretty good game, but greedy Jul 13, 2022

By holly hills16

The game has great gameplay and graphics, and a good matchmaking system. However, that doesn’t mean that the battles are necessary even. Another thing I’ve noticed is that from the start of the game it gives you pop up offers that can give you good things for a relatively low price. I’ve been playing for a while, and as you go along, the pop up’s often get more expensive and mechs will cost more in game currency to purchase, such as Surge and Redox. Another thing is that when a new mech releases, it often has an event where you have to buy tokens to gamble and hope you get the new mech. The most recent example is the new Orion mech. I spent $50 trying to get the Aegis mech (fortunately I was successful) it’s the same thing with new weapons, but they are less expensive. I would suggest that the game should give you tokens for the event crates as long as the event is going on. That way you have a chance to get the mech without having to spend so much money. Another thing is they should add a female voice option for mechs. Just saying… more

Uneven battles Dec 31, 2021

By 1Tomek1

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! more
WAS a great game Nov 26, 2021

By ziggy1960

I left robot wars as soon as I found this game it was simple fun balanced and your skills and experience counted for something. Then a funny thing happened, I like to call it the Robot Wars Syndrome , as more people discovered this fun and competitive game the developers immediately started adding more and more powerful bots and weapons that take a boat load of money to purchase. So much like robot wars, i began to come up against people who possessed a lot of money and bought the very expensive and exotic bots and weapons then upgraded them to be pretty much unbeatable. Couple that with the unbalanced match making and well you know the rest. It won’t be long before I get tired of being fodder for these Pay to Win players and move on to another game, all because I don’t spend half my paycheck or have a wealth mommy or daddy to buy bots and weapons for me so I can feel good about myself. It wouldn’t be so bad if you could sell back unused stuff like the overwhelming number of worthless skins you get free but will never use or if you could actually win enough to get some of those out of reach bots and weapons, but like Robot Wars they purposely put the type of coins or credits you need so high and make it nearly impossible to ever win enough of them that if you want to be a “winner” you gotta fork over the dough”. To bad really cause this WAS A GREAT GAME! more
Fun game, soon to be ruined Apr 2, 2022

By Dabstatic

So far I really do enjoy the gameplay 4/5. -could use more game modes & maybe bigger maps with more players. It’s populated, and people seem to be active. The game does make you want to progress through the ranks and upgrade your mechs, pilots and gear. However getting the upgrade feels less than satisfactory. None the less, it still makes you want more. Here is the issue. It starts with 1 or 2 ads for some micro transaction. No problem, this game has to run somehow. Then you get through the tutorial, and it increases to about 5 or 6 ads that pop up back to back, lag the game, and don’t always want to close. Annoying, but still able to deal with. Now here we are, just coming out of the novice rank. 15-20 ads pop up. Back to back. You must close them all one by one before you can do anything. If someone is going to spend money on this game, surely they see they are able to do so with the first few ads. It is absolutely ridiculous to throw 20 ads up as soon as you log in the game, and I expect this prevents other players with lesser quality phones from even playing. Make a tab for all the ongoing sales, and show the new sales once as a pop up. Otherwise, unless players are willling to click through the same 20 ads every log in or restart, this game is lost. more
Potential but grossly imbalanced. May 29, 2022

By Wezilla40

It’s not a bad game but it is very pay too win and the discrepancy between guns and Mech abilities is super wide. Mech abilities should be more utility rather than just shutting down the other mechs, those mechs are very out of reach for free to play and grossly overpower you. Certain weapons just annihilate you with little in the way of counterplay, especially when paired with those exact mechs. It can be fun when pitted against fair teams. The more I play the more it seems more and more pay to win. Everything is smooth, maps are designed well, no complaints there. The AI is a little dumb but that’s kinda normal. Still the biggest complaint is the shutdown mechanic on zephyr and guardian are way too strong and the best guns and mechs you literally can’t get without buying them. Again, I think Mech abilities should be more utility rather than just rendering other mechs useless via an ability. Problem is that people do pay for those things so, in my opinion, the proper free to play model (as far as fairness goes) is squashed by the bottom line. The proper model, again subjective I guess, is cosmetics, not power. Riot and league of legends SHOULD be the model, they have no pay to win, it’s literally all cosmetic and they have raked it in for years. more
Jul 27, 2022

