Mecha BREAK, the exciting multiplayer mech game, recently wrapped up its open beta on Steam, concluding on March 16. The game saw an impressive peak of over 300,000 players during the beta and has since climbed to the 5th spot on Steam's most wishlisted games. Following this successful period, the developers at Chinese studio Amazing Seasun are now taking player feedback into serious consideration, particularly regarding the accessibility of mechs within the game.
One of the significant points of feedback has been the initial availability of mechs, known as Break Strikers, at the start of the game. Currently, players begin with access to only one Break Striker and must earn in-game currency through multiple multiplayer matches to unlock the rest of the 12 available mechs. This process can be quite time-consuming, leading to suggestions from the community about making all mechs available from the outset.
Amazing Seasun is actively considering making all Break Strikers free from the start. This change aims to enhance player engagement by allowing immediate access to all mechs, which could significantly impact the game's 3v3 and 6v6 competitive modes. However, the developers are cautious and have not yet committed to this change, emphasizing their belief in the live service model as crucial for the game's launch and future development.
