The free-to-play giant robot shooter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mecha Break has been an instant hit on Steam, just hours after 𒊎its release on the platform.

Mecha Break's most recent demo peaked , so the success of Amazing Seasun Games' latest💙 offering isn't entirely unexpected.

The game already offers a substantial selection of modes, including a 3v3 player-versus-player (PvP) mode, a more complex 6v6 mode, and a player-versus-player-versus-environment (PvPv🥂E) extr🐎action shooter-style mode.

These early numbers are impressive💯 and showcase the appetite among players to hop into a giant robot in order to blast other giant robots with friends. For comparison, Armored C🐼ore 6, a completely different type of mecha game, .

Mecha ಌBreak, being free-to-play and multiplayer, has the opportunity to eclipse those numbers. However, there's an elephant in the room with Mecha Break that needs to be addressed.

"Micro" Transactions

Something very apparent as soon as you launch Mecha Break is the aggressive monetisation of the free-to-pla💯y title. There's 🐭an absurd amount of cosmetics already available, as you can customise both your mecha and your pilot.

You can control your pilot during intermission period☂s, offering another avenue for customisation.

In gaming, no microtransaction goes unnoticed, and this is reflected i🌃n , which currently sit at 'Mixed' on Steam. As you may have gleaned, the majority of these negative reviews concern the game's monetisation.

"I played the game before release and loved it," , a reviewer. "I was excited to play it until I was greeted with by the insane microtransactions and an auction house you can sell said microtransactions on. $47.99 for a pilot and a mech? You can sꦯtraight up pay money to extract items from mashmak (the extraction mode). Who thought this was a good idea? The game had the potential to be the next big thing but now I feel dirty playing it..."
