What players say

60% of 30,942 reviews are positive · 65% of 302 in the last 30 days

Players praise the core robot combat as fun. The dominant complaint is pay-to-win balance: players say paid or newly released mechs and weapons overwhelm free loadouts, matchmaking places them against much stronger opponents, and newer gear repeatedly makes older equipment obsolete.
