Report an issue3D Real-time strategy with simple controls, units assembly, attractive graphics, upgrade system and challenging AI.
MechCom is a new fast-paced stable 3D action RTS that is optimised for mobile devices. It’s heavily influenced by the popular open-source RTS, Warzone 2100 and Dune. It takes place in the year 2100 when two corporations go at it deploying powerful mechs and heavy hardware from the mothership in a classic RTS environment in the hunt for resources. It uses fluid touch controls that are aimed for simplicity and ease of use. Classic old-school resource collection mechanics are favoured as well as simple clear graphics. There are a number of customised mechs you can build as well as various structures. There are also a handful of upgrades that you can utilise which can mean the difference between victory and defeat against a clever and challenging AI. Finally there are a large number of maps (zones) to choose from for Custom Games or you can go with a Ranked Game where the computer matches you to your skill level depending on your rank and how many promotion points you have earned to keep you challenged.
=== How To Play === Gameplay primarily consists of building individual units and structures on build pads. You build a refinery to harvest minerals and convert them to money. You then use the money to build a broad assortment of unit components, upgrades and an assortment of structures such as an Armory to unlock multiple component upgrades (also costing money) and a turret for example. Once you create your army, you can converge on the map to take control of Beacons where you can deploy more units. Capturing and keeping Beacons is vital in making your way across the map. Engage and eliminate all opponent units and structures to be declared the victor.
=== Game Features === • Basic Tutorial. • Challenging AI. • Simple 3D graphics. • 7 Ranks to progress though. • Simple large touch controls. • 12 maps set in 3 different landscapes. • NO ADS OR IN-APP PURCHASES EVER! • Old-school resources collection system. • 2 game modes (Ranked Game and Custom Game). • 16 unique combinations of mechs PLUS UPGRADES!
=== Game Tips === • Strongest is not always best. • Upgrades and key to victory. • Hover chassis can go over water and works great for scouts. • Speed is important. Build as fast and as efficiently as you can. • Capture and keep as many Beacons as you can for the advantage. • Collect as many minerals as you can before the enemy collects them all.
Good luck and have fun!

8 of 15Game is bottom line great for killing time
The sea of mobile games may be over-saturated with cash grabs and cheap knock-offs, but you end up finding similarities for almost any game you’d want to play thanks to that over-abundance. MechCom was initially my answer for StarCraft on mobile and will immediately appeal to fans of that game. You’ll immediately start with building refineries for your all-important resource mining, and this step is key. MechCom has a finite amount of resources for each map and they’re clearly identified in yellow when you start. It’s like chess, very easy to pick up and quite difficult to master. There are four different types of mount for your mechs and four different types of weapons, and an armory will upgrade key points multiple times for a cost. Initially, you’ll just be able to craft a handful of mechs and destroy opposition, but bigger maps give more available resources points. Focus on just a few and enjoy a never-ending swarm of enemy troops until you’re broke and wiped out! The key here is to develop resource mining, keep it protected with troops or turrets, and quickly expand to other points to continue that resource flow. Here’s a quick chart to get you started: Machine Gun - Fast to build, but weak. Cannon - Stronger, but still weak. Laser - Excellent for single troops or buildings. Rocket - Point and shoot, powerful and able to hit multiple targets. Wheels - Fast, but weak armor. Hover - Able to cross over water and bypass roads. Legs - Fast and sturdy. Treads - Tank-level plating but slow. This review should have you started on a path of development. The game will get increasingly difficult with time, it can get frustrating when you get swarmed by the enemy but later missions become a really enjoyable skirmish with a few hundred troops expended by battle’s end! It’s fair to note that your troop AI is a bit dense and you’ll get frustrated with them not doing what you’re telling them, and the double tap to select units can be spotty. The mechanics are a bit sloppy overall but the presentation and replay value is great, it’s one of the best dollars I’ve ever spent on here and I highly encourage you to give it a try!
Once you figure out how to play the game, it’s hard to stop.
Garbage bots are fkn overpowered bs system of play PASS TRUST ME YOULL THANK ME LATER
...it’s just boring.
Why are the bots hacking? I can only have like 7 bots while the enemies have like 14 bots? Its unfair. They are also flying over water. The enemy bots have an advantage over my bots. Only 7 bots VS like 43 bots. Please make the game fair. Other than that, it is a very fun and addicting game!
So glad i wasted a whole dollar on this big pile of garbage
