Besides the MechWarrior series, are there any strong recommendations for Single player story (not just sandbox) Mech games for PC without micro transactions?
Not a lot of mech games,sadly but in terms of how much I'd recommend: 1. Armored Core series if you enjoy a similar speed of mech combat to Mecha Break, AC6 especially since it's the easiest to access and the most up to date. No microtransactions to my knowledge. Also heard good things about Armored Core For Answer (some argue story is much better than AC but game's older and trapped on Xbox 360 and PS3) 2. Titanfall 2 but that's more of a multiplayer FPS which comes with the campaign, you'd find that on sale pretty easily on Steam if you don't have it already. 3. MASS Builder. More of a sandbox boss rush instance-based hack and slash with essentially freeform customization and building with a small side of VN style story. Robot movement can be a bit stiff in MASS Builder, main focus is building absolutely wild robots, so it's a weaker pick. 4. Daemon X Machina. It's watered down AC6 with a pretty mid story. It went free on Epic Games at one point. I'd get AC6 instead. :) But in these trying times for Mech games, a couple story-driven games I've had my eye on WITH mechs in it would be Earth Defense Force with their giant robots and Warframe with the Necramech and its own story being solid in itself (triple A quality stuff they're putting out for free tbh). Might be F2P but it's a hell of a grindfest for weapons and levels (microtransactions optional if you know what you're doing)
Huge mecha fan here. Been waiting all year for this game. I cant wait 😭
2025 release can't be any sooner, I miss my stationary turret 🥲
I mean if not the tsundere then the kundere Rei.
Not wrong there 🤣, also Nikke has an Evangelion collaboration if you're a cultured commander, ends in 3 to 4 days time at the time of writing this.
