Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the fast-paced mech action and customization options, while others criticize its clunky mechanics and poor optimization. The core mechanics are generally fun and easy to grasp, but issues like grinding, limited game modes, and performance problems detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, many recommend trying the game for its engaging combat and satisfying movement mechanics.
- “I would definitely recommend you try it; it has good gameplay as well as graphics, good balancing, and a good variation of ways to customize your mech to fit your playstyle.”
- “Overall, the weapons seem balanced and gameplay can be action-packed.”
- “The core gameplay is very easy to get a feel for, and the movement mechanics actually make traversing the map and outmaneuvering players/bots satisfying.”

- “The gameplay is clunky and unoptimized, with mechs that move like they're stuck in quicksand.”

- “Game is very poorly optimized and runs horribly during any sort of event during the match even on a 2080 Ti; mechanics like repairing allies feel poorly implemented at best, and barely feel like a mech game.”
