Mech Havoc

exactly what you pay for, A simple game where you blow up robots as a mech. only complaint is it feels like early game laser weapons are kinda useless.

Be robot. Shoot other robot. Get new guns or bigger robots or tanks or trucks. Shoot harder, bigger, meaner robot. Repeat. It's simple, but fun. It's maybe a little mindless sometimes but that is not a detractor for it. I enjoyed this game while I played it. It's cheap. It's worth it and then some.

Decent -- Game starts off slow but clicks as you get more options to customize and utterly dominate your opponents. + Ballistics have nice effect and the game doesn't strong-arm you into certain builds. + Lore for different parts and Vehicles -- A Much appreciated effort and adds depth to what you're piloting/driving. + Workshop Support -- How to cement a games' longevity, which many devs unfortunately don't really understand. Modding is eternal life for a video game + Customization is fun and requires a little bit of thought into Speed/Reload Times/Armour/Damage Output + Lots of enemy variety that pushes you to experiment with your builds + Pleasurable Art-style with easy to run graphics, making this accessible for lower power systems. The following Negatives aren't "Negatives" per-say but more suggestions how the experience could be alleviated. In my eyes, this game is great for the Price Point and what it claims to be - Lack of a distinct Soundtrack; This isn't paramount but Armored Core is a good basis, from its grungy guitars and moody vocals of 4th Gen to 3rd Gens emotional synths and 6th Gen's theatrical and cinematic soundtrack. I hate to be a game comparer, but I feel like this would make the game 10x awesome. - More Emphasis on destruction. It speaks for itself, let me obliterate buildings in a more cinematic sense and make my mech/tank smash holes through walls and run over various props in the environment, it will really sell the weight -- Which is paramount for games that focus on Armored Vehicles - Needs more work on "Disabling" enemies and dismantling them; Make more noticeable nerfs for dismantling enemies servos/arms/cores whatever and when they're killed, there needs to be mess -- Like steel, nuts and bolts scattered onto the environment and Oil splashing the terrain like blood! that would be AWESOME! But all in all -- Thank you for this good experience and I wish great things for this game's future, I will be there!

A great suprise. This game have everything. Roguelike aspect Aiming and part damage + weakpoints Damage type affecting more or less different part of the enemies and workshop if you want op or exotic mech

Very cool game. Reminiscent of old, top-down flash games I used to play, but with much improved performance and polish. Usually. Some maps do spawn so many enemies that things start to get crunchy. Vanilla "endgame" balancing could be improved. As of right now, the Goblin is clearly the best vehicle and stands as the only vehicle I can comfortably complete "Southern District - Sweep" in without much struggle. It's not even the final vehicle in its tech tree, but it is still leagues above all other vehicles, and it's not close at all. It has everything - speed, maneuverability, armor, self-repair, defensive mount, a giant ♥♥♥♥-off railgun mount, and plenty of size 2 secondary weapon mounts. No other vehicle can match this combination, and the only downside is that it is strictly part of the Energy/Experimental tree so it can mostly only use Experimental weapons, with the exception of one hybrid Ballistic mount. This basically means that if you rush the Experimental tree right from the start, you have a massive advantage compared to starting with the Rocket tree.

I will not lie to you, friend: this game is not, as far as I can tell, a revolutionary deconstruction of the top-down shooter genre. You will not learn new ways of seeing mechs go boom. You are not going to be shocked or amazed or titillated (yes, that's a real word, no, it doesn't have anything to do with boobs, probably) by an incredible new take on shooting things with guns and occasionally running them over. And that's completely fine. This game is very honest. It wants you to have fun. It says, 'look. see. I have cool-ass pixel-art sci-fi combat vehicles that kick ass. get in a mech. or a tank. or a technical. or a hovertank with awesome glowing jet engines as a thrust solution, or a gigantic cargo crawler with the entire storage bay ripped out and replaced with armour and weapons, or a strider that's about seventy percent rocket artillery by volume. or a battle tuk-tuk. we have one of those too. and once you have your violence metal of choice, load it up with things that go boom and pew-pew and ka-ZAP and whoosh-bang-KABOOM. and go onto this battlefield made of explodable thingies and walls you can break with your guns and your offmap mortar batteries and your face if you're really determined, and fight a giant load of robots that glow pretty colours and detonate like b-list action movie cars when they die. and have fun.' And then you go do that. And it's awesome. This game isn't anything you haven't seen before. That's alright. I loved the thousandth chocolate bar I ate just as much as the first one. Go have fun. Blow up some robots for me.
