A fun fast paced alternative for people who think MechWarrior Online is a bit slow. Don't get me wrong MWO is a great game but sometimes you just don't feel like sitting in your garage for a whole hour calibrating your lance reactor coolant syncs. Here you just pick a mech, slap some weapons on, and go. Most matches are over in less than 10 minutes.

With the niceties out of the way it's time to address the painful elephant in the room. This game started out as a mobile game and at it's heart it remains a mobile game. Don't take my word for it just take a look at some of these screenshots.

This game is very grindy and pay-2-win. It takes months to unlock anything and hundreds of dollars to purchase it, there's also multiple rotating currencies and battle passes. These are some of the worst scummiest business practices in modern gaming today. With that said I'm pretty torn up about this review. By all accounts I should make this instantly negative because of the shady manipulative ways the game tries to trick you into spending money. But on the other hand there aren't many PvP mech games out there...

I'll gladly reverse my recommendation if they just ease up on the greedy mobile mindset of milking players, because at it's core this is an amazing mech brawler.