By Suharev Dima

This game could have been amazing. Instead the developers ruined it by: 1. Restrictions on gaining XP and battle points. There is a daily limit to how much you can earn 2. It becomes exponentially harder to upgrade your bots the further you progress without paying, so if you are not willing to spend some serious coin, this game may not be for you. The list goes on, I just can't fit all of it here. more
Jul 12, 2022

By Seth Schultz

Overall it's a pretty fun arena game for a while, but not something to put money into. Balance feels off. It's too easy early on, then as you progress through ranks it becomes harder to win matches. There are weapons and pilots that you can only buy with real money and the items change daily/weekly. So you might have to log in for months or years to get some items. Most weapons come in sets of two when you unlock or buy them, however some you only get one and it doesn't say that anywhere. more
Fun game, needs work. Aug 14, 2022

By khryphie

This game has potential, but every time I open the app I am bombarded by at least 10 pop ups for in game purchases. This is really annoying and is making me not want to play the game as I don’t want to go through the process of having to close out of each pop up individually every time I want to play. Please make an option to opt out of these pop ups, if someone wants to buy something they will go to the in game shop. If not, at least figure out a way to make it only one pop up that scrolls or something please, it is making the game unbearable. For the gameplay, I’ve also found that it is extremely frustrating playing against people who have rocket mortar weapons. They can sit all the way on the opposite side of the map and their weapons can still easily take you out in one shot. I’ve seen many people with these weapons hide in spawn and still manage to wipe out teammates multiple times. It is not fun to play against as it doesn’t really require any skill, please fix this weapon. It is also making the gameplay experience not pleasant and is another reason why I don’t want to play anymore. more
It is well though out but… Sep 11, 2021

By H00fster

Some of these mechanics are pretty broken. Killshot’s area of effect for his special can hit far above where he actually is but conversely doesn’t effect below him. Zephyr, though he doesn’t have that much health, the range and length of time that he can lockdown mechs is probably a third longer than it should be. Pending on the weapon Zephyr can reload before his special is up. Additionally the pay to win is hefty with this game. For example, it takes 8,275 a-coins in order to purchase the Carbine 8 after you played enough to unlock it. Been playing a little over a month now and in total I haven’t been able to acquire that amount of a-coins through daily’s. A-coins are also needed to upgrade weapons and mechs as well as purchase other mechs and weapons, so to save up enough you set yourself way back from the competition in the game. Lack of being able to upgrade in order to save up can’t be off-set by player ability the higher up you go. Definitely some balancing is needed in future patches. But for now the game is a blast and most folks who dump cash into it aren’t that good. more
Good game but… Feb 7, 2022

By spend28

First off, this game became of interest to me after spending lots of time and money playing that other robot game (you know the one). There are numerous differences between the two, and each stands up as a decent game on their own. However, I’ve been playing Mech Arena for enough time now to know where it’s headed and I’m not pleased. What will likely bring my departure from the game is it’s current trajectory. The new pilot and implant features have brought with them two new currencies to the game. It was the same thing with the other game. Pilots, drones, chips, titans, motherships. All that junk nobody asked for yet is going to be needed to succeed and progress effectively is ushered in with new ways to acquire them. Namely new coins and currency. There will be more down the pipeline I’m sure. Which at some point soon will be leaving this game too. I get that they have to generate revenue. I’m not adverse to dropping some coin for something I like. But because it appears as if they are going the same route as that other game (gratuitous costs incurred), my days are probably numbered here. For what it’s worth, it is still a fun time more
Was fun while it lasted (not long sadly) Sep 21, 2021

By 4-Jack

I lost all fun once I made it to division 4, literally went from having fun to playing against people whose entire life it seems is to do nothing but play this game 24/7. Resource management is SO messed up its honestly ridiculous, the amount of resources needed to make ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE to literally EVERY weapon OR mech is ridiculous, I spend like a whole play session, roughly 2-4 hours, just to even level up 1 thing and have it mean nothing. Matchmaking is based off your division your in and it’s honestly baffling how incompetent and idiotic any and all teammates are while the enemies seems to always know everything and anything, sometimes I feel like I’m playing with 4 brand new players who somehow BOUGHT a D4 account without any practice in the game while the enemy team is a 5 stack and I’m barely able to deal half an enemies mech health before I die. Honestly I suffer playing this game almost instantly, after maybe 1 or 2 games is all I can play before I no longer can have fun more

Fun game, but every time I go back to the main screen after a match I have to decline 6 to 12 pushy purchase suggestions. Every time. I understand that you need the ads, but having to close the same pop up ads 20+ times a day is just excessive. It would be more reasonable for the same add to stop repeating after declining it. Just feels incredibly pushy the way it is. more
Getting too greedy. Jun 14, 2022

By Nothoppyatall.

