I had the chance to playtest Mecha BREAK on the Steam Deck this weekend, and overall, the game has improved significantly.
It feels much more polished and fun compared to previous betas, with better performance and new modes. However, there are still some issues, like long loading times, but once you're in, the gameplay is fantastic. The variety of mechas you can pilot adds depth to the experience, and I managed to get a solid 30 frames per second.
One frustrating thing is that I couldn't enter my code name on the Steam Deck, so I had to create my character on a PC first. After that, it played well on the Steam Deck, especially with the lowest graphic settings and FSR turned off. Turning on FSR actually made the game look worse, with blurry visuals and pixelation.
Despite a few loading spikes when transitioning between areas, the game is very playable, and I’m excited to see what new modes they’ll introduce when it officially releases. I've been enjoying different armor types, especially the medium and sniper setups.
Let us know if you're planning to add this game to your wishlist or wait for the next playtest!
