AirMech Wastelands is an unusual blend of action RPG, mech combat, strategy, loot progression, and cooperative play that takes the familiar AirMech concept in a more adventure-focused direction. Developed and published by Carbon Games, it places players in an alternate version of America after modern civilization has been devastated by global conflict. Humanity survives in isolated communities while powerful machines continue their assault on the remaining population. As one of the rare pilots capable of controlling the old AirMech technology, you begin as a scavenger and gradually develop into someone capable of leading armies and challenging the mechanical forces threatening humanity. The top-down perspective initially makes the game resemble an action-oriented strategy title, but there is considerably more happening beneath the surface. You directly control a transforming AirMech while exploring environments, fighting enemies, completing missions, collecting resources, and improving your equipment. Strategic elements appear through the ability to build and command units, giving battles a larger scale than a typical action RPG. Instead of simply destroying everything personally, you can use supporting forces while positioning your AirMech where its abilities will have the greatest impact. Character progression is one of the strongest parts of the experience. Players create and develop their own pilot, improving statistics and skills while acquiring equipment that enhances combat effectiveness. Progression is also closely connected to the AirMechs themselves. Different machines provide their own abilities and tactical possibilities, encouraging experimentation rather than forcing players to remain attached to a single configuration. Finding new technology becomes an important part of both the story and the gameplay loop. The equipment system adds a satisfying loot-driven element. Parts become progressively stronger and allow an AirMech to be customized into a more capable war machine. Equipment can be obtained from combat encounters, quest rewards, vendors, and more challenging areas. This creates a familiar but effective cycle of completing missions, obtaining better components, strengthening a build, and returning to face increasingly dangerous opposition. Players interested in optimization can spend considerable time pursuing powerful prototype and legendary equipment. There are also sections where the pilot operates outside the AirMech, including missions involving infiltration of enemy facilities to recover technology. These moments help establish the pilot as an actual participant in the story rather than merely an interface through which the player controls a giant machine. They also provide some variety between the larger mech encounters, even if the mechanical warfare remains the main attraction. Cooperative play significantly improves the game's appeal. Story missions can be tackled alone, but players can also invite friends or use online matchmaking to work together. Multiple AirMechs fighting alongside supporting units can turn battles into energetic mechanical clashes, and cooperative play gives players opportunities to combine different builds and abilities. Solo progression remains possible, although anyone primarily interested in offline single-player gaming should be aware that the game requires an internet connection and a Carbon Games account. The post-apocalyptic setting works well with the gameplay structure. Exploring what remains of America while recovering forgotten technology gives progression some narrative purpose beyond simply watching numbers increase. The mystery surrounding the machines' continued attempts to destroy humanity provides motivation for moving deeper into hostile territory. The narrative is not exceptionally elaborate, but it successfully connects the missions, exploration, technological discoveries, and increasing strength of the player's forces. Its greatest strength is also responsible for some of its weaknesses. AirMech Wastelands attempts to combine several genres at once. Action combat, RPG progression, RTS mechanics, loot hunting, cooperative multiplayer, pilot customization, and mech upgrades provide plenty of variety, but the resulting experience can sometimes feel less focused than games dedicated to a single style. Newcomers may also need time to understand how the different progression and tactical systems interact. Once everything starts to make sense, however, commanding units while personally fighting in a transforming war machine becomes the game's distinctive identity. Long-term progression extends beyond the main sequence of missions. Difficult combat areas provide reasons to search for superior equipment, while different AirMechs and skill development encourage alternative builds. Achievements and other repeatable objectives add further incentives for players who enjoy completion and equipment hunting. The game consequently works better for someone interested in gradually developing a powerful character and machine than for someone seeking a short, heavily scripted campaign. Steam Deck compatibility is a notable concern. AirMech Wastelands does not currently carry a Valve Steam Deck Verified or Playable designation, and its Steam listing is Windows-focused with only partial controller support. It should therefore be regarded as unsupported or unverified for Steam Deck rather than purchased specifically as a guaranteed handheld experience. Compatibility through Proton may vary, and the mandatory online elements introduce another consideration for portable use. AirMech Wastelands ultimately succeeds because there are relatively few action RPGs built around this particular combination of transforming mechs, direct combat, army management, equipment hunting, and cooperative progression. The individual components are not equally polished, and the always-online requirement limits its appeal as a traditional single-player RPG, but its unusual mixture gives it personality. Building a pilot from a struggling scavenger into the commander of increasingly devastating machinery produces a satisfying sense of advancement, while hunting for better parts provides a compelling reason to continue playing after mastering the fundamentals. For players attracted to mechs, RPG progression, cooperative missions, loot collection, and light real-time strategy, this is a distinctive experience with more depth than its straightforward top-down presentation initially suggests. Its genre blending and online requirements prevent it from being an effortless recommendation for everyone, but those willing to embrace its interconnected systems can find a surprisingly substantial mechanical adventure. Rating: 7/10
This was actually really fun. I am not good at PvP Airmech, and this was a blessing that helps grind for parts and levels, which transfer over to PvP Airmech. I am slow, no where near the PvP level of gameplay, because I just like to turtle and conserve units. It is co-op and rather chill. Airmech games are a pair of "shoot 'em up" RTS that I come back to just to play something else. PvP is not for casuals. haha
I like it. It's not a perfect game, but I like it. update a bit later: disregard the bottom half of the review, you just need to set your launch to %command% /dx11 to run on proton I can't however recommend it. The game is dead in the water. No gameplay, no hub-world, not even a loading screen. Game just locks up on the main menu and opens a blank browser window.
