Despite participation being limited (users can request access via Steam or get a key through Twitch Drops), the beta has been doing impressive numbers, peaking at over 10k concurrent players and maintaining a solid average of around 4k players (<a href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/3016800\/charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SteamDB<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u304a\u3044\u304a\u3044\u304a\u3044\uff01<br><br>\u300cMecha BREAK\u300d\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067\u30ad\u30e3\u30e9\u30af\u30ea\u3067\u304d\u308b\u306a\u3093\u3066\u805e\u3044\u3066\u306a\u3044\u305e\uff01<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MechaBREAK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MechaBREAK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HsBtovlBka\">pic.twitter.com\/HsBtovlBka<\/a><\/p>&mdash; k1ku-s\u039bma@\u30ad\u30af\u30b5\u30de\ud83e\udd8b (@nico_harigane) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nico_harigane\/status\/1820465690547236913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> Wait, was no one going to tell me you could do this much in MechaBREAK&#8217;s character creator?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With player figures surpassing the open playtest of Sony\u2019s Concord and inching close to Marvel Rivals, Mecha BREAK has been full of surprises. Obviously, players are pleased with the breath of fresh air the title brings to the hero shooter genre with its high degree of mech customization and high-adrenaline aerial dogfights. However, apart from mech-related goodness, Mecha BREAK seems to have sealed the deal with its character customization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mech enthusiasts normally go into mech games hoping to create and pilot the mech of their dreams, but Mecha BREAK\u2019s playtesters were pleased to find out they would also be making some dreamy pilots.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frankly, the character customization is borderline ridiculous in how it lets you engineer even the clap of your pilot\u2019s butt cheeks with its plethora of buttock-related sliders. But to be fair, the game is equally detailed with everything else too, letting you edit everything from the individual reflections in your character\u2019s eyes to the width of their kneecaps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3081\u304b\u3076\u3001\u795e\u30b2\u30fc\u3067\u3059\u3002<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MechaBREAK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MechaBREAK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%AB%E3%83%96%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30e1\u30ab\u30d6\u30ec\u30a4\u30af<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iai35FESIu\">pic.twitter.com\/iai35FESIu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u306b\u3083\u3093\u305f\u307e\u03c9 (@NyanTamaHugu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NyanTamaHugu\/status\/1819831560604111125?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation<\/strong>: Mecha BREAK is god-tier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But most importantly, Mecha BREAK\u2019s character customizer makes it easy to make a beautiful character, and games that scratch peoples\u2019 itch to look at and project onto pretty people are always in demand. This seems to have contributed to the positive response to Mecha BREAK, if the amount of people having fun recreating Ayanami Rei and other characters in-game is anything to go by. The game\u2019s second phase of beta testing, which will be open to all PC users, will start from August 10, and it will be interesting to see how much the playerbase grows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mecha BREAK is also scheduled to be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S down the line.&nbsp;To find out more about the upcoming game\u2019s influences and development, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/interviews\/interview-upcoming-free-to-play-mech-game-mecha-break-not-pay-to-win-producer-promises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full interview with Mecha BREAK\u2019s producer<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/reviews\/20230111-25373\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">early hands-on preview<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazing Seasun Games&#8217; free-to-play mech shooter Mecha BREAK has attracted an impressive number of players with both its gameplay and visuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":35229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-35227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
