Mecha Break Steam Demo Breaks The Charts

The Mecha Break Steam demo dropped recently to a big reception.

Amazing Seasun’s latest release has mecha fans like me salivating at the mouth.

But why is it popping off on the charts, and what’s with the negative reviews?

On the night of February 23rd, the newest 3v3 and 6v6 mech online multiplayer game was released. Simultaneously, a collection of strong-looking women’s images were posted on X. However, let’s concentrate on the details of the game itself and its current events.

Mecha Break is an action-packed team game where you pilot giant robots in a battleground setting, similar to the Gundam Versus series but with added cool-down based abilities found in other hero fighter games. It’s free to play, features impressive artwork, and allows for customization of both your avatar and mech.

As a gamer, I’ve been diving into this game that’s easy on my wallet but packed with fun gameplay. It’s been quite the blast so far! What’s more, it’s been making waves in both the mech and gaming communities, amassing an impressive 300k active players – and that’s just from the demo version on Steam! Can’t wait to see what the full release brings.

There are several factors contributing to its popularity, primarily its engaging gameplay mechanics. Additionally, the ability to personalize pilots adds an enjoyable element, whether you’re viewing them online or creating a new Rei or Asuka-like character. Everyone has their own unique take, and that’s perfectly fine!

It’s also worth noting that the mech genre isn’t as celebrated as it used to be nowadays. Few mech games are released, and when they are, they often fall short or are just more Gundam imitations. To be honest, I’m still hoping for Bandai to create a genuine modern Gundam shooter game like Side Story, not another copy of Overwatch. The fact that players are eagerly anticipating even decent mecha games speaks volumes about the demand for this type of gameplay.

However, the Mecha Break Steam demo currently has mostly negative reviews, and here is why.

The Mecha Break Steam demo is being hit by negative reviews for two big glaring issues.

Initially, it appears that the kernel-level anti-cheat software provided by Seasun Games is causing discomfort among players. This is because kernel level implies it has extensive access to your computer’s hidden areas and takes precedence over other applications. Furthermore, even if you uninstall the game, the anti-cheat remains on your system, which raises concerns about privacy and potential unwanted behavior. Given that Seasun Games is a Chinese company, gamers are uneasy due to the perception of this software as spyware rather than an anti-cheat solution.

Additionally, the monetization strategy seems to force an initial purchase. To clarify, during the beta phase, there was a wide range of mechas available for us to play, offering diversity and choices in gameplay. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the Mecha Break Steam demo, leading to significantly fewer options. It appears that the game is encouraging players to buy additional mechs rather than allowing them to be earned gradually over time, which can feel pressuring.

However, it’s important to note that not only mechanical aspects of the game are subject to paywalls, but also accomplishments, which seems unusual. At this point, despite the enjoyable gameplay, the anticheat measures and monetization strategies are creating an unpleasant experience for newcomers.

With sufficient feedback from players through reviews and comments, it’s possible that the developers may take notice of the criticism. If fortune favors us, the adjustments made to the Mecha Break Steam demo might lead to improvements in the final version of the game.

I’m hoping that’s the case since the market for meaty gaming experiences involving massive mechs is currently quite barren. If you’re in search of a fresh, enjoyable title featuring large robots, I’d recommend checking out Armored Core on Steam. As for myself, I lean more towards games like Shogo!
