In this part of the video, Mojo Plays counts down their picks for the top 10 best Mech games. They mention notable titles such as “Lost Planet: Extreme Condition,” highlighting its unique gameplay involving surviving in a futuristic snow-covered world using both third-person shooter mechanics and mech combat. “MechAssault” is featured for its pioneering use of Xbox Live with innovative multiplayer modes like Deathmatch and Grinder mode on the original Xbox.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses several iconic mech games and their unique attributes. “MetalStorm” is highlighted as a collector’s item. “Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner,” directed by Hideo Kojima, improved upon its predecessor with faster combat and more abilities, although it didn’t sell well and the third game was canceled. It did, however, see two re-releases, including one for PlayStation VR. “Armored Core 2” is noted for its mission-permission structure and extensive mech customization, emphasizing balance and agility. “Xenoblade Chronicles 3” includes mechs as a significant part of gameplay, despite primarily being an action RPG. Lastly, “Front Mission 3” is praised for blending tactical strategy with RPG elements, building on the achievements of the previous games.

In this segment, the video discusses several notable Mech games. It highlights “Steel Battalion” as a hardcore Mech simulator that uses a large controller with numerous buttons and switches, emphasizing realistic details like using wipers and ejecting to avoid death and save deletion. The last game for “Steel Battalion” on Xbox Kinect was poorly received, and there’s a call for a VR version for a more immersive experience.
The video then moves to “Into the Breach,” an indie strategy game where humanity is attacked by monsters, requiring players to use strategy over brute force to complete objectives with three mechs over a set number of turns.
Lastly, the segment praises “Titanfall 2” not only as one of the best Mech games but also as a superior modern shooter. It improved upon its predecessor with better gunplay, movement, and a compelling story about the bond between a pilot and his Mech. Despite its quality, “Titanfall 2” remains a cult classic due to its unfortunate release timing between major titles like “Battlefield 1” and “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,” diminishing its chances for a third entry.
