Mecha BREAK, the exciting multiplayer mech game, recently wrapped up its open beta phase on Steam on March 16. With an impressive peak of over 300,000 players and currently ranking as the 5th most wishlisted game on Steam, the feedback from the community has been instrumental. The developers at Chinese studio Amazing Seasun are now contemplating significant changes, including the possibility of making all starting mechs, known as Break Strikers, available to players from the get-go.
During the open beta, players had access to only one Break Striker at the start, with the option to unlock the remaining 11 by grinding through multiplayer matches to earn in-game currency. This process could be quite time-consuming, potentially deterring some players from experiencing the full range of mechs the game has to offer.
Amazing Seasun is carefully considering the feedback regarding the availability of Break Strikers and the utilization of mech modules in both 3v3 and 6v6 competitive modes. While no final decisions have been made, the developers are leaning towards maintaining a live service model at launch, which they believe is crucial for the game's long-term success.
The potential change to unlock all starting mechs could significantly enhance the player experience by allowing immediate access to a diverse range of mechs, thereby encouraging more experimentation and engagement right from the start. This move could address the concerns raised by the community during the open beta, potentially setting Mecha BREAK up for an even more successful launch.
