Mining Mechs

**Motherload was better.** Mining Mechs is an okay game if you just want to play through it and reach the end. The mining and upgrading are fun enough, but the grind gets really boring if you're going for 100% achievements. Honestly, the old Motherload Flash game was more fun. It had that same addictive mining loop, but somehow managed to keep things more interesting. Fine if you just want to finish the game. But going for 100% achievements? Prepare for a seriously boring grind. 😅

Very enjoyable and addictive game. Compared to the digging game genre's original game (motherload), mining mechs removes the concepts of fuel running out and hull damage, so it's a lot more relaxed but adds the concepts of passive income (by building a pipe to mines), a dirt compartment (that fills up when you dig plain dirt) and additional side missions/quests, which keep things interesting. The upgrade path is also different - instead of just upgrading your one ship, you start with a basic mech that can be upgraded by a limited amount, then when you grow out of that one you buy a mech that's able to be upgraded further. You can also freely re-balance upgrades (eg if you find you've put too much into driling and need more cargo, you can minus upgrade points from the drill and add them to cargo). Best of all, I feel it's much longer than the original digging game - I've played for 3 hours and got down to around 700 meters and the game is still interesting and still going, which is a great plus. All in all I highly recommend it.

Go to achievement section and scroll to the bottom. Yeah, I got that one.

Mining Mechs is basically doing the same thing over and over. Dig down, dig even deeper, find resources, fly back up, sell them, upgrade your mech and go back down again. 😂 I finished the game in around 14 hours and honestly, I expected to get bored after a while. It is pretty repetitive, but surprisingly I enjoyed it all the way to the end. There is nothing too complicated about it. You just dig, collect stuff, sell it and upgrade your mech. Then you tell yourself “just one more trip down” and somehow you spend another hour playing. 😄 I expected much less from this game, but it actually surprised me. Simple and repetitive, but fun.

fun and relaxing

Lots of fun
