killamch89 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I grew up playing Armored Core, Mechassault and Zone of the Enders mech games and I was a huge fan of all three. However, there is a serious lack of Mech games on the market and I am looking for some good ones to play. What Mech Games are you looking forward to and can you recommend any great Mecha games available right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game took over my life for a while. It came with my PC back in the day and I loved it so much. Felt super immersive and the audio and 3D graphics were really impressive for the time.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a sequel out now or came out a few years back. Not a fan of first-person mech games because I like to see my Mech in all its glory.

You should at least get a mid-range gaming PC because you are missing out on the excellence that is PC gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I had a decent PC for a while but it's sadly bitten the dust. I do have a MacBook air but I try not to game on it (it can run FTL so I'm happy). May possibly pick one up sometime in the future.

Or try to build one - it works out cheaper and much better in the long run. Pre-built PCs always come with these strange warranty policies and don't get me started on when you actually want to get your machine repaired/upgraded.

My last one was pre-built. Will bear that in mind when I start looking for PCs to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a brilliant Mech game with an exhausting amount of customizations for mechs but it is realistic in that you have to factor in weapon weight, mech energy output etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of the series, though. Pretty sure it's developed by FromSoftware, the same dev behind Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a solid franchise and is the most popular mech game franchise to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbones Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Front Mission games were amazing, and I'd kill for a new big-budget Switch release. Feels like it makes a ton of sense - they could even throw in some PvP to suit the MP nature of the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have a new game coming out named Last Alive that is set in the Front Mission Universe so I am looking out for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
