Mecha Break Open Beta Draws Over 300,000 Players Despite Backlash

The multiplayer mech shooter faces criticism for monetization, server issues, and anti-cheat concerns, but its gameplay and design earn praise.

Mecha Break's open beta surpassed 300,000 concurrent players, briefly ranking in Steam's top five most-played games.
The game has received mixed reviews, with only 34% of over 6,000 user reviews on Steam being positive.
Criticism has focused on monetization practices, server instability, performance issues, and the use of kernel-level anti-cheat software.
Positive reviews highlight the game's engaging gameplay, mech designs, and potential for customization in the full release.
Developer Amazing Seasun Games has apologized for server issues and offered in-game compensation while preparing for the game's full launch in Spring 2025.