The pay to play prices have always been ridiculous. But if I were too cheap I guess everyone would be maxed. I can’t imagine some must spend thousands to max out. I’ve been playing since December. But occasionally I will buy a weapon for under $10. Particularly to complete a challenge and get, typically 300 a-coins. The last challenge I paid my $8.99 for the Disc Launcher 16 and was unable to complete the challenge due to the only way to get 5 blueprints was to pay for a $15 upgrade package. All previous challenges I have never encountered that. They also changed their “premium” packages for a-coins. They kept the price the same but reduced the number of a-coins for the price and claim half of what you get is a bonus ie 14k coins was $100 but now it’s 8k+5.5k bonus. The 3-8 pop-ups everytime you open the app are worth being able to play for free. I played for free for months before I caved on a $3.99 weapon. And I did very well for spending nothing. I finally decided I’d had enough fun to justify spending a couple bucks on a weapon occasionally. I still do very well against all but maxed out players and occasionally I give one a run for their money. My biggest frustration is quite often someone with a decent mortar set up will shell you the whole game but never show on your radar so you never get a chance to fire back or even know where it’s coming from. more
Jul 11, 2022

By Mitch A

It's a very fun game with good visuals, but it's been ruined by greed, unfortunately. There are a handful of mechs and weapons that are way over powered, and of course the only way to get them is money. You can also upgrade your gear with money, so you will always be behind if you are free to play. I have also noticed that it makes the ai on your team weaker than the other (probably so you lose more and want to buy stuff). Basically, it's pay to win :( Edit: their response is full of it more
Good game, Uneven Ads Jun 27, 2022

By Parker Madden C

Let me start off by saying I understand you need ads to employ your game developers, I completely get that. But let me make some recommendations that I think could be effective and not turn as many people away. If you study games that I think we could agree are successful, fortnite, Minecraft. The in-game purchases made are all cosmetics, however I do not suggest this. Honestly judging from how many ads there are now I’d say money needs to come in. What I suggest, is more realistic purchases. I get an add for $70 for literally one legendary gun, I gotta say, if you sold even one of those you are lucky. That is insanely overpriced, gas is $6 and you want $70 for a gun? That’s honestly offensive. I feel like that came off mean and I’m not trying to be, but cmon. The battle pass was great, I bought it. Worth the money. Then I get to guardian and I got spend more money to get him? As the final skin in the battle pass and Mech you have to spend real money on is absolutely ridiculous. Because of these reasons you will never get another purchase until some sense is made of this. I recommend lowering the prices for literally everything but the battle pass. And in return you will make more money than before. It seems like a risk, but study Minecraft, fortnite, call of duty. You have the player base to do this too. more
May 26, 2022

By Jaron

It's a fun game, great to play, but some of the events are bad let downs. You can complete everything to get a new mech or something cool but yet the last thing to do is with something you need way down the line of leveling up. The game also blows up in store related items or deals after logging in the game or getting out of a match. Constant x x x x x x x x x x! more
Used to be great…getting greedy… Jul 15, 2022

By BeepTheBot

When I started this game it was nice and fun with little to no pop-ups, harder to get the prototype mechs that WERE NOT purchasable by money yet, and the people that did have them were in other servers. Sometime I wanted to play something else but when I came back it was not what is used to be. Take “Battle Bay” for example. It does not include so many pop-ups and the servers are usually fair. I hope this game does not become one of those pay-to-win games that are so severe that there are little to no players that don’t spend money. I also hope you at least cut in half the pop-ups that don’t even close easily. I suggest you stop making so much new mech’s since every single one is not purchasable by A-coins or credits. The price for the mechs and weapons are probably only reachable either via real money or via grinding for a year. It’s surprisingly hard to get A-coins which you guys are not happy with giving out bucketloads of… Please at least make it easier to get A-coins and stop making new mechs since the old load out was fine enough (too many choices that are also business opportunities) If you do do not want to change these, then at least get rid of those dozens of pop-ups. more
Great game before pushing Pay to win Jul 28, 2022

