Could you recommend me good mecha games?

[MD Chaos]

Anything that Fromsoft(Armored Core, Metal Wolf Chaos, and Another Century's Episode) and Sandlot(Robot Alchemic Drive, Mecha MG, and to an extent EDF) has put out, but also Zone of the enders, Lost Planet, Daemon X Machina, The Assault Suits Series, Front Mission, Xenogears(Saga too) and Super Robot Wars Original Generations.

Mainly it's Mech Action Games that are my main thing, but there's some good SRPG and RPG ones like the few I mentioned, but also fighting game ones like Virtual on and Techromancer. There's definitely plenty of good or great ones that definitely stand out in their genres or outside, but there's also a lot more boring and generic ones that just have a Mech Coat of Paint(basically any indie mech game now).

Out of the bunch I feel like Lost Planet gets overlooked, when it's one of capcom's most underappreciated and experimental series. Lost Planet 1 and 2 I feel much like Dead Rising defined the best the 7th console generation have, and also EX Troopers is a really fun spin off. Lost Planet 3 gets shat on a lot, but I feel it's alright.

Metal Warriors I have played and that's a pretty good one I feel. Feels very genuine in what it wants to be unlike most other Mech games made in the west that are based off of ones from the east. I think Valken is better, but Metal Warriors is really good altogether.

Also in terms of licenses, Macross and Gundam have it pretty good when it comes to licensed games, esp the Artdink based ones.

Armored Core Last Raven is one of the greatest games I have ever played. Really hard tho.

Did they ever patch the bug that made allowed the game to generate impossible puzzles? I don't think I'm going to touch it until that's done away with.

I... didn't know about this bug, but honestly I don't think that breaks the game that much, the puzzles are optional and all that jazz.

If you want to support niche mech-alike franchise then Brigadors Killers will be coming out very soon.

I haven't played many but I have a strong love for Daemon X Machina I thought it was awesome. I also want to play Zone of Enders Duology but just don't really have time to play games at home, just on handheld.

If you loved Armored Core and Titanfall, you might enjoy Daemon X Machina for fast, stylish humanoid mechas, or Hawken if you want more tactical, clunky walker combat. Front Mission and Super Robot Wars series are great for turn-based strategy mecha action. For a more story-driven approach, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries has heavy, stompy ‘mechs with a solid single-player campaign. And if you like online battles, Gundam Evolution offers team-based, fast-paced mecha fights. Plenty of variety depending on whether you prefer speed, strategy, or brute force.

A few recent kinda recent ones:

Relayer is a really underrated Mecha SRPG and an epic VN Xenosaga-ish story, really tight gameplay that takes off after you get more units skills unlocked

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion is an awesome power suit dystopian open world jrpg. great world and gameplay, story is a lot better a bit hamhanded delivery but I liked it, and cool card game!

I really liked Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy, feels like a great Ps2 game with a healthy amount of content, I like the moderate tactical speed, managing the reload times and the intricacies of attack and dodging and how you can’t just pelt someone that’s in the getting up animation.

Custom Robot Wars actually pretty fun after like mission 14 (for me anyways) maybe it was because I got more comfortable with the creation system. the fun hinges a lot on what you make, it’s not a game you blow through with one mech just because you can. The stuff you can make is so cool and crazy, I can’t think of any mech game that comes even close.

I didn’t play the recent remaster (dont have a switch yet) but Xenoblade X is really awesome too :)
