“A hidden gem especially for a solo project Mecha Knights: Nightmare wears its inspiration on its sleeve (and even says it on the store page). It's a hybrid of Earth Defense Force and Armored Core with mecha anime and…”
“It's a fun game with surprisingly deep Mech customization. Controls are easy, the Mech feels powerful, upgrades are worth it, there is a campaign with voice-over and secondary objectices. Sure the story is a bit shallow…”
“Awesome mech game, one of the best I have played in a long time. Very well though out upgrade and weapon system. Also options to upgrade the troops and tanks that go into battle with you. Has a wave mode for unlimited…”

“Quite fun but also quite short. Played through campaign and DLC in less than 10 hours with a few raid maps just to see what it was like. Not terribly hard on normal with standard enemy spawns but can increase up to 50%…”

— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“A fun and chaotic third-person shooter that balances that feeling of being in a super powered mech, while still throwing enough enemies (just so, so many enemies) and situations at you that you can't just breeze through it all either. There are some moments of jankiness here and…”
