No complexity but definitely entertaining. Would look forward to continued expansions ### 3/5 — A manual would have helped *2023-04-27* Gameplay is confusing without a bit of gameplay explaination. ### 4/5 — A little basic *2022-02-20* Admittedly I’m only a few levels in but I can’t see any strategy more complex than max out your unit numbers in the cheapest build and throw them all at the enemy together (while the enemy is gracious enough to attach you with one mech at a time making it quite easy to overpower). Otherwise gameplay is smooth and at least entertaining. 4* ### 4/5 — Simple fun *2020-08-09* I ask for a simple fun game, and that is what this is. No forced ads and easy to get into. I would like to see more map diversity, but it is still a good game. ### 4/5 — What the HACK? *2019-07-21* Why are the bots hacking? I can only have like 7 bots while the enemies have like 14 bots? Its unfair. They are also flying over water. The enemy bots have an advantage over my bots. Only 7 bots VS like 43 bots. Please make the game fair. Other than that, it is a very fun and addicting game! ### 5/5 — Sweet *2018-11-24* Finally found a game that isn’t pay to play. 99c and you get a great add free game. Gameplay has been good, mechanics are good, graphics are fine. Overall this is the best game I have found in a long time. ### 3/5 — App design issue? *2018-10-18* You can’t go back from start a match ### 5/5 — Отличная мобильная RTS *2018-01-06* С момента первой части добавили режим Захвата, очень прикольно, напоминает режим кампании из Dune 2000, только упрощенную. Надеюсь в следующих частях разработчики добавят более основательную кампанию и мультиплеер. В целом на данный момент ничего лучше на платформе не нашёл. ### 5/5 — Yay!!!! *2017-11-26, version 1.31* Yay!!!! As I said earlier :) ### 5/5 — Nope *2017-11-07* Pass on this game. It is not any fun and all the other revues are lies this game is bad! Difficulty very high no help in app just a cash grab from the developer. ### 5/5 — Good, Solid, and easy to learn RTS *2017-09-25* I normally don’t write reviews for iPad games, but this one is an exception. The game can be really tricky At times and you just have to use strategy to get out of those spots. Also when you cut off the enemies (AI) cash flow, they can’t produce ships and are left defenceless. Which is great! GG’s to the this developer. ### 4/5 — Fun, easy to play RTS *2017-08-27* Easy to get started and fun to play. A little confusing at first but you can figure it out. Definitely worth the $. ### 5/5 — Fun, straightforward RTS *2017-07-11* Really simple controls and gameplay make this well worth .99 upfront cost. No ads or IAP to worry about, wish there were more games like this. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game! Well done! *2017-06-25* I was pining for my old days playing Starcraft, so I searched in the App Store for it. This game saved me from total disappointment. There is no mobile Starcraft, which is too bad, but this game is a great mobile alternative. The concepts are exactly the same, futuristic units, base development, resource management, and of course total domination of the map. The game cost $0.99, and has zero ads, and zero in-app purchases. You don't reach a point where you either have to wait, face insurmountable odds, or spend money to continue enjoying the game. There is great variety in the maps, and custom game setup. The graphics are good, not too sophisticated, and the controls are super simple. I have experienced no glitches or bugs so far. Strong work GameDevTeam. This app stands out in a sea of commercializations and ads. I'd gladly pay $0.99 for a game like this any day over all the free ones out there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many glitches *2022-01-16* You can build two mechs and then no matter how much money you have I can only build 2/15. Those two can’t even beat 1 computer mech. The touch controls work horrible on the iPhone 13. And there’s no campaign….. not worth $.30 ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2019-12-14, version 1.31* Garbage bots are fkn overpowered bs system of play PASS TRUST ME YOULL THANK ME LATER ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-06-22* So glad i wasted a whole dollar on this big pile of garbage ### 1/5 — An insult to Starcraft *2019-02-27* I loved all the Starcraft RTS, and beat them all. I played them more than once. This may initially look like StarCraft but is not even a comparison. The game is terribly balanced. It’s a waste of time and money. Very little to no strategy. ### 1/5 — How about a tutorial? *2016-09-04, version 1.3* I couldn't figure out how to make more fighting units. This game should give you some instructions rather than just throwing you to the wolves. ### 1/5 — 보ㅗㅗㄴ *2014-10-02* 너무 쉬움.. 