The long ads are so time consuming that it’s a major distraction. Even worse there is little payoff for watching them. ### 3/5 — Limited *2025-06-09* Once you get through the 2nd chapter of story missions you are done and can only do the random missions or arena. Also the bonuses for watching adds stops at that point as well ### 4/5 — Cool but flawed *2025-05-13* I’m enjoying the core gameplay, but the customization seems lacking. I want to be able to use custom multicolor paint schemes, that was half the fun of battletech! ### 3/5 — Pay to win is too obvious *2025-03-23* The game play is good. Very reminiscent of table top bettletech, very good. Very enjoyable. The “pay to win/play” mechanism is very thinly veiled and the balance is skewed in that regard. Past a few hours of game play, the game completely stagnates so that you have to start buying options. There is no way to grind the game and progress on your on. I understand that the game was made to make money, but the mechanism that encourages that is so thinly veiled that it spoils the entertainment a little. It’s very ham fisted in that regard. ### 4/5 — Enemy power scaling is broken. *2025-01-29* The side missions just keep getting increasingly more difficult every time I do a main mission or war, and even every time I login. Basically, every time I pull up the game, J miss out on missions until it eventually soft-locks me with twice the power scale. ### 3/5 — Missions won’t load after current update. *2025-01-03* Seems broke. Check your discord ### 2/5 — More pseudo-battletech trash *2024-12-10* Yup, its garbage ### 3/5 — Need 4th mech *2024-12-06* Tired of fighting 12 mechs with 3 ### 2/5 — Верните шаг! *2024-10-23* Была классная игра до последнего кривого обновления, после которого её фишка потеряна! Разработчики, зачем вы убрали у мехов один шаг(скорость)???!!! Баланс нарушен!! Играть стало неинтересно. Манёвренность теперь отсутствует, все тупо стреляют друг в друга куда придётся, потому что ограничение в ходьбе и тактических манёврах! И в следствии этого теперь отбить у вражеского меха пушки, и потом получить с него несчастные две запчасти вообще теперь почти невозможно, а их и так постоянно не хватает! Опять же, возвращаясь к маневренности: Теперь врага проще просто убить, или он это сделает, пока ты будешь пытаться его с фланга обойти(( Пожалуйста верните, как было!!🙏 И дополнительная просьба: сделайте может быть какие-то дополнительные миссии или что-то ещё для добычи запчастей, или(и) хоть чуть давайте их после прохождения миссий а то уж совсем с ними беда(( Вернёте скорость +1, поставлю 5!! Надеюсь на вашу адекватность **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, для увеличения скорости можно надеть ускоритель на легкого меха и прокачать способность Адреналин, тогда у вас будет очень быстрый мех ### 3/5 — It’s decent, but could be better. *2024-10-03* - Different pilots do not have unique abilities. Making them pointless to collect. -You cannot change the direction of your mech after walking unless you are shooting at someone. -If you reload first, the game skips your movement. You have to move first, then reload. Not great. -There is at least one siege mission where an enemy mech is stuck behind a building out of range, forcing you to retreat. **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re currently working on making pilots more unique, addressing movement and action mechanics, and improving mission layouts. Your input is really helpful for making the game better! ### 3/5 — After update, no Game Center save progress and purchases… *2024-08-01* Update with no “Game Center” availability made me lose all progress and $40 worth of purchases. Pressing the restore purchases did nothing. Also the game can no longer customize colors with current update. Also please bring back the ability to disband disassemble a squad member and mech from team. The old option to rename pilots are also missing. Now that I replayed the game and unlocked everything, please have Game Center available to save my progress across devices and purchases! **Developer response:** We’re currently working on adding the Game Center save function, so your progress and purchases will be preserved across devices. We appreciate your feedback and are addressing the customization and other missing features in upcoming updates. Thank you for your patience and support! ### 4/5 — Okay but tend to delete your data if you don't play *2024-07-26* It a great game. It almost like battletech (video game) and is a good replacement for it for the phones. The only issue I have is the fact that it will delete your data it seems after awhile of non play time. This lastest update I decided to get back into the game (after a year break) and it restarted me from the very beginning. **Developer response:** Hello! We're glad you enjoy the game and find it a good alternative to Battletech on phones. Due to limitations in the original architecture, we had to reset all progress to improve the game and add new content. Thank you for your understanding and for giving the game another try! