The verdict
A polished, weighty mech arena shooter with deep part-swapping builds, but dragged down by pay-to-win progression, bots and lopsided matchmaking. Skip it if you hate grindy F2P monetization.
Great for
Mech fans who enjoy tinkering with builds, have friends to squad up with, and tolerate a F2P grind
Main risk
After level 15 you face maxed-out paying players and bots, so progress feels pay-to-win
What players love
Flexible mech building and customization
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
“Once you have enough robot parts, you can build up to 5 custom robots to your liking, using chassis (legs), torso, shoulders, weapons and gears.”

Better and less pay-to-win than original War Robots
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
“Makes War Robots look like a joke. Actually fun to play and isn't a blatant pay-to-win shambles.”

Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
