★★★★ PVP Pass Player 5/2/2026 v3.430.00
Lost everything
My account has been erased along with more money than I’d care to admit from passes and buying deals from the stores. I’ll never play this game again.
★★★★ There nothing available 5/2/2026 v3.430.00
Terrible
The developers of this game do nothing to improve any aspects of it. The pairing of bots is terrible. Constantly being paired against maxed bots with pilots, mods and weapons while you try to improve your team is pointless you can win. They only want you to spend. This is not a game to play recreationally. If you want success you will have to pay hundreds to remotely have any good experience. The follow up and responses appear to be canned AI answers. Hard to believe that a company only has 3 people responding to input. Don’t post too often since the feedback portion of the game will often crash and not allow you to finish entries. The cursor will move on you causing you to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to type out your entry. Issues reported have been out there for months at a time with no resolutions. They in fact have become worse
★★★★ John 899 5/2/2026 v3.430.00
Mean ad
They got people who have basic mechs a loser they should be careful what they say because they could really trigger somebody’s emotions so the guy who said that is rude and cancel that ad that was mean and not nice
★★★★ Gfgjddgjysgy 5/2/2026 v3.430.00
I WANT A REFUND!!!!
I just spent 4500 a coins (the currency) in this game on a pack trying to get a better gun because this game is insanely pay to win. And I didn’t even get the gun. Don’t waste your time with this game unless you’re willing to lose pretty much every game or pay 100s of dollars trying to keep up with everyone else:(
★★★★ Noah Bailey👍 5/2/2026 v3.430.00
This game is pay to win 😒
Everything is pay to win after a certain point you don’t earn enough a coins and you just get steamrolled after a certain point
★★★★ Mdjsojfb 5/1/2026 v3.430.00
Only fun if you pay
Only fun if you buy everything.
★★★★ qqssxxfftt 5/1/2026 v3.430.00
Do not download
This is a horrible game from a really bad design team. Matchmaking is really bad, crowd control on mechs makes game unplayable for way too long, the game is more pay to win than 99% of the games in the App Store. Do not waste time or money, stay away from this game
★★★★ DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! 4/30/2026 v3.430.00
Worthless matchmaking
They should just shut down the game for a month and re-do the whole matchmaking logic. It is very much worthless at this point when the game constantly matches you with overpowered enemies that has much higher ranked mechs and weapons. Let’s not even talk about the hackers in the game and the screwed up mech ratings system.
★★★★ So good but a problem 4/29/2026 v3.430.00
What the heck!!!!!😡😡😡😡
Every time my friend and me play this game we get killed and loose every single time! And I’m almost back at division 10! Make the game less hard please plus we never get good things in the event crates just junk we don’t need!
★★★★ Developer scamming customers 4/29/2026 v3.430.00
Poor management
This game is a scam. It’s fine for a bit, but they overcharge for everything. If anybody’s in a class action lawsuit please let me know . This game is poor managed same level levels. Nothing’s improved. All they do is overcharge you for weapons and make no sense and mix that when you play with them, it turns into Looney Tunes not robots. The developers and the admin management are fired poor management. Anybody wants to make a better game please let me know.
★★★★ Ihatemoderngames 4/29/2026 v3.430.00
It's a Scam
Game is a literal rip off scam. The rules for winning rolls is rigged. Not just typical game of chance rigged. More like the difference between a digital coin slot vs an actual mechanical one. Where they clearly program it to make you lose, even if you landed on a win, just to waste your time and money.
★★★★ rs_808 4/26/2026 v3.430.00
Rigged
New tournaments are rigged! They put all the weak people on your team and all the strong people on the opposing team so it’s impossible to win.
★★★★ 1964- 4/25/2026 v3.430.00
Can’t even live… Literally
This game has so many mechs to pay money for to where at this point it’s not fun for me. I die every time and can’t even have the fun that this game has. If anything just add ranked based matches or make different mechs be able to get with in game money. Though I do recommend the tanked based matched so I am teamed up and fighting against people that are the same level as me Thank you for your time :)
★★★★ Bruhilya 4/25/2026 v3.430.00
Пофиксите турниры
В новом обновлении турниры были изменены. По началу я играл против врагов моего уровня прокачки. Но отыграв несколько десятков боёв и повысив своё звание против меня стали попадаться абсолютно не сопоставимые по прокачкам враги. Что бы понять до какого абсурда это доходит, я, используя Surge и Revoker нападаю на врага со спины и даже с преимуществом не могу его физически убить! У них в разы больше ХП и урона. Это абсолютно бредово и не справедливо. Изменение турниров получилось очень удачным, за исключением бредового подбора перекаченных противников. Пофиксите турнир, добавьте нормальную систему подбора врагов, и будет 5 звёзд
★★★★ Support is pathetic 4/21/2026 v3.430.00
Was fun
Game was fun until you get against players that can kill you in 1 shot with a weapon that is obviously glitched. You send videos and screenshots to support but they close your request with no comment. There support team is one of the worst you could even possibly come up with. I believe it is all AI that actually does nothing. Save your time and money this game is heavily hacked.
★★★★ Edward huling 4/19/2026 v3.430.00
Spawn campers
No way to protect our mechs from being spawned camped by campers.

★★★★ ARTIV04 4/19/2026 v3.430.00
Rip off… literally
I purchased a battle pass and got nothing in return, literally, I was just ripped off. I had to go fight this with apple. The game is riddled with bugs and other issues.
★★★★★ GoldenSpecter 5/6/2026 v3.430.00
Buggy
Keeps kicking me off the game on start up
★★★★★ Goodguy414 4/28/2026 v3.430.00
P2w
The game is fun. Don’t get me wrong. It just sucks that it’s. P2w and also the power level isn’t fair when doing tournaments you have an individual extremely strong and paid a lot of money going against people that grind hard to get to where they at I don’t mind giving y’all more stars if y’all fix the pay to win and the prices
★★★★★ ARF_ 4/21/2026 v3.430.00
Every update brings a bunch of issues
They recently pushed out a new tourney system. Don’t bother using it, you’ll literally be out matched by much higher ranked mechs. You’ll lose 6/8 matches every time. There is also a 2v2 feature that has a whole bunch of issues with matchmaking. I’ll buy things here and there but definitely have stopped since the new changes rolled out. It’s definitely not fun losing most matches after a couple of years of winning most.