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 広告うぜぇ *2026-03-13* 強制広告 ### 1/5 — Same old garbage *2025-10-29* Same old thing, you know the drill by now, either constantly wanting your money, morbidly depressing advertising model and eventually the game becomes grind to levels of insanity or give us your cash to get anywhere. ### 1/5 — It’s full of ads!!!! : D *2025-05-15* It doesn’t matter how good or bad a game is, after a few hours of watching ads as much or more than you play, you start to associate the game with the joy of watching ads for other games that are equally full of ads! :D ### 1/5 — Very poor user interface *2024-09-30* Mechs get stranded behind buildings with no way to engage forcing you to surrender and you can’t scroll or rotate the map. **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We’re already looking into improving map navigation and mission layouts to prevent mechs from getting stranded. Do you recall which mission had this issue? It will help us address it more quickly! ### 1/5 — All content and purchases lost *2024-09-11* Since the update, all my content has been lost and the whole thing has been reset, no in game support, and the restore purchases button does nothing, am gutted as was looking like a very good game, I had all max mechs and weapons, all gone. Further more from your response to this unresolved issue, there is nothing in your terms and conditions that erasing my data due to an update that I’m not entitled to a refund, so could you please direct me to where I can get a full refund on my purchases. **Developer response:** Hello! We apologize for the inconvenience. Due to limitations in the original architecture, we had to reset all progress to improve the game and add new content. Thank you for your understanding. ### 1/5 — 敵が強すぎ *2024-01-17* 敵さんが強くて味方が居ない状況マジきつい、心折れそうです。 **Developer response:** こんにちは！ゲームが難しいと感じる場合もありますよね。バランスの調整や新しい仲間を追加することを検討していきますので、ぜひもう少し頑張ってみてください。応援しています！ ### 2/5 — Ads after every 2 minute game?? *2026-03-23* It’s a good game but you will look at stupid ads for 9/10 of the time on the app. It’s overwhelming ### 2/5 — 一見面白そうに見えるが *2025-10-21* 一見面白そうに見えるが、内容は未完成のようだ。メカにもパイロットにも個性を持たせられないし、ストーリーもなく、同じことの繰り返しになる。 ### 2/5 — Last update ruined. *2025-01-23* Was great game. Last update made enemies maxed. Or I just got too high level and broke game. ### 2/5 — Loves game but *2024-12-16* Hey I love the game it is just like battletech but when I’m trying to upgrade my mech it keeps eating my building points ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Хорошо, но мало *2025-11-01* Тоже нашел игру по запросу Front Mission, и что я скажу. Сделано не плохо. Но очень мало. Не хватает интересной и разнообразной сюжетки. Нет более большой и разветвленной прокачки навыков. Нельзя выбирать где высадить мехов в начале раунда. Оружия по сути всего 4. Нет кастетов, дубин, электрошокеров, ракетниц. После одного дня игры все становиться однообразно и скатывается в то что приходиться бесконечно биться 3на3 с плюс минус одинаковой тактикой ради ресурсов чтобы изучить и купить более сильного меха/ оружие/ модуль. Всё. И даже когда ты купишь более сильного меха, ничего от этого не измениться. Всё будет так же, только хп у тебя будет больше и у врагов так же. Цифры меняются, но как в начале игры ты сбиваешь оружие с врага за 2-3 выстрела так и в фул прокачке. Скачать и поиграть денёк, точно стоит. Ностальгия, начальный азарт тут есть. Но хотелось бы конечно развития игры, хотя бы в сюжетном плане. Про арену и типа клановые битвы молчу. Ничем от боев в коротенькой сюжетке или от побочных заданий не отличается. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-07-31* Fun game. Well made and great campaign. You can play and enjoy the game without paying any money ### 5/5 — Reminds me of Battletech! *2025-02-23* I just need more clans, familiar mechs, and plethora storylines to choose from. Would love to see this game gain popularity and and expansion in that Battletech-reminiscent universe. ### 5/5 — У игры большой потенциал *2024-12-27* Игра отличная, но хотелось бы больше разных роботов, модулей и пушек. Жду обновлений ### 5/5 — Бомба но мало *2024-12-05* Добрый день. Игра суперская . Но очень быстро пришел к её логическому завершению . Расскажите будут ли обновления для разнообразия игры? ### 5/5 — Très Sympa *2024-07-24* Je reposte l’avis car la note n’était pas celle que j’avais enregistré: Beau, stable, fluide et gameplay intéressant, la batterie n’est pas trop mangée. Mérite un côté plus « intéressant » pour prolonger la durée de vie ou pimenter le jeu mais une base solide est bien présente ! Il manque peut-être plus de possibilitédurant les batailles, le côté « dégâts en fonction du blindage » n’est pas mal, hâte de voir les prochaines mises à jour ! **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci pour vos commentaires positifs. Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez la stabilité, la fluidité et le gameplay de notre jeu. Nous prendrons en compte votre suggestion pour rendre le jeu encore plus captivant et prolonger sa durée de vie. Bonne continuation et merci pour votre soutien ! ### 5/5 — ミリタリーマックス！ *2024-07-13* このゲームは最高すぎます！ ただし難しい時は上手くなりまししょう あと、メカがかっこよすぎます **Developer response:** こんにちは！ゲームを楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。難しい時は練習を重ねてください。メカも気に入っていただけて光栄です。応援ありがとうございます！ ### 5/5 — Front mission *2024-02-18* Игру выдало по запросу front mission, думал может портировали на телефон или вышла новая часть, но нет Есть подобие и в принципе неплохое **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Рады, что вы нашли наше подобие игры Front Mission интересным. Надеемся, что вам понравится наш проект и вы получите удовольствие от игры! Спасибо за ваш отзыв! ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-11-26* Good game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-09-18* This is an awesome game I suggest everyone play this game know --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
