RH | 5,339 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I love games with a Mech battle mechanic. Xenogears if my favorite RPG, I love the Front Mission games and I loved Mech-Warrior on the PC. It's been a long time since I've had a new, mech-style experience. Right now, I'd prefer strategy game similar to Front Mission, but I'd settle for anything. Since I only own a Switch as a modern console, do I have any options? Bonus if it has a physical release. Thanks guys. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Get "Into the Breach" on PC, or "Battletech". Don't restrict yourself to consoles if you want a decent mech experience.

RH | 5,339 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'll check those out. FYI, I like the Switch because to me, 90% of the time, it's a handheld device. So, I'm willing to limit myself because I'm going to be playing it on the go.

RH | 5,339 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 @LastCat That looks amazing! I'll definitely check it out. That might fit the bill perfectly!

MuNKeY | 241 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You also might want to check out the Super Robot Wars they have on Switch if you want a tactical game(s), there are like 3 different ones now and also a SD Gundam one as well all are imports and do have English, however they tend to get pricey but every now and then you can catch them on sale. (only one I have played and own is T, but will eventually get the other ones) IF you want a run and gun there is Gigantic Army. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/#findComment-45822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I grabbed Super Robot Wars V and X, as well as SD Gundam Generations Cross Rays. I would highly recommend them! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/#findComment-45907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralSoul | 523 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Daemon X Machina, which got so-so reviews, there's a demo on the eShop to see if it's for you. Personally, I was very hesitant about the game but after the demo I ended up buying it and loving the game. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/#findComment-46532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartman | 197 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Does Armored Warriors count? It's a game in the Capcom Beat em up bundle.

Nintegageo | 583 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Would Astral Chain sorta count? The game is legit. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/#findComment-46934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I really didn't take any interest in that one from the footage. If there's a demo, I might check it out. I know it's been well received.

MiamiSlice | 3,195 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 War Tech Fighters is your typical mech battles in space kind of action game. Apparently it's OK. There's Gigantic Army which is a port of a classic 2D run-n-gunner type of game. Searching on Google I see a bunch more I never heard of. These are the only ones I've seen reviews for. Best reviews I have seen have been for that Gundam game.

MuNKeY | 241 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I forgot about War Tech Fighters, I have a physical coming in from Red Art Games whenever it releases. Digital only in the eshop, but there is also Project Nimbus I've not played this updated one but I had the OG one on Steam for quite some time Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2368-are-there-any-mech-based-games-for-the-switch/#findComment-47117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
