M.A.S.S. Builder
Summary: MASS Builder is a fairly fun game that could keep you busy for a few hours if you have little interest in mecha/robot customization, but many more hours if you like creating custom designs and trying them out. While its customization is deep, it isn’t…broad, and a general lack of content keeps this from being a hard recommend in general. That said, it actually gets the basics done with a lot of quality and polish and is by no means bad…just very narrow in its scope. It has a lot of potential and I’m excited to see new features added to the game.

Mass Builder is a customizable mecha game with great customization, but some of the worst gameplay I have ever had to slog through. The fact that the game is unfinished as of this review doesn’t excuse the game’s issues though. Let’s start with the pros, because there are some elements that are done well:
Pros:
-
Great character art. I won’t go into detail, but whoever did the 2d character sprites during story segments should be commended for a job well done.
-
Great customization for mechas. The parts all look great, and there’s obvious influence from several anime designs in certain parts. Colour switching is a bit awkward, but it’s functional.

魔装術師アカネ / Magic MechSuit Akane
I played 1vs1 Arena. and use guns, boosters and basic system something.
hmm..I think engine charge delay is very long Compared to the usage time.
how about increase the engine usage time and decrease engine charge delay time?
and Screen don’t work when I select color change system in garage.
I don’t know why. but it is doesn’t matter cause this problem can solve just shut down game and restart.
and.. I can’t aim to flying enemy cause moving aim is really difficult.(my mouse gamma can select to 8200. but, aiming is difficult too.)

DAEMON X MACHINA
Armored Core Lite.
This is the closest thing to Armored Core on PC, honestly. It feels and plays like watered and dumbed down Armored Core 4. It lacks customization from AC, but gameplay loop as well as presentation (aka being hired by various Corporations that fighting each other) is very close. Story is absolute cringe and not worth discussing nor following. I can point out some pros and cons to break down the game
Pros:
-Closest thing to Armored Core on PC
-Plays and feels almost as AC4
-Had people who developed AC in dev team

I can highly recommend this game, it’s no armor core that’s for sure however the game does provided a lot of customization however most of it would be “locked” until you encounter that part for the mech or weapon type but overall the game is fun, story is excellent and characters are splendid I actually like about 3 or 4 that are my favorite that doesn’t the rest are bad it’s just my personal tastes really.

Garrison: Archangel
After hundreds of hours playing this game again and again, allow me to make a review about it.
GARRISON: ARCHANGEL is a Filipino-made 3D Action Mecha Anime-ish Fighting game where you take part in the creation of these mechs called “Archangels” from the provided parts given to you throughout the game. You can either play this game by one, constructing your archangel, and test it against other mechs on either AI, online or multiplayer couch combat, or two, by making your own archangel, and let the AI use it to deal with the other archangels in the game, or the builds given by other players in this game’s Discord channel.

In short: Please send help, I can’t stop building or fighting…
While the game is still in early access and things are being hammered out, improved, and added; I feel compelled to do what I believe is my first ever steam review on this title. If you love mechs, but find the small handfull of Gundam games that have hit the west lacking with their rather shallow gameplay or if you find the customization systems in Armored Core titles overly complex and cumbersome or if you dislike the “simulator” feel that most other mech games seem to have then you’re in luck.

the graphic on this game is awesome.. i will recommend.. keep develop

I really want to recommend it, but at the moment it’s unplayable unless you speak Chinese. Yes, it has subtitles but not enough, there are still entire segments that are in Chinese, as well as incorrect translations (IE: Characters naming you “Light” but then calling you “Wright”).
I’d strongly urge anyone who wants to play it to wait until it’s had more time to be developed and translated.

New Gundam Breaker
I own Gundam Breaker 3 on PS4. And this “New” version is without a doubt worst. But, on its own, it’s playable. I wasn’t sure about buying it first, so I decided to watch some streams before, and I liked what I saw.
Gundam Breaker is a series in which you create your own Gunpla, a model of a true machine. So, you don’t “really” play Gundam here, rather you play the role of a kid who uses a Gunpla to battle some other kids in a VR game. The parts you can use come in two sizes, 1/144 and 1/100. In GB3, the bigger parts had better stats, but here it seems there’s just a difference in size. You can paint your gunpla however you want, and it’s possible to create a true Frankenstein’s monster if that is your goal. Once your gunpla is finished, you can step into the arena and begin to fight.

Let me get this straight - the reason why i’m recommending this game, is because it hasn’t been abandoned, it is being updated, and it has gone a little better since it’s launch. If you are a Gundam fan, and Gunpla fan, there is something for you in this game, the freedom to build and customize is great (not as good as GB3, but that is a console exclusive), the quantity of MS you can get parts is great (250 since last update), a great selection, many custom parts to add to your build, though a bit limited on how many you can put on, graphics are really good, has original music from many series which you can select which ones you want to play during combat.

