Mecha Knights: Nightmare

I really wanted to like this game, it has pretty good controls and decent voice acting, it's got a lot of really cool things going for it. BUT THE AI IS BRAINDEAD It pulls me out of the action so fast. The enemy I can excuse, because if you couldn't tell from the description, this is one of those mecha games where you fight Kaijus other than giant mechs like yourself, which is a trope I don't really like that much but was going to look over. But... It's a bit lame. And furthermore, your ally AI? Practically nonexistant. In the missions, they will not move a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ muscle. They stand idle and sometimes shoot. I'm sorry, I can't excuse that. Beyond that though, mission structure is virtually identical mission to mission, with very few differences in set dressing too. I'm sorry man, I hope the next game is good, I heard great things about this one but I can't recommend it to anyone really.

fun game

If ac6 cod zombie and earth defence force had a baby. Game itself is nothing mutch complicated but if u love shooting hordes of stuff with big weapons and aurafarm this is a great game. Plus If u put tecono music in bg and mute dialogues

scratches the EDF itch nicely. I would love if the paintjobs applied to equipment and a "new" marker for new equipment and organisation and maybe a favourites tab in equipment. for example I wanna make a big breacher type mech so i need heavy armour but until i have a full set i'm gonna stick with light armour. being able to favourite pieces that i will definitely want to keep would be helpful instead of having to re-read what the pieces do each time. also radar placement and size is not very good but that's entirely personal gameplay is fun ui is only okay

So, you've been a fan of "Armored Core," and maybe you liked "Earth Defense Force?" Well, here you go. "Mecha Knights" is a little rough around the edges, which is not surprising for a passion project involving a whole, one person. When I say that, though, I really do only mean the edges. You might start out thinking that the game is too simplistic, but there's a steady ramp of encounter progression that acts as a good hook. Plus, there are some nifty setpieces. It's just that it doesn't all hit you at once. I liked the mech customization and weapon balance overall. I ended up with an energy-focused build by the end, buoyed by how you can easily replay missions to test loadouts and accumulate resources. (Love that. Have always loved that. Have said before how I love that.) I liked the option to run raids for better rewards, too. The funniest thing that happened was me overpowering the game at the end. The final mission (which I didn't realize was final until no other missions appeared) ended with me clearing the field - and then us "getting saved" by the timely arrival of another combat unit. Which had nothing to do. Because I had cleared the field. "Mecha Knights" is a fun, ge…

A short and polished enough game where you will enjoy exploding armies of monsters. Narrating a mostly cliché and bland story, it has its moments of pure cringe and some of surprise. The UI is usable but clunky and the game finishes before many of its mechanics are really put to the test. Overall it may value its price if discounted.
