    If AirMech Arena is not exactly bright and shiny at first, you need to admit that it works wonderfully well once you get the pad. The newcomers will appreciate the way you can learn MOBA basics, while the others will enjoy all the strategic part of the game. It's a shame that AI and too recurrent disconnections come to spoil this positive scene.

    A smart, bloodthirsty blend of ideas from MOBAs, action games and the RTS, with intense yet rewarding multiplayer. Beware the microtransactions, though.

    Fans of either genre will enjoy themselves in AirMech Arena, and it may even convert a few naysayers – it has certainly made me a lot more interested in real-time strategy.

    Terrible servers make it difficult to want to go back to play more AirMech Arena.

    Great game, lots of fun if you can find the right 3v3 PVP games. Zero P2W, but there are absolutely tons of cosmetics you can get if you pay.Great game, lots of fun if you can find the right 3v3 PVP games. Zero P2W, but there are absolutely tons of cosmetics you can get if you pay. The devs are really close to the community, you will see them in the global chat and the forums very often.

    The feel of the game is amazing, you can tell they spent a lot of time perfecting it. Once you get it down, the mechs handle perfectly.

    The engine they made for this game is very efficient. Good graphics even on lower end computers.

    My critique would be that there could be more focus on balancing and gameplay features, instead of markets and other side stuff.    … Full Review »

It's an RTS (Real Time Strategy) with a fast pace and fair, competitive action. You can choose between PvP, Coop/PvE/Solo (vs AI), Survival, or CTF (Capture the Flag) game modes. AirMech was inspired by a classic Sega Genesis game called Herzog Zwei.

    There is no pay2win involved in AirMech. You can't buy any advantage for gameplay. Everything they sell is cosmetics and collectables. This keeps the game fair and balanced for everyone. Once you've learned the game, you have just as good of a chance at winning as every other player.

    AirMech is developed by CarbonGames, an indie developer with a team of about 10. With no major publisher, they're free to do what they want with the game. They're very active with the community and communicate often for users' questions, suggestions, and other feedback.

    If you like Action-RTS, come check it out for free. If you enjoy AirMech, consider supporting them with a Starter Pack (cosmetics/diamonds) or AirMech Prime (all core units/AirMechs) purchase. Development of AirMech is ongoing and more features still being added.    … Full Review »

    The game is Great! You can get all the units ans stuff needed for game play as you progress through the game. It is a true Free to play (notThe game is Great! You can get all the units ans stuff needed for game play as you progress through the game. It is a true Free to play (not pay to win) game. It's got lots of different game modes from Solo, Coop, PVE, and Pvp. So you can just chill in a relaxed game after work or Go crush other players... depending on your mood.

    The different Mechs are great because you can switch up which ones you use based of your style of play. The pilots, parts, and items help you to customize the Airmech you are playing. You can change out units for a fast rush game or a slower artillery domination. The combo of choices are pretty endless and keep the game "fresh".

    I like that I can play with friends or complete strangers. It's great for a casual player or someone that wants to become a dedicated pro. I love Airmech!!!    … Full Review »
