I come bearing questions.
What Mecha games are you familiar with and would recommend?
So to get the obvious out of the way:
Armored Core 6, the one most people (including myself) started with and probably the easiest to get into.
Gundam Breaker 4, personally the story is a miss for me but the gameplay and the building aspect is really fun
Titanfall 2, peak FPS probably heard of it before.
Now onto the stuff I love (I still love all 3 of these above but these ones below are so niche they deserve the extra love) :
Gearbits, it's so cheap and simple but God damn is it fun, if you have a pc that connects to a socket or a laptop that uses a battery you should definitely get it, steam exclusive unfortunately.
SD Gundam Battle Alliance, my jam before I got into GB4, it is a bit grindy but it's story is enjoyable enough and the gameplay is fire, definitely get it even if you're not sold on the SD ascetic (also first PC game to feature the Xi Gundam I'm pretty sure, tho it is dlc locked)
Into the Breach, the best turn based mecha roguelike ever made, definite classic that is both challenging and fair.
Phantom Brigade, the best turn based mecha Xcom like, although not featuring a grid system it's mechanics are fun, I haven't beaten it yet but it's probably my top 3 game (poly graphics indie games save me)
Airmech, my favorite RTS ever ever made. You get to play as a transforming robot that either sends out troops all around the map in plane mode or joins the action directly in robot mode. Absolutely love it.
Lightyear Frontier, a farming sim but you get to pilot a mecha, it is a brilliant chill game and I absolutely love it, I only played the demo but I'm getting it sometime soon.
Now onto the game I haven't played but is really good from what I've heard:
Battletech, a slow strategic Xcom like that I've wanted to get into for a while, still on the list, tons of dlc and pretty expensive.
That's all I got, there's a ton more tho, oh and:
Mecha break, a coming soon fast action PvP mecha fighter, fully customizable machines with absolutely ridiculous speeds from the looks of things.
