The gameplay of "Mech Mechanic Simulator: Prologue" is described as familiar and somewhat repetitive, lacking innovation compared to other mechanic simulators. While some players appreciate the casual and relaxing nature of the game, others criticize its clunky controls, performance issues, and limited customization options. Overall, it appeals primarily to fans of the genre, but many feel there are better alternatives available.
- “Amazing design, good gameplay, but when you go forward it becomes too repetitive.”
- “It's quite simple when you figure it out; if you're into mechanoids and being a mechanic, this game might be for you.”

grinding

Players find the grinding mechanics tedious and frustrating, often feeling like they are battling the controls due to poor design choices. The repetitive nature of tasks, such as pixel-hunting for repairs, adds to the overall annoyance, making the grinding experience less enjoyable.
- “Let go of the mouse, and the camera suddenly moves to a new vantage point, making me shift the cursor to the part's new location and then begin the tedious 'click, hold, and drag in the direction of the arrows.' I often feel as if I were fighting the controls to do things because of the odd choices made by the developers.”
- “Turning all the 'repairing' into hunt-the-pixel mini-games gets tedious really quickly. Finding that last pixel of rust in some spaghetti-shaped armor piece to get it 'repaired' just does my head in.”
