‘Mecha Break' Has Lost 60% Of Its Players In A Week, User Scores Sink
Mecha Break Mecha Break Despite initial positive impressions from early tests, the launch of Mecha Break itself does not seem to be going terribly well just a short while after launch. The initial numbers for Mecha Break were very good, with a peak of 132,000 players at release on Wednesday, July 2 on Steam. But just nine days later, the game has lost 60% of its players. That's occurred with a drop every single day, even over the course of last weekend, where you would expect increases. Mecha Break , as a free-to-play multiplayer game, is not meant to be a one-and-done title, so the trend is concerning. The overall playercount is still good, as the Steam numbers don't count Xbox (where it's currently in 27th place) or its own launcher, but there's no reason to think those declines are not similar on other platforms, and it's the same trendline. Mecha Break Steamdb The decline in players has also come with a drop in user scores on Steam for Mecha Break , where it's down to 60% positive reviews, or 'Mixed.' Not what a game wants to see. What's going on? Well, some of it may just be players bouncing off, as it wasn't quite as fun as they hoped. But there are a few controversies circulating, namely the monetization of the free-to-play game. One aspect is the very, very pricey cosmetic microtransactions that can end up being $47 for some bundles in a game where its attractive character aesthetic is one of its core appeals. Even among similar games, that is very, very high. There's also an auction house in the game that can be used to buy and sell things, with some complaining about very high prices there. There are also some accusations that the game is pay-to-win in some regards, but many players dispute that. Auction House Mecha Break It doesn't sound like anything all that different from other free-to-play games, but all of this has combined for a significant player drop-off very quickly. If that trend is not reversed, this may not have the long-term appeal to succeed. I'm curious where it will be even after just a month, given this pace of rapid decline. It's just a hugely competitive market in the PvP space at the moment, with a new game, even a free one, has to try to break past giants that players have committed to for years. And then immediately hitting them with loads of microtransactions and a full auction house isn't the best first impression. We'll see if developer Amazing Seasun Games has any ideas to rapidly turn this around. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram .

Marvel Rivals Season 2 end date and when you'll say goodbye to the Hellfire Gala
Marvel Rivals is getting ready to launch its third season, introducing Blade and Jean Grey to the hero shooter, but before that players will need to say goodbye to the current season. Marvel Rivals is set to introduce Jean Grey and Blade soon, but first, we must conclude the current season before moving onto these exciting new additions. Marvel Rivals continues to offer thrilling experiences for players seeking a taste of comic book-inspired hero shooter action. Despite facing stiff competition from Fortnite and its Squid Grounds Reload map, the game has maintained its appeal, particularly with the introduction of Emma Frost and the evil Ultron, each bringing their unique playstyles. The successful launch of Mecha Break demonstrates that players are still eager to engage with the gameplay styling of the hero shooter, and as Marvel Rivals continues to evolve, it seems as though everyone wins, especially comic book fans. As a new season looms, featuring villains led by Hela and Knull, players are kept on their toes. The most anticipated features are the new playable characters, Blade and Jean Grey, along with a range of new cosmetics, including Hela's expected Symbiote-ified costume. Fans can also look forward to more maps and modes being gradually released throughout the season, providing even more reasons to explore the game's latest offerings. However, we're still waiting for the Marvel Rivals Season 2 end date to arrive before we can dive into the new season. So when exactly can we anticipate this chapter closing and a new one beginning in Marvel Rivals? Here's what you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Season 2 end date.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 end date The conclusion of Marvel Rivals Season 2 is scheduled for Friday, July 11 at 2am PDT / 5am EDT / 10am BST. According to a recent tweet from Marvel Rivals, it is at this time that the game will enter its maintenance period, expected to last between two and four hours, before launching into Season 3. This is set to cause quite a stir, particularly as Blade fans have been left without the representation promised by the MCU with its continually postponed vampire hunter film. Plus, in any case, it's nice to see a hero shooter reach some success after the appearance of Overwatch 2 squandered the gaming structure for many. We'll be glad to take Blade to the fight.

Once inside, select the mech (Striker) you want to edit. Don't worry, you can change things up anytime, and the game never charges for resetting designs.

You'll find a slick interface with multiple tabs, each handling a different layer of customization. Here's how to navigate it: 1. Paint Jobs: Go Wild with Colors You can either go minimalist with monochrome shades or go full Gundam with rainbow chaos. Customize: Full-body shades Individual parts (arms, legs, torso, weapons) Metallic, matte, or glossy finishes Pro tip: Paint kits are lootable in missions—extract safely to keep them! 2.

‘Mecha Break' Is Finally Here, Get Ready For Some Epic Mecha Action
'Mecha Break' is finally out and available to play on PC and Xbox Series X|S. It's been a long while, but Mecha Break is finally here, and it delivers. With stunning visuals and fast-paced mecha combat, it's a blast to play. With multiple open betas and a long, troubled development history, it's taken a good while for the game to find its feet, but Mecha Break is now finally available to play on general release. It's also playable on Xbox Series X|S, and I've been giving it a proper go. It holds up surprisingly well on console with a pad, and it will be interesting to see how it does long-term. This is because, with the styling of the mecha designs and general high-speed aerial gameplay, I think that Mecha Break will find its audience mostly in Asia. So the choice of Xbox Series X|S to start with seems a bit strange, as the Xbox brand has never been popular in places like Japan, but a PlayStation 5 version is apparently still planned. You can also pick up the game over on PC via Steam, which is where I assume the bulk of the initial players will be. In any case, Mecha Break is a big and unashamed mecha game. Not a Gundam game trying to be an Overwatch clone, or a shooter with dudes cosplaying as mecha. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder It's a proper mecha game, and hopefully one that will find its audience.
