It is quick, it does not taste good - but it kind of wastes your time good enough until you are ready for some real food.
However - the game is not entirely bad. It is just simple - and hardly worth sitting down for or switching the computer on. It does however work for a mobile device - like a pad of phone - when you have to waste the time while you are busy with more important stuff ( bus ride or toilet - you name it )
The match-3 mechanics do work - but do not offer enough variation. Even the much much older Puzzle quest does a far better job there. Since you cannot see the enemies board - it sometimes feels like the AI is cheating - because it usually manages to dish out the necessary - rarely much more - or much less though.
All the while the own board is rarely very balanced - because there simply are not enough variations in icons.
Also the special abilities are mostly boring leaving little room for real strategy or tactics.
The art-style is "ok" - not great but it works. It does however have a distinctive "flashgame" feeling - of the cheaper sorts.
I would have loved to see much better designs for the mechs ( other than tin cans on legs - and even or especially steam punk mechs offer so much more ) - also much more variety in terms of weapons, mounts etc.
Customizing your mech, your pilot - your tactics could have given that game, which - at its core is fine enough - a way to shine well over comparable products. But since it fails to add complexity - it is just one more below average game you usually get for free on mobile devices.
In its current state the game is not worth the money - nor does it beat the competition in features or presentation. Too much grinding, too much randomness and way too little variety to justify the replays needed to progress properly.… Expand
