AirMech Arena

Terrible servers make it difficult to want to go back to play more AirMech Arena. Its ideas are interesting, playing against bots can be fun for a time, and the in-game purchases are fair and don’t feel oppressive. But when you’re ready to fight against waves of enemies with friends in Survival or boost your levels in ranked matches, rampant server issues turn fun experiences into sources of frustration.

When you play against other humans AirMech Arena is incredibly fun. Personally I preferred to take a MOBA-like approach of killing the opposition while slowly gaining a sizeable advantage and creating a small army. However many people I played against would avoid confrontation altogether in favor of a more traditional RTS style. Fans of either genre will enjoy themselves in AirMech Arena, and it may even convert a few naysayers – it has certainly made me a lot more interested in real-time strategy.

Si, sur le papier, AirMech Arena est loin de faire rêver, on doit bien admettre que la formule fonctionne à merveille une fois la manette entre les mains. Les néophytes apprécieront certainement son approche pédagogique du MOBA, tandis que les adeptes du genre prendront un malin plaisir à mettre en place différentes tactiques pour déjouer les plans de l'adversaire.