Mech Armada
I’ll probably come back and make this review a bit more in-depth (for me :p) at some later point in the game’s EA, but for now I can say it’s already a promising thing to get on the ground floor of. The dev’s got a good philosophy going and is receptive to feedback, and the parts of the game indies most often get wrong are already really crisp - the responsiveness of the UI and ability to quickly queue up moves/attacks is better than many AA games.
The bread and butter of the game is one you’ve seen before in a lot of roguelike-something games: you get offered random stuff, and try to build a synergy out of it. However, you also have an added layer of pretty high stakes tactical combat, with enemies having clearly marked threat areas and both killing and dying to your own mechs quickly. So there’s a lot of jockeying for positions, trying to make sure the only mechs that get attacked can take it, while looking to get into a position where all your synergies click and a huge chain of missile swarms annihilates all of the enemies.

Mech Armada, A Review.
So, I will give two title that might describe this game the best. Front Mission and Xcom.
Concept wise, its really like Front Mission Series. You got mechs to control in a grid, against enemy across the map. You can mix and match leg part, body part, and weapons for the mechs in your party. You could make a tank with a shield in the front and the class cannon at behind, or spamming drones and cheap mech to overwhelm your opposition. Its fun play round with the combinations.

Seraphims of Astraeus
Great mecha game with some nice customization. I was a tester for a long time with this. it is being made by only one Dev and the Bugs like the MP bug is being worked on now. You must remember this is a Early Access game it will have bugs but I can assure you all the Dev is on top of it. with that being said I do recommend this. It will only get better with time.
I will edit this review as updates roll out.
EDIT- To the people having the MP bug you must send your log to the Dev so he can Fix it!

Before I begin my review, I want to put in a pre-review note for those of you looking at the game or the mecha genre for the first time:
While I will say the game isn’t what people are expecting yet, the single dev working on this is working their ass off to get things going as fast as they can. There is a lot of promise in this game that I haven’t seen since the Gundam MMO franchises died out in North America. I’m part of the mecha genre gaming community that have been looking for the revival of the genre the way it was back when Armored Core, Exsteel, and Gundam used to stand tall as our champions in North America. I know Ayphverus can do it and his community are going to pour their hearts into helping him speed things along.

BREAK ARTS II
Normally, I don’t go out of my way to do these kinds of things (and I mean that literally as this is my first ever review), but, because of a very very VERY recent small update known as Patch 1.41, I felt I HAD to get this off my chest and hope that the developers see this.
Before this one update, I loved the customization on the game but nothing I tried could really help me to improve my capacity to steer correctly in game. I was a literal mess and a half that felt like he was skating on ice with sponges for the most part. That was, however, before 1.41 hit. The patch added a few fixes as well as a new Side Booster part, but side boosting’s always been a difficult thing to understand; let alone use optimally, but unbeknownst to anyone who hadn’t already noticed, the turning in the game actually improved.

The Good:
-
Mech customization allows for a large amount of variety
-
UI in Garage mode is very easy to work with
-
Pletny of options to customize mecha to focus on various strengths
-
Low Price
The Bad:
-
Weapons are rather weak compared to most mech games, I was expecting grenades, rockets, missles but you mainly get laser based weapons that barely feel any different from each other and things like a machine gun feels like a slow rifle from Armored Core
-
Homing weapons defeats the point of going lightweight as you lose the main advanatge of being nimble

SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS
This is a game whose enjoyment comes with several caveats: Do you like gundam (or other giant robot shows)? Do you enjoy oldschool turn based strategy? Can you overlook some rough bits of rough presentation for an otherwise pretty enough experience?
This is a very niche game for fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. I say that, but it’s geared more towards those who have watched the more modern shows (and shows that the west have more experience with). No Universal Century (barring one special machine); this focuses on Gundam’s Wing, SEED, 00, and Iron Blooded Orphans. Your enjoyment of this game is tired very closely to how much you enjoyed those series.

Super Deformed Gundam
SD Gundam G Generation is a series of strategy-RPG games that focus on the Gundam. Developed by TOM CREATE and Released by Bandai. It’s long time series since late 90s and still continue to this day. However SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays is special than other because it’s the first in this series that is officially localized outside of Japan and got released worldwide in major platform.
The game is actually very popular much like Super Robot Wars counterpart in Japan, as it’s only game that allow wide customization and ability to use many Gundam in the way beyond imagine. Countless of animations and copious eye candy fanservices, each mobile suit can have unique animations for themselves for each moveset, animation for dodging, animation for making entrance and exit and much more. The story that catches on the glimpse of beauty presented in the series are what make the them great despite the subjective Super Deformed fashion and somewhat straightforward gameplay.
