Mecha Break launched early today, quickly garnering more than 50,000 players within just 10 minutes thanks to its appealing robotic mechanics. However, not all initial impressions have been positive, as players express dissatisfaction with its monetization structure.

At the time of writing, the game’s Steam rating leans towards Mixed, with only 65% of reviews being positive. A primary concern among players involves the fact that customization options, which were previously available in the beta phase, are now locked behind paywalls in the full launch.

One player, Vellie, stated: “Was a huge fan of both the betas that came out, but instantly lost all desire to even start up a game after seeing how much of the customization that was in the beta being either removed entirely, or added behind a paywall and user marketplace.”

While some continue to enjoy the gameplay experience, others criticize the model as leading towards a pay-to-win environment, citing concerns over various monetization tactics that might affect gameplay.

Mecha Break is now available on Steam, and its developers, Amazing Seasun Games, have acknowledged the community’s feedback, stating that they are listening and making adjustments where possible.
