Mech Arena: Robot Showdown

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Really fun and addicting game! That being said the purpose of games are to make money, so there's definitely a pay to win aspect. You can definitely tell when people drop stupid amounts of money because they have the super OP weapons that most people can't get. Yes I play the events daily. But many of the weapons take forever to upgrade enough to be competitive enough to face off against people that play to win...

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.

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.

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!

Took you guys a minute to fix it. I'll be honest if I hadn't invested a pretty penny on this game I would have deleted. All the same. I appreciate the feedback and you guys actually addressing and fixing the issue. But I missed out on tourneys and rewards because the willpower to restart the app after every match was low. I'd play maybe 2 a day and go to another app.

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!

Every time you open the main menu you get a minimum of 10 pop up ads to buy gear/equipment with small x buttons in the corner. Edit: the developer responded to this review. It would be great if the frequency of offers was reduced: 2 or 3 max. My concern is if i did purchase something, Id get even more pop-ups! I didn't want to buy the first 9 items, I certainly dont want the last one any more.
