Similar (easier) Mech Games?

[Munkee]

I was rather excited to play this, but after trying it at a friends place for a few hours, I must say it's just too difficult for me. the tutorial helicopter almost filtered me out, I struggled a LOT against he-who-shall-not-be-named and I just barely defeated the sea spider, mostly due to sheer dumb luck and stubborness. But instead victorious I just felt relieved to finally be done with it.

to get to the point.... can someone recommend a game similiar to AC6, but less brutally kicking me in the private parts for fun for hours at end?

metal wolf chaos (if u dont care much on mech customization and just want to shoot and stomp things)
daemon x machina (if dont mind anime story)
gundam breaker 3 (on sony playstation, dont play sequel from pc)
m.a.v. (not on steam, and still work in progress, but playable)
project nimbus or strike suit zero (if you want to fly as airplane)
zone of enders 2 (still can be hard though)

Mechwarrior 5?
It's mechs do not fly or run, they're more like tanks.

Similar? Armored Core 3-4 are the closest you'll find to this style.

There's MASS Builder which has great customization, but the gameplay is kind of atrocious.
Mechwarrior is... okay-ish? It's really clunky in places, and much slower paced.

Then there's Daemon x Machina, very anime-like, I always felt the combat is super floaty, nothing feels like it has any weight to it, and missions are super generic. Also characters talk way too much over the gameplay, they never shut up.

Unfortunately nothing else the mech genre is as polished as this game, mechs are always been a niche. Here's hoping AC6's massive success will show devs that mech games are a worthwile investment.

This. So easy it gets extremly boring, but it's really AC for children.

Metal Wolf Chaos is an influence of this game, the bosses kinda reminds me of this game.
Front Mission 1-> Scars of War, same mech customization but TBS.
Battletech and Mech Commander 1+2, again, cannot customize mech much but TBS and RTS.

Now we wait for this.

yeah, daemon x machina is your best bet from what you asked for, if you can stand the absolutely terrible writing, the soundtrack at least is as amazing as the dialogue is terrible lol. gameplay is good but easier than this, not as fun but better than anything else on steam.

I would encourage you to keep going though if you are not hard stuck, I kind of feel the same way about the early bosses, not all that satisfying to beat, but either they started to get more satisfying or I just became more accustomed to the gameplay or something happened because I got more and more into them the further I went, Ibis was SUPER satisfying to kill which is where I just passed now. I know there are even more cancer ones coming so we'll see how those go.

Cannot stress this enough. New Gundam Breaker is very very not good.
(It nearly won Kusoge of the Year 2018...)

Customization options reminded me of Chromehounds in a way how weird you can do it.

Kinda like Armored Core, but spooky and Lovecraftian.
