Mecha Break is a free-to-play mech shooter making an attempt at what Hawken and Titanfall 2 kinda failed to do before it: a high-mobility giant robot game with longevity. It launched on Steam today after a reasonably successful beta, which Aron Garst described as "a mix of Overwatch and Armored Core 6". What could go wrong? (Well, Aron also draws attention to its heavyhanded monetisation).
It comes bearing a lot: in addition to 3v3 and 6v6 game modes, Mecha Break has its own take on the extraction shooter format. There's a huge emphasis on mech customization, but you're not just your mech. As a pilot you'll have your own base to saunter around in your hard-won expressive garb.
