A Spectacular Upcoming Mech Shooter Holds Its First Multiplayer Open Beta on Steam Very Soon

Who doesn’t love the idea of giant humanoid robots armed to the metal teeth doing battle with each other? Between last year’s walked away with a positive impression of how Mecha Break blends its high-powered mechs and hero shooter mechanics to create something unique among both mech games and multiplayer shooters.

There’s still quite a bit we don’t know about the full game, including its release date. Mecha Break promises a large roster of mechs to play with in the final release, all of which will be customizable, but that fact itself raises some additional questions. As a free-to-play title, monetization will eventually be a factor, and how it’s implemented could very well decide whether the game finds an audience.

Of course, none of that is a concern with the upcoming beta tests, which feature a limited selection of mechs completely free. If you want to get a feel for Mecha Break’s combat early on and without spending a dime, its open beta test is your best chance yet to do that.
