The gameplay of "Feed My Mech" is a blend of unique mechanics reminiscent of "Iron Lung" and elements from "Five Nights at Freddy's," featuring resource management and exploration. While the flashlight and movement mechanics are generally easy to grasp, some players find certain mechanics, particularly those that slow progress, to be frustrating. Overall, the game offers an engaging experience with a strong emphasis on audio cues and a satisfying gameplay loop, despite some criticisms regarding pacing and complexity.
- “Nevertheless, if you're looking for an interesting setting, with an effective style, excellent lore, and building gameplay that crescendos nicely, testing all your resource management skills, then I would recommend giving Feed My Mech a shot.”
- “The gameplay is super unique and surprisingly fun!”
- “The gameplay loop of moving your mech around, which drains power, which then requires you to do a variation of the classic pipe-connection minigame to gain more power is pretty satisfying.”
- “Enemy infected mechs don't do anything other than provide infection material to feed your mech, which doesn't become a mechanic until the 3rd level.”
- “Every mechanic in this game serves to slow your progress down, and it becomes infuriating.”
- “However, the main focus of this game is to move and explore through the levels to progress, and so every mechanic just needlessly slows you down far too often to make it an enjoyable experience.”
