Mech Builder Reviews

A lovely little puzzle game, great for when you don't want to play something thats graphics heavy. The art is amazing and you can make each model your own. Give it a try

this game decided to go with using Generative AI for some of its newer models. Extremely disappointing and hope my refund request goes through. Generative AI is a cancer on Art and shame on the dev for using it. Don't really care how small of a dev they might be or whatever other excuse that could be given. The fact it wasn't disclosed until after I bought the game is even worse.

It's a disappointing review to write because I did initially like the game and and was happy to see new content added (even if they weren't as nice as those in the initial sets) but, to add AI generated content is a move I can't support, especially for a paid product. I won't go into a spiel on the ethics of using AI, everyone reading this likely can tell my opinion on it.I just can't support or recommend this otherwise relaxing game. If there is a misunderstanding of how this was made and AI wasn't actually used in the making of any of the game's assets (I could forgive just promo material) I'd change this review to be positive. But I cannot recommend someone buying something even in part made with generative AI

While this fun little game isn't for everyone, it will definitely scratch that itch for model makers and those curious about the hobby.

Disappointed both with the basic level of gunpla assembly compared to real kits and the use of AI

really like this game, but apparently it uses AI for some of its more recent models? i understand there was a disclosure about it from the start but its still disappointing and, if i had seen it from the start (which is my bad! i totally missed it) i wouldn't have bought it. so, despite being a good chill out game, i won't recommend it and would never recommend it.

Under no circumstances should you purchase this game, mediocre gameplay and the use of AI was lied about for a long period of time. By the time the creator finally decided to be honest about the use of AI I had enough time played to not be able to return it (unfortunately). The fact that this "creator" is now selling DLC as well is upsetting, nobody should be charging for their AI slop game like this.

It's solid on a gameplay level, and the Kitbash is pretty cool. Sadly i bought this without knowledge that this uses AI for certain assets (I believe the disclaimer was added later). A shame

the game overall is a nice little "time waster", even if it can be finicky at times. unfortunately, the developer put models in the game that were made by AI. I wouldn't really care THAT much if the dev wasn't so weird about it. This all just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth as you play. It could've been so simple and easy not to use AI here and still make a great game.. shame :/ hopefully these models get replaced with handmade assets at some point, but I don't really have hope for that, since the dev is already selling a DLC which also contains AI generated models. As an artist myself, I do NOT support the use of generative AI. AI should be a tool and not a replacement for lack of skill.

- Too close to real gunpla building to work as a puzzle game, too far from real life to work as a simulator. It's only real value is as a distraction to listen to audiobooks or podcasts to, and it's only mediocre for that. - The piece connection is finicky, the paint tool is flat, and the stickers system being so color limited is just confusing. - The use of ai is disappointing, and I don't appreciate the disclaimer being added later or the vagueness of "more designs", but beyond that I have a lot of questions about a for profit game like this sourcing a significant amount of designs from the "community" in the first place.
