Override: Mech City Brawl is a single player and multiplayer arcade fighting game with a science fiction theme. It was developed by The Balance Inc and was released on December 2, 2018. It received neutral reviews from critics and positive reviews from players.
Override: Mech City Brawl is a Science Fiction Fighting game that allows up to 4 players to control giant mechs and battle in real-world locations like Tokyo and San Francisco. The Super Charged Mega Edition includes a Season Pass with 4 additional mechs and 16 skins, as well as instant access to 12 legendary skins. The game features explosive battles in both local and online multiplayer modes, including Versus, Co-op, and a single-player campaign.






- Override: Mech City Brawl offers a fun and chaotic multiplayer experience, especially when played with friends, allowing up to four players to control a single mech.
- The game features a diverse roster of mechs, each with unique abilities and combat styles, providing a satisfying variety in gameplay.
- The visuals are vibrant and engaging, with destructible environments that enhance the feeling of being a giant robot battling in a city.
- The single-player campaign is short and lacks replayability, often feeling repetitive with minimal depth in its missions.
- Online matchmaking is sparse, making it difficult to find players for competitive matches, which limits the game's longevity.
- Some technical issues, such as hit detection problems and occasional graphical glitches, detract from the overall experience.

The game's story mode is criticized for being extremely short (around 1.5-2 hours) and lacking depth, with repetitive missions and minimal variation regardless of the chosen mech. While it features a cheesy anime-inspired narrative and some character personality, the overall execution feels tacked-on and fails to provide meaningful engagement, leading to limited replayability. Players note that the story serves primarily as a vehicle for gameplay progression rather than a compelling narrative experience.
“The story is nothing out of this world, but it’s the type of thing you’d expect from a 'kill giant monsters using giant robots' narrative (the dialogue changes somewhat depending on which mech you play as, but it’s otherwise the same story for all of them).”
“The story mode is short but entertaining enough, with boss battles and amusing dialogue.”
“Every mech has a pilot with a distinct personality, some of which change the context of the story significantly.”
“The story mode is an absolute joke, about 1.5-2 hours long, with super easy, pointless missions and dialogues.”
“The story is nothing to write home about, but it does provide a funny (if short and predictable) narrative to follow as you play.”
“The title's failing is with the awful storyline mode which seems tacked-on in comparison to the joyful execution of the combat and co-op systems.”
Override: Mech City Brawl Review
Override: Mech City Brawl is good fun with a friend or two sitting on your sofa, but it lacks the kind of depth that a smaller release like this needs to be consistently compelling. The game's got some cool mech designs and watching big robots tumble through buildings is always enjoyable, but it's just not quite enough to carry the rest of the release.

Override: Mech City Brawl is as fun as your attention span will last. There just isn't enough content to keep players coming back for the long haul.

There's the nucleus of a great mech punch 'em up here, but Override: Mech City Brawl needs some more time in R&D before it can get there.