By ShawnY8407

The game was great before every weapon got huge range upgrades with implants. Now it’s gone from having to be skilled at long range to every weapon being a ranged weapon with few needing much skill. Somehow mechs are healing when hit or low on health. I have been playing forever and have not found this skill or implant. I’ve seen the missile launcher rank 8 hitting my mechs or friendly mechs THROUGH walls when you see the misses even hit a wall further out. Some of the mortar icons aren’t showing and then you die and it shows the enemy but no icon. Mainly the game has gotten ridiculous when not all the weapons are available outside of spending real money. Match making most of the time results in me stuck with a horrible team, whether they are bots or newbies. As a top tier player I shouldn’t be stuck with all new players and be expected to carry an entire team. New events are truly dependent on getting legendary heroes by spending real money. Legendary weapons are so small a chance with tokens that you have to spend HUGE amounts of real money to get them. Remove the pay to win PLEASE. The game was HUGELY better before you made it a cow and began heavily milking it more
This game has brought me more hate than enjoyment Aug 3, 2022

By Lucas C Kelly

I have been playing for around 7-5 months and have been constantly been putting in immense amounts of work for this game to get to where I am, spending time that I could have and should have spent sleeping, and I have not been given nearly enough for that work. I play this game for probably around two hours a day, at most three hours. I rarely get any feelings of success or achievement, and feel failure more than most of the time. I had an eight in a row win streak, which meant I had one more win until I got the event token for the Voltaic-RPG, a limited weapon in the game. On the ninth round, I get paired against a pay-to-winner, or better put someone whose unfairly stronger than me. I spent hours grinding to get to where I was just to be crapply tossed over. The bots aim are unrealistically overpowered, and the game is overall full of screw you (over) moments. Do not waste your time or money on this game, it may have been good if it wasn’t rigged, pay-to-win and so difficult to advance. Thank you for reading. more
Decent Mechanics, But Currently Unfair for F2P Sep 21, 2021

By ZWayfarer

A week ago I joined this game, and decided to purchase the rare Guardian mech when it was offered to me on a discounted price. Since then I played this game three times or more everyday until I am out of the required energy for matches. With that mech I am so OP I end up MVP in almost every match, regardless of the type of game. It’s not that it’s no longer a challenge for me, but feels unfair that I am so much more powerful than F2P players who also started playing a week ago, and I hadn’t noticed an option to put myself in matches that mostly have the same tier of mechs. For all of that I uninstalled the app until there are updates that makes it where F2P has more options than paid players as I was. EDIT: Also noticed other reviews about this issue, and one of the developer’s responses was only to disregard it with a reply, “Have tons of fun!” That doesn’t leave me with a good impression that they have interest in making it fair for F2P players. more

By It crashes every 5 seconds

I know whoever it is has some way to curate reviews so this will probably never see the light of day. Anyway. The game is functional. It also just happens to be the same totally unbalanced pay to win garbage that almost every other mobile game is. It’s a simple, neat concept. But heaven forbid you go five seconds without being barraged with ten advertisements for micro-transactions that the next guy to kill you will have made. Actual skill plays so little into how the game goes, and there’s so little variety in combat that I’m not exactly sure why anyone sticks with it for long. The existence of, say, support mechs is totally vestigial. Silly. Because there’s no way to strategize with a team of randos. Combat basically consists of whoever buys the biggest gun first wins. Maybe things get better at the top where everyone has the big guns, but of course, plenty of them are only even available for premium currency. So good luck! Not worth the time. Let alone your money. more

Pay to win Jan 13, 2022

By Fozball

I’ve been playing Mech Arena since October of 2021. I’ve played it for so long cause… when it’s balanced and it works properly… it’s a really fun game to play. Problem is the first 1-2 matches you play any given day are against other players of your level. After that, you are constantly pitted against other mechs that are practically maxed out (The higher tier mechs are around $75 USD and the weapons they are using are around $45 USD. Afterwards, they spend WAY more than that maxing them out). You can unload your entire magazine on these mechs and only take away 10-20% of their health (if they spit on you, you’re dead). Plarium does this intentionally so you’ll get mad enough and buy the mech upgrades so you can compete against the people who already did buy the upgrades. Also, the bugs in this game are enough to drive you nuts. I have fallen through the floor, shot lower star mechs and they took zero damage, constantly run into invisible walls, and randomly the controls become unresponsive for a few seconds (but you can still fire or use your special move). The best one is where you target someone (using the javelin rack for example) and as soon as you tap fire, it targets a different mech you’re not even looking at. Lastly, I have gigabit internet and the lag can get REALLY bad. You’ll watch mechs start floating through the air or teleporting around. Plarium needs to fix their game and massively cut back on the pay to win mechanics. more

