Mechabellum Reviews

Pretty good game overall. 1v1 is where it shines the most but 2v2’s are pretty awesome as well and, the 4 player ffa mode is really fun it actually gives hearthstone battlegrounds vibes in case you’re into that

addictive strategic fun. like all competitive games in this style there will always be some frustrating match ups and occasional cheese tactics. but the good far out ways the bad imo

Constant crashes and Unity errors making it impossible to play even one match without disruption.

While the game itself is extremely fun, the matchmaking is horrendous. You win 2 games and suddenly you are fighting against top 5 ranked tourney players who have 25% more MMR than you. It happens all the time, as soon as you win 2 in a row, suddenly the rankings think your a pro and put you against people way outside of your league. If they fixed this system, this game would easily be a 10/10 game. However with this issue, the game is only a 6.5/10. Which is a shame since the gameplay itself is absolutely amazing.

If you like: Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (TABS), Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 (UEBS 2). or any type of mayhem that involves Sci-fi; i recommend this game to you 100%! And you can battle your buddies as well for practice!

How to win: Watch Mechabellum Youtubers and just copy their builds. The game is fun and addicting but ultimately it never feels like you're battling an opponent, you're just fighting the last Youtube video they watched. The experience for new players is horrible and if you don't want to spend all day every day watching Youtubers, High MMR players, and going through wikis, good luck. The game is not intuitive and most of the time you'll have 0 idea why you lost. With such a small online playerbase you also frequently get massive differences in MMR matchups going up against players much better than you. There are also RNG based elements to this game in the way of Random unit selections mid game where certain units are only available in this way as well as random "specialist" selection that can immediately put you at 1000 hp under your opponent at the start of the game. It can make games feel wildly unbalanced when all 3 units don't work for your build but are perfect for what your opponent has built. There are also non-unit "Weapons" you can buy that also just feel incredibly cheesy, Like a 50 supply rocket that will just obliterate entire squads of small/medium units. Ultimately it all coalesces into the game feeling incredibly unfair for any casual player. If you're wanting just a casual dad game or don't have the time to keep up with a meta this is not it. The final nail in the coffin for this game is the amount of Toxic players in game. The community over-all is fairly friendly but in-game there are a lot of toxic players who ruin the experience.

Great game. Hope the developer brings in 3v3 and some type of mode like DIrect Strike from ST3 that goes in waves.

Good stuff - but this game desperately needs a UI overhaul, so sad to see a wonderful game with an atrocious main menu.

This game is amazing. All the fun of WC3 custom maps with added barons chat - just make sure to enable general chat in games!

The game not only let's you save a replay to learn from your mistakes, but you can take over either player and continue the game with bots from there. I've never seen a game do that before, and I picked this up for $13. Insane.
