Not convinced this is worth the price

Current reviews are saying the game lacks long-term appeal, without much content or variety. The premise here is cool, but I'm not convinced this is worth $20...

Welp, I am going to take the lack of any reply and mostly dead board as a sign that this game isn't worth buying. Shame.

The board is a bit dead, I agree with you there, but the game is actually pretty good. I played the demo, got the game and thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

There are a number of different mechs to repair, a stock market that you can invest in and play on to get more cash (the more shares you have in a company from the market, the bigger the bonus the company pays you when you repair their mechs) and once you have made a decent chunk of change you can even have your own mechs and send them out on missions of their own.

For $20 bucks or less depending on which store you get it from, this game is a steal.

P.S. You can even get into a mech and run through a calibration mission of which there are several types in first person view mode.

It's not ready for prime time, but I plan to hang on to it in hopes that the devs will fix it. Is it worth $20? Not yet. $10 seems fair. The electronics minigame is fun, once you figure it out. Until this is working as intended, Try Hardspace Shipbreaker for a chill technical game.

Forget it, fun for a couple of hours but a wasted opportunity of a great setting.
Wait for a summer/winter sale, not worth more than 5 bucks.

I love it but it definitely needs some patching. After I updated my Nvidia driver the game's been running even hotter and the frame rate goes haywire ever couple of minutes.

The game is only 3 months old though, doesn't it take time to build up a user base?

I'm playing the demo, and I can't put my finger on it, but the mouse control has issues. I've even dropped the sensitivity to half of the default.

It isn't. Wait a year and see if the dev has improved the game.

The Devs have likely abandoned the game. I got it when it came out an it has not been updated once since I last played. No news, nothing. They got our money and left for the next thing I feel.

Agreed this game was a snatch and grab. I have been looking for a way to report it or if there is any action we can take. I played it in beta and not a single real problem has ever been fixed in 6 months.

Nothing we can do. We got the game, the game was finished, it just didn't ever have any patches, updates, or love given to it afterwards. I hope we see a No Man's Sky and they're putting their nose to the grindstone. But... well. I don't expect it. Get enough to count the game as 'finished' then never update it. Shame too, this game could be great, especially if their level of updates and care got the attention of the Mech Warrior people.

The Dev(s) have a choice at this point, to scrap it and walk away, or scrap it, learn from their mistakes, and rebuild from the ground-up. I think that we all agree that Snarky the robot was their biggest mistake.

As a writer, I'd like to suggest events like clientele showing up and pressuring you to "get it done yesterday or else!" Perhaps police conducting forensic investigations of criminal activity - not just YOUR criminal activity, but of clients' victimhood or criminality. You'd actually get some interesting story lines emerging.
