I bounced off the demo a long time ago, but having finally jumped into the full Early Access game it's a much richer and more entertaining game than the early stages suggest, once you've moved a little further into the tech tree and been granted access to less linear maps which really undersell the game's potential. It becomes genuinely exciting and challenging once large numbers of tough enemies are being inserted from multiple directions into complex urban spaces deeper into the game. While less visually detailed, this game provides a far more tactically satisfying urban combat simulation than Brigador with a way more engaging experience of playing tiny exo-size mechs or ultra light small vehicles to maximise your income multiplier and make the sneakiest hit-and-relocate attacks while cutting through building interiors and walls - and far more of a sense of immense scale when running a huge, grindingly slow up-armoured tank or massive artillery mech. The ability to call in drones, turrets and artillery strikes from various tech trees really enhances the experience, as you can manipulate the enemy AI with timed distractions, delay and split up formations as they chase you through bottlenecks canyons or complex city-blocks, and it's generally just exciting and consistently satisfying to play between the constant flow of new toys to unlock and the sense of progression as your upgrades simultaneously give you bigger and nastier machines, but also make your smaller, weaker, older options far more viable through module modifications and new equipment to massively up-gun and up-armour even the earliest machines. Making use of those distractions I mentioned above also allows the larger enemies to be flanked, to focus fire on disabling and destroying specific components, taking away their most dangerous weapons and slowing them down, shredding armour, before retreating back to safety to gain distance again while your call-ins recharge. This combination of piecemeal destruction of exceptionally dangerous, huge enemies and distracting support abilities allows for exactly the kind of clever hit-and-run tactical play games like Brigador and most other mech-themed shooters entirely lack. Having mentioned Brigador as a comparison; give Mech Havoc your support, both in terms of buying it during EA and sharing it with others - this kind of tactical top-down/isometric/long third person mecha/tank shooter is a great genre that fell out of favour for a long time, but the most prominent example on the market until relatively recently is a game made by people with the most disgusting worldviews, and who campaign online in support of neonazi political parties. Help shift the focus away from Brigador, onto a skilled developer who isn't actively working to hurt others and make the world a worse place.
If you watched the store page video that's what you get. It's a competent twin-stick vehicle shooter. There is nothing special or revolutionary here but there really doesn't need to be. Sometimes all something needs to be is a good example of its genre without any frills, and Mech Havoc is that.
I judge my battlemech games by their gauss rifle satisfaction levels. This game is a very high A to near S level of satisfaction. The right level of glow, speed, penetration, impact and oomph. It punches through tons of metal like hulk punches through a wall. It's like ball slapping kinds of goodness, the kind that makes you go "yes, more please" as it foooms through the hull of some poor soul who sees his lower left leg evaporate into nothing because of an extremely high speed chunk of metal slicing through it faster than Miyamoto Musashi slices through his loser opponents. Bonuses: every other weapon feels great - rail gun is a rail gun, turns tonnage into ground beef somehow - like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ magic. Rapid fire shotguns accurately depict the feeling of pounding the hell out of some dummy who thought you were a gummy for eatin'. No friend, you're getting sprayed by giant pellets. I like this game. Only downsides so far are steam deck performance is ok at best (really slows down in big fights) and content is still not quite there. I'd love a horde mode - some last man standing kind of crap where I get to endless fire a slug straight through the core of some giant mech and see it explode into a thousand pieces. Excellent buy!
Such simple, good fun! The tech tree thus far is pretty well laid out, and the options for what you can pilot are decently diverse. I can't wait for more maps, more mechs, and more mayhem! Honestly, this is a superbly thought out and well-developed game. It's worth the money now, and I trust it will be worth more in time! Idea for the devs: I would love to see an "endless" mode that procedurally gets harder and heavier, counting score until you die. This sort of game would be PERFECT for a game mode like that. Just a thought =)
