    I love MegaMan games and this really scratched the itch funny enough.

    Highlight is definitely the controls. I felt like maneuvering well was so rewarding. It's pretty much impossible to get multiplayer going which would be fine if all the Mecha were available in the Simulation mode, but really cool ones are locked there. I don't understand why they put so much on multiplayer when    I love MegaMan games and this really scratched the itch funny enough.

I don't understand why they put so much on multiplayer when it's not that big but here's hoping the high marks encourages more solo Mechas to use or better yet, local Simulation mode and 2v2 online matches.    … Expand

    For a China hero title, I was pleasantly surprised. The gameplay is pretty fun and gives the player a decent amount of options in battlefield and customization. I especially like the characters and the j-rock like music. Multiplayer was pretty fun, although it's also the game's biggest drawback since most of the game's additional stuff is accessed there, which is very questionable.

There's survival mode which more or less fixes that issue but it hinders the campaign, making it rather repetitive. The story was especially not that interesting (though they atleast tried) and it sucks that you only play as one mech in the campaign. A lot of questionable design choices holds the game back. Still, it's an enjoyable game nonethless. Some flaws here and there, but overall, if you love mechas, then I recommend this game. If you're not a fan of multiplayer games, then I suggest waiting till it drops to maybe $15.… Expand

    An interesting title that shines in both its single-player and multiplayer game modes, offering intense clashes between giant robots with a simple but effective combat system.

    It's a fun, stylised romp, with a plot that ticks all the "good versus evil" organisation boxes. Playing from start to finish isn't going to set your world alight, but what will be provided is a solid and fun run and gun, with some neat twists to break up the sections, and keep the interest right up until that last terror spreader falls under a metal Mecha boot.

    Such customisation even translates to Hardcore Mecha’s multiplayer mode, where you can duke it out with another person’s mech either locally or online. The result is an incredibly robust package, and the ultimate small-scale homage to robot anime. [Issue#172, p.86]
