Armor Attack: Mech & Tank PvP

For a game still in beta, it does a decent job at what it sets out to do. As a War Robots player of over 9 years, I like how the game offers a nice break from the pay2win nonsense War Robots has become. That said, it is not without flaws. The economy is centered around faction-based tokens and silver to upgrade your mechs and weapons. This system would be fine, if not for how you get those tokens. They come from lootboxes, which would randomly give you a set amount of tokens from all factions. This makes it frustrating to target specific upgrades, especially after opening multiple boxes (from battle crates and spending gold) and getting none of the tokens you actually need. The lootbox economy really hurts progression in the game. Instead of feeling rewarded for time spent playing, it often feels like you’re spinning a slot machine hoping to get the tokens you want to upgrade that favorite mech of yours. Regardless, the gameplay is solid. Every mech has a unique playstyle and has distinct roles to play when you drop them in the battlefield (there is no one size fits all).

I am loving this game so far, unique and great robots, weapons, maps, and currency and power simplicity, as well as the game being very free to play and accessible. The beginning of the game is simple, the items and robots are simple and easy to understand with a bit of reading, and playing each robot and weapon gives it’s own gameplay and style. There are two things though that I am a bit frustrated about the game about. The first thing in the silver shortage. I am in Gold 1 now and play for over 2 weeks, and my Empyreal faction is all at least level 5. After that everything is so expensive that it takes like a few days to upgrade an item, and the weapon and character tokens are very limited, an cost silver to get the chests that is one grindy cycle. More silver from the quests would be better, or even a reduction to the cost of silver the weapons or robots require to upgrade them. The other thing is the Hermit faction. I believe that the robots in the faction are balanced, but some weapons aren’t. Most notably the Torrent and Hornet weapons. They are quite overpowered in damage per second and can shred any robot out of nowhere. I have had several encounters where I just get shredded out of nowhere, and I think there is also a bullet bug were you can’t see the bullets firing at you. Please nerf those weapons and buff silver quests, but other that that, I love this new War Robots style game. Maybe you devs came from the failing War Robots and decided to make your own version of it! Thank you for reading and I hope you read this review in it’s entirety, and I hope that this game becomes a super popular and successful PvP action game! - Alex

For the love of god can we remove the stupid ai players, i would much rather spend 24 searching for a match and play one game a day than play multiple with computer puppets, when one focuses your robot you cannot make them target someone else on your team, they will have my entire team shooting them right up in their face and they will still target you even after they die and respawn, i have so many more complaints about the game that i know you all are going to if not have already solved, and i want to have fun with the game, but it just makes it extremely difficult when the enemy gets real players and im stuck with computer puppets for a team and they don’t back me up or they push up or the hardly ever capture beacons and die to fast or instead of targeting a enemy with you to destroy them faster they just walk right past them. So please can we get that fixed or removed entirely for the beta i know what purpose they serve but im telling you that they are not good for the game right now
