    Mecho Tales is a beautiful game that takes homage from classic platform games such as Mega Man, sadly its dull gameplay doesn't quite match the effort put into the designs of the characters and worlds leaving a mediocre adventure in its wake.

    Ultimately Mecho Tales is derivative, borrowing tried and tested ideas rather than coming up with anything that ever surprises or astounds. It fails to leave a lasting impression to result in another forgettable platformer that is unable to compete with far more memorable and groundbreaking games in the genre that are available on the Nintendo eShop.

    While Mecho Tales looks to be a loving homage at first blush, upon further inspection that it’s actually just aping its inspirations instead of integrating them into something refreshing or new. The presentation lacks personality and charm, the level design is rote and arbitrary and controlling your given protagonist never clicks. Despite the intricate visuals and unusual design, there’s nothing on offer here that is genuinely compelling from a gameplay perspective.

    Frankly, Mecho Tales breaks my heart because I want to see more creative talent and this team has so much promise in their character designs. While Mecho Tales is not an entirely broken game, it is a game that doesn’t quite seem to know what it wants to be.

    I caught it on sale and I like it. How some of the screens scroll can be frustrating, but the multiplayer is fun. If I paid list for it, II caught it on sale and I like it.

    The worst game I have ever played in my life. The game design is okay but everything else is hot garbage. The level design is terrible andThe worst game I have ever played in my life. The game design is okay but everything else is hot garbage. The level design is terrible and seems like a little kid made the levels. The enemies are bland and generic. Enemies are just thrown on the level in outrageous amounts. The final boss is extremely difficult and one of his move is literally unavoidable . Save your money and time and don't buy this garbage game.… Full Review »

    Terrible, terrible, terrible game. It’s confusing and a waste of money. I only spent $0.89 and I’m still annoyed that I bought it.