This game was fun before it went to pay to win. You can't get any of the newer mechs besides the events or you buy it, and when you get the coins to open the crates to get the mech you don't even get it! The a-coins are very hard to get and it makes some of the equipment overpriced and would take months of playing 24/7 too barely scratch the surface of the amount you need. The pop-up ads are even worse. As soon as you log in you are bombarded with "new" items when it's something you unlock. more
WAS a refreshing alternative to Pixonic’s cash grab. May 28, 2022

By beebobe

I am a four year War Robots veteran. I finally got tired of Pixonic’s business practices. Mech Arena is a fun, fast paced mech game. It has good graphics, fast frame rate, and is older device friendly. Economy seems fair so far. Investing $ is not required to stay competitive, but the rewards are worth the money you invest. So far, it’s one of those game where you are like “sure, I’ll throw in a few bucks to support the developer”. I have had a lot of fun the past few weeks. It’s definitely worth trying. If you like it, show the developer some love and invest a few bucks. You will get your money’s worth. Update: I still love the game, but take out the chat feature. It’s filled with people begging for in game currency. New Update I have been playing since the beta. Plarium has fallen into the greedy mobile gaming formula. I am so disappointed in the direction the game has gone in the past 18 months. No new maps or game modes. New weapons, bots, and pilots were added instead, which drain resources and really doesn’t add any new tactics or strategies. They no longer allow duplicate bots in a hanger. I get that and actually agree, but the compensation for losing my duplicate bots was garbage considering the money I invested in them. I quit playing, as I can no longer keep up with the wallet warriors. It was fun while it lasted. more
Pay to be Average Jul 12, 2022

By aspiringhitman

There’s pay to win, then there’s Mech Arena. I understand you need to have micro transactions in a free to play mobile game to turn a profit for the developers hard work. But this game is obscene. You get offers thrown at you left and right. You could buy those offers all day and still barely progress. First you have to unlock mechs and weapons. But those things aren’t worth anything until you power them up. But then you need blue prints to level up. But you also need credits. But you never get enough credits to buy the weapons you unlock. Or level up the mechs and weapons even if you have the blueprints. And regardless of how much you play you can’t gain more credits because games played doesn’t translate to more resources earned. Like a normal game would do. So literally the only way your going to progress through this game is to spend literally thousands of dollars. Or do your daily objectives for literally months, maybe years. Until you can become mediocre power with mediocre weapons. Horrible game design egregiously made in a way to extort money from people. Which is a shame cause the game itself looks amazing and is tons of fun to play. Until you pass the tutorial and the first few intro battles and realize your no longer able to do damage to anyone. Side note: all the people on Youatube that more
Down The Tube Jun 19, 2022

By HickRoss1

This game has went down the tubes from when it first came out. If it isn’t the pay to win aspect of the game it is things being altered so bad that it makes no sense to stay in the game. A-Coins is a great example. A few months ago we were able to get a decent amount of A-Coins for the money we were asked to pay. Now they have taken the amount and dropped it by what feels (but isn't) more than half. The amount they dropped the amount of A-Coins was about one third of what we used to get. I left this game a couple months ago because I was tired of getting screwed over by the Dev team. What I mean by this was the recent “nerf” they didn’t know about to the Shotgun 8’s. In my mind they knew about it and done it intentionally just to see if they could get by with it. I am sick and tired of the stuff this company is doing to this game. I know money has to be made to keep the servers up and to pay your employees. But you don’t need to make it all off of one person. This is the same reason I left War Robots over 2 years ago. I am not sure if I will come back to this game for any reason. But if I do I highly doubt that I will give this company another dime of my money unless they change a lot of things back to the way they were before greed sat in. more
Was fun but now it’s horrible Apr 22, 2022

