    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are widely praised for their quality, smooth performance, and detailed design, reminiscent of classic titles like Command & Conquer. Players appreciate the vibrant visuals and animations, which enhance the fast-paced gameplay and strategic elements. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, with minimal loading times and no frame drops reported.

    • “The settings, playing field, and graphics quality are all superb!”
    • “The graphics are butter smooth, the longest loading time has been about 1.5 seconds, no frame drops at all, and it took all my willpower to stop playing long enough to write this review.”
    • “Great graphics, inventive units, and lots of upgrades and unlockables to use the earned credits towards.”
    • “Not so much in the graphics or AI or all the extras (there are a lot of mechs, units, skins, hats, pets (yes, I'm being serious) already), where this game really falls over is in the interface.”
    • “Punchy visuals, entertaining concepts, and a terrible text-to-speech program.”
    • “Mechs, squad building, strategy, action, tower defense, with direct or automatic control of your commander/trainspotter, all with 'animated' Viewmaster visuals.”
  • story
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many reviewers noting that the campaign consists of a series of progressively harder missions without a compelling narrative. While the single-player experience offers enjoyable gameplay and a variety of missions, the absence of a substantial storyline detracts from immersion, leaving players wanting more context and engagement. Overall, the game is recommended primarily for its single-player content, despite its narrative shortcomings.

    • “The main campaign features a series of progressively harder missions.”
    • “There is tons of content for singleplayer campaign missions even though the multiplayer is almost non-existent because the player base is low.”
    • “The campaign is meh (no story, just doing maps with increasing difficulty to unlock stuff), but has enough content to be enjoyable.”
    • “Some storyline (beyond short descriptions on maps) would really make the whole experience more immersive.”
    • “Imagine if you were playing Starcraft and they removed the strategy, micro, and the story and only left you with macro.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally well-received, with many praising the engaging mechanics and the unique ability to switch between RTS and action gameplay, reminiscent of Command & Conquer. However, some users noted issues with clunky controls and a lack of variability and replay value, leading to mixed opinions on the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the graphics and control scheme are often highlighted as strong points, contributing to a fun and immersive gameplay experience.

    • “The visuals have a bit of a Command & Conquer vibe, and the ability to control the AirMech to switch from RTS to action gameplay is a really cool feature.”
    • “The control scheme is fantastic, the graphics are above average, and the gameplay is fun and engaging.”
    • “Pretty detailed graphics and elegant design in gameplay.”
    • “Bad game mechanics, can't recommend, sorry <3”
    • “They experienced the only con I listed and assumed the game was very short, had no variability in gameplay, and was lacking anything that would give it replay value.”
    • “The controls are a bit clunky at times, mostly just the actual mech commands; the gameplay just makes up for it.”
  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the prevalence of cash grabs in the SteamVR library and the misleading advertising of certain products. However, there are positive mentions of games like AirMech, which offer a solid experience without microtransactions, highlighting a desire for more quality content without additional costs. Overall, while some games exploit monetization strategies, others provide value without extra charges.

    • “There are single player, PvP, and co-op options, the assets all look wonderful, and no microtransactions.”
    • “Get AirMech without VR though, that's still a great game - microtransactions aside.”
    • “Well, that's fine and dandy, but they're still selling a product to customers while falsely advertising it, and part of selling your games is that they're paying your bills.”
    • “Most of the SteamVR library is cash grabs, but go look at hobbyist work/VR arcades; there is a lot more than what shows up on the store page that’s worth being hyped, and is already being done with current VR tech.”
    • “- no microtransactions (so far)”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report positive impressions of the game's optimization, noting good graphics and performance. However, some uncertainty remains regarding whether this performance is due to high-end hardware or effective optimization, particularly as multi-player experiences have not yet been assessed.

    • “I've only played it a short while, but the graphics and performance so far are really good.”
    • “My computer is a beast, so I don't know if performance is because of that, or the game being well optimized.”
    • “My computer is a beast, so I don't know if the performance issues are due to that or if the game is poorly optimized.”
    • “Can't comment on the actual performance or experience in multiplayer yet, though.”