유닛간 상성도 없어서 전략이랄거도 없음 ### 1/5 — 아 이게 뭐냐 *2014-02-24* 아 진짜 처음부터 제일 센놈 나오면 어떡하냐 내 유닛들은 움직이지도 않고 이게 뭐냐 아 시간낭비하네 진짜 내가 이걸 지우고서도.. 아 진짜 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-06-29* Not at all worth the $0.99 ### 2/5 — Basic and repetitive *2024-04-04* Yes it’s cheap but it’s also dull. After few levels you realise that you have seen the entire game. You simply do the same thing over and over again. ### 2/5 — I’m sorry... *2019-11-12* ...it’s just boring. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — RTS more like RTFun *2024-10-22* This game literally keeps me on my toes, if I take my sweet time I have play the long waiting game so it’s fun trying to see how fast I can out smart the AI. 🥸 ### 5/5 — Still awesome in 2022 *2022-10-29, version 1.32* Title says it all. Perfect if you want a light and easy yet fun RTS that scratches all the right itches ### 5/5 — Great game but a bit shallow. The price is right *2022-10-22* Great game but a bit shallow. The price is right ### 5/5 — Joy For $1 *2021-01-02* The sea of mobile games may be over-saturated with cash grabs and cheap knock-offs, but you end up finding similarities for almost any game you’d want to play thanks to that over-abundance. MechCom was initially my answer for StarCraft on mobile and will immediately appeal to fans of that game. You’ll immediately start with building refineries for your all-important resource mining, and this step is key. MechCom has a finite amount of resources for each map and they’re clearly identified in yellow when you start. It’s like chess, very easy to pick up and quite difficult to master. There are four different types of mount for your mechs and four different types of weapons, and an armory will upgrade key points multiple times for a cost. Initially, you’ll just be able to craft a handful of mechs and destroy opposition, but bigger maps give more available resources points. Focus on just a few and enjoy a never-ending swarm of enemy troops until you’re broke and wiped out! The key here is to develop resource mining, keep it protected with troops or turrets, and quickly expand to other points to continue that resource flow. Here’s a quick chart to get you started: Machine Gun - Fast to build, but weak. Cannon - Stronger, but still weak. Laser - Excellent for single troops or buildings. Rocket - Point and shoot, powerful and able to hit multiple targets. Wheels - Fast, but weak armor. Hover - Able to cross over water and bypass roads. Legs - Fast and sturdy. Treads - Tank-level plating but slow. This review should have you started on a path of development. The game will get increasingly difficult with time, it can get frustrating when you get swarmed by the enemy but later missions become a really enjoyable skirmish with a few hundred troops expended by battle’s end! It’s fair to note that your troop AI is a bit dense and you’ll get frustrated with them not doing what you’re telling them, and the double tap to select units can be spotty. The mechanics are a bit sloppy overall but the presentation and replay value is great, it’s one of the best dollars I’ve ever spent on here and I highly encourage you to give it a try! ### 5/5 — Rating *2019-12-26* Game is bottom line great for killing time ### 5/5 — Easy Fun *2019-09-23* Spending my time in the airport playing this easy fun game! ### 5/5 — Thoroughly addictive *2019-08-06* Once you figure out how to play the game, it’s hard to stop. ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2019-06-29* Неплохая игрушка, но нахватает мультиплеера! ### 5/5 — Pretty fun, worth more than I payed *2018-12-09* Bought the pack with all 3 MechCom games. Really enjoying the first one so far. Pretty simple controls, if a little touchy sometimes (pardon the pun). I would suggest trying out this one if you like strategy games on pc and haven’t found one for mobile gaming yet. I’m playing this on my 9.7” screen iPad and it’s working great. Don’t think I’d play this on my phone with its smaller screen. ### 5/5 — It’s a gem *2018-11-30* It’s worth it!
