MechRunner

It would be an ok game as a phone app but that about it. Very dissappointed with the product and waist of money, hopefully they are kind enough to refund.

You have to play this game to appreciate it. Its a fun mashup of racing and shooter. First off its a rail shooter, you are essentially driving ahead whether you like it or not, dodging junk piles and shooting things, its a really cool concept executed nicely. Once you have encountered a boss, then and only then you stop, shooting out power thingies that power the bosses shields should be your first priority, after that you can lay waste to him. The graphics are amazing! Pretty decent movement and controls, took a bit to get used to tho. I never heard of this game until I got a drop from crafting with a 50% off voucher. If you like shmups at all, its a must have, its a very unique experience. I have never played a game quite like it and I have been gaming since the 70's.

I like Mechs. I like Runners. I do not like MechRunner. I thought this game looked awesome from some clips of it and especially the screenshots, so I'm disappointed that actually playing it isn't an enjoyable experience, if not a complete mess. Whereas other runner games are fluid and you can rapidly dodge or take out enemies while racking up a ton of points, I found this to be incredibly clunky with a strange stop/go/stop/go gameplay to clumsily line up shots at enemies who are obstructing your path from you progressing past them, which kills most all of the momentum and enjoyment of swiftly dealing with enemies when the controls and abilities themselves seem pretty weak or inaccurate to do much with. I imagine you can unlock better abilities later but the game seemed to want the player to grind the same areas and enemies in order to unlock the cooler stuff you could later customize your mech with. However, what I had used of the mech's equipment all felt pretty bland and some o...

Strangely addictive. Fun blast 'em up.

Has a very steep learning curve. Be sure to check out the controls in the menu first. Very fast. Very fun.

Good concept, good presentation, bad implementation. Mechrunner is a rail-shooter/runner game that entails driving a robot/tank transformer through various locations while shooting at various stuff. When you have a game built around a fast paced gameplay, such in the runner genre, you expect controls to be simple and/or flow easily. The controls in this are a mess. While you can rebind then, it doesn't solve the underlying issue of them just being awkward. Such as, having to constantly mash the shooting buttons to fire, you can't just hold down the trigger, because that gives you a charged shot that isn't nearly as effective as just rapid firing. Which, the rapid firing then results in not being able to play longer than a few minutes because you're just going to cramp your fingers by repeatedly trying to shoot while also moving at high speed trying to dodge stuff. Map designs are mostly decent to look at and decently well designed, except that the hit boxes on mech when trying to do...

Great game!

Garbage.

Just...no.
