1st of all, The game is FAR from perfect, but it's still one of the few games I play over more popular ones like Apex Legends or Warzone; though it's probably mostly coz I'm a weeb.

What makes the game stand out are the mechs, each having unique designs and playing differently from each other.

No, you do not create your own mech; each mech is already designed, and has their own pilot, though you can choose any mech as any pilot and it won't have any bonus outside of the pilot's passive skills, which just so happen to fit their respective mech.

You start with choosing 1 of 2 starting pilots with each having 2 different passive skills. The 1st skill is locked onto your pilot-of-choice as it only affects the pilot, while the 2nd one affects only the mech and can be swapped with whichever pilot's 2nd skill, so you can mix n match. The skills themselves give only small bonuses, but is sometimes the difference maker in some fights, but otherwise, nothing game-breaking.

along with choosing your 1st pilot, you're also given a couple of mechs, Arthur and Firefox, and unless I'm mistaken, Skylark. Play for 1 week, and you'll also get Hotsteel. Now, don't let the fact that they're given to you for free make you think they're weak. In fact, they're just as useful as any mech in the game; it's just how the game is balanced. Arthur is a close-ranged mech that specializes in dishing out strong damage up close and is one of the few mechs that has stun, while Firefox is a simple mech that can dish out ridiculous damage per second at close to mid-range, and Skylark is very balanced mobile mech that can even heal itself (and her allies depending on your luck and choices) via her damaging secondary skill. My personal favorite, Hotsteel, is your heavy-armored missile-lobbing frontliner, similar to Arthur, who TECHNICALLY can deal crazy damage at any range, but shines by being at the front. 4 completely different from each other so you can find your desired playstyle

Is this game Pay-2-win? NO. It's all fair game. Some may argue that players who've played enough have an edge due to the pilot skills being leveled up, but it's honestly not that big of an advantage in my opinion.

What makes the game easier to access for F2P players is also the training ground. It gives you access to a literal shooting range so you can test out pilot weapons and items, as well as being able to use every mech in the game to take for a test drive so you can decide if you wanna buy the mech or not and/or to see if the mech matches your style. There's a limit of 30 minutes to use the training grounds, but since you'll be seeing other players in the training ground too, it's probably just to kick out anyone who may have left the game on AFK so that it won't flood the server. before the 30 minutes are up, you're probably already done anyway. And if you need more time, you can always go back in again after your 30 minutes are up.

Now, what can you spend on this game? Well, if you're lazy, you can always "buy" exp for your pilots and mechs to unlock or improve skills, But people will mainly buy stuff for the cosmetics. The game also has a battlepass to grind for. Sure, there are skins that you can flat-out buy, but what's REALLY expensive here is the gacha. Yes, a gacha. What you get in them vary from emotes, to skins of guns, but it's here where you get the REALLY good-looking skins. prepare your wallet though; if you think buying a PS5 from a scalper is expensive, you haven't seen what gacha gamers can do.

Now I DID say this game isn't perfect. Like most, if not ALL Battle royale games, you get your fair share of cheaters. HOW often? Well, count me lucky as I've yet to encounter one, but I'm not the best example given what time I play.

Another gripe is that if there are no players to play with, you're paired with bots. play REALLY late, and don't be surprised to find yourself in a room fill with nothing BUT bots.

But if you're fortunate enough to not encounter a cheater, and is playing when there are more people are awake, loves mechs and battle royale, this is a game I'd recommend you'd try.
