Mecha BREAK, the multiplayer mech game, recently wrapped up its open beta test on Steam, concluding on March 16. The test phase was a massive success, drawing over 300,000 players and propelling the game to become the 5th most wishlisted title on the platform. Following this enthusiastic response, the developers at Amazing Seasun are now contemplating significant changes to the game's structure, particularly regarding the accessibility of its mechs, known as Break Strikers.
During the open beta, players started with access to just one Break Striker, requiring them to grind through numerous multiplayer matches to earn enough in-game currency to unlock the remaining 11 mechs. This process could be quite time-consuming, leading to feedback from the community about the need for a more accessible approach to mech availability.
In response, Amazing Seasun is considering making all starting mechs free from the outset. This potential change aims to enhance player engagement by allowing immediate access to a broader range of mechs. Additionally, the developers are exploring adjustments to the usage of mech modules in the 3v3 and 6v6 competitive modes. However, they remain cautious about finalizing these changes, emphasizing their belief in the importance of a live service model for the game's launch and long-term sustainability.