By Beth0r

I loved this game for such a long time and got multiple people playing it I’ve spent a lot of money on this game and I’ve encouraged others to do so as well. The game is in such a sorry state I feel the new name should be Mech bots. Because let’s face it I just played about 12 games and every single time my team was full of bots I think I saw one real person on my team. the developers are out to make money they had a game that was extremely fun and a lot of people enjoyed it and now everyone is saying the same thing avoid this game like the plague. For everyone who has not hit that wall yet enjoy your time because once that wall comes it comes hard fast and it slaps you in the face saying thank you for wasting your time how can we take more money from you. I had such a great win ratio until the past couple months now it seems like for every 10 games I play I might be lucky if I win three of them. I have seven more matches to play to finish my battle pass. I am dreading every single game the only reason I’m finishing my battle pass is because I already paid for it and At least want to get those last seven matches under my belt so I can say I completed my second battle pass the unfortunate part is you’ll never get another dime from me. more

Excessive number of pop ups, there are a dozen or so upon booting up the game and they occasionally reappear when going to the hanger after a match. Otherwise the gameplay is fun. Also the game heavily favors players that pay into it, and requires you to buy something to progress a "free" in game event, otherwise you can't get the main awarf since you come up short of the event tokens needed more
I like the game but there are some problems. Jun 27, 2022

By gufudsdjgigydtdyf

I like the game but there are some problems. I notice that other players are using special attacks and they are able to jump, heal, and rush other players. I can’t find anything that tells me how to do this in the app or online. And how can 1 person get 2 out of the 3 VIP spots? I have spent alot of money in mobile games before but I can’t see spending any money in this one when I can’t even find instructions on how to use my Mechs to their fullest ability. And it’s pretty annoying when I get hit with what feels like 7 pop ups the moment I log on. Fun to play +3 stars. To many ads/pop ups -1 star. Can’t find instructions-1 star. Edit: I changed to one star and uninstalled the game. I don’t understand how some players can get into places that are unreachable by other people and continually pick you off. Is it something they pay for? I enjoyed the game in the beginning but I think almost every game I’ve played was on 2-3 different maps. It felt like I was playing the same game over and over again. I think I was playing against more bots than people and it felt like the game was becoming unbalanced. more
Pay to Win Jul 7, 2022

By Imfinnakillu

“We believe pay to win is bad for a game”. THEN STOP MAKING THE GAME PAY TO WIN! Your “events” that players can earn resources in CAN STRAIGHT UP BE WON BY SPENDING MONEY! Some events you can’t even complete without spending. THAT IS PAY TO WIN “But we believe our favorable review score means we’re still going in the right direction.” FIRST OF ALL, HALF OF PEOPLE WHO PLAYED A MONTH AGO HAVE QUIT! SECONDLY, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DELETE REVIEWS! And don’t tell me you don’t, but the store can if we violate the rules. I know that’s a lie. Plenty of people have left reviews that obey all the rules and still found it deleted. Do you just think we’re not paying attention? You only want to use the favorable review score as an excuse to ignore your players, and you think you can always rope in new players as long as you have that favorable score WITHOUT CONSIDERING THAT IGNORING YOUR PLAYERS IS WHAT GETS YOU AN UNFAVORABLE SCORE! By the way, you already have an unfavorable score somewhere, 3.2 on Facebook. The positive reviews you get here are complete noobs who just downloaded the game and think it isn’t pay to win because they’re still in the honeymoon phase with the game. more
Mechanics need some tweaking Jun 5, 2022

By acorn01746294628-

I like this game don’t get me wrong but, any time that you load into a game you have a chance of being put with people that spend way to much on this and they end your game before it even starts. I feel like they need to make separate brackets for people that have spent $40+ dollars on the game. An example being the mortar rockets that can lock on from one spawn to another (most maps) and when fully upgraded with spending actual cash can do up to 40,000 dmg with one hit. Now most of the mecha in the start of the game have an hp bar of 10k maybe 20k depending on if you’ve upgraded. Developers I highly doubt you’ll read this but if you do please just make separate brackets for people that spend tons of cash and people that just enjoy the game. It makes people want to stop playing if they start a game and can’t even move because a rocket has already locked on and you can’t shake them because they’re homing missiles. Easy solution make missiles do slightly less damage or make rockets avoidable if hiding against or under buildings. more
