HARDCORE MECHA is a 2D side-scrolling action game set amid a sci-fi military conflict. You pilot a combat mech through a chapter-based campaign of missions, enemy encounters, and boss fights.
Fight with ranged weapons and melee attacks, dash and hover through battlefields, and use stage hazards and items to your advantage. Some sections let the pilot leave the mech to infiltrate or fight on foot, while changing environments bring different challenges.
Between missions, adjust mech equipment and develop its attributes. The game also has a wave-based Simulation mode where you earn points and unlock additional mechs, plus online and local split-screen PvP.
Players often praise the fast, responsive mech combat and the visual design of the mechs, animation, and cutscenes. Several also enjoy the varied stages and boss fights, as well as experimenting with equipment or different mechs in the Simulation mode. Opinions are mixed on controls and aiming, and some find the campaign short or its story familiar; multiplayer activity is also a concern in some reviews.
