Three hours. That’s all it took for me to see through this thinly-veiled cash grab wrapped in a half-baked mech suit. And before anyone says, “Oh you need more time to really get it…”—Just fu*king stop just stop now. I’ve been in IT for 30+ years and gaming since Zork I on a Tandy 1000. I’ve seen everything from text-based epics to modern AAA trash fires, and I can tell you within minutes whether a game is worth a damn. Steel Hunters? Currently? It’s a flaming pile of monetized mediocrity.

Let’s break this down:

1. Multiple F$#%%$#$ Currencies – Right Out of the Gate
If you see more than one kind of currency on the screen and they’re not for cosmetic hats or a harmless store, run. These devs are running the same tired psychological con job: flood the game with fake currencies to hide how much real money you’re blowing, all while manipulating the value behind smoke and mirrors. It’s dishonest, it’s predatory, and it’s the gaming equivalent of a carnival scam booth. If you defend this kind of model, congratulations—you’re the mark they’re looking for, as well as just generally destroying the overall quality of gaming in general over the last 20 years with your apologist appeaser crap. These companies would light you on fire for $3. Never forget that.

2. Pay-to-Win? More Like Pay-Immediately-to-Stomp-Casuals
You unlock skill trees tied to power progression. Cool idea, right? Except you get access to these upgrades through tiers, and tiers are unlocked via tokens. And what’s this? You can buy silver with real money, and use that to get tokens and skip levels. Translation: you can pay to bypass grind and get ahead instantly. Not sorta-pay-to-win. Not debatably-pay-to-win. Just blatantly pay-to-win. One hoop. One currency swap. One middle finger to any kind of competitive integrity.

3. Fully Monetized Battle Pass... But Half a Game
They’ve got a full-blown, multi-tiered battle pass already active. Real-world money, of course. Except here’s the catch—they don’t even have the full gameplay systems finished yet. Let that sink in. Instead of building a complete game, they prioritized their cash funnel. It’s like selling a car with no engine, but hey—it’s got chrome rims, so fork over $20.

For the “You Only Played Three Hours” Crowd
Let me stop you right there. I don’t need 30 hours to figure this out. I’m not new to this ♥♥♥♥. I’ve been dissecting games and systems longer than most of you have been alive. I’ve seen industry trends, corporate tactics, and every greasy monetization scheme roll out over decades. This game isn’t misunderstood. It’s not “early and promising.” It’s a calculated mess, engineered to milk your wallet before you even know what hit you. Miss me with that “give it a chance” nonsense.

Here’s the Harsh Truth
If they stripped out the pay-to-win, stopped trying to nickel and dime every interaction, and focused on building a fair, fun mech shooter? There’s potential. Hell, there’s even something cool buried under the greed. But that potential is rotting under the weight of bad decisions made by people who clearly don’t give a single ♥♥♥♥ about players—just profit margins.

Final Word: Avoid this game like the plague.
Maybe they fix it in a year. Maybe pigs fly. But right now? It’s a scam in shiny armor, and I hope it crashes and burns until they learn players aren’t ATMs. You want respect from the gaming community? Earn it. Until then, ♥♥♥♥ off with your currencies, your battle passes, and your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Love the mechs but everything else sort of falls apart. The primary issue is networking. Lack of servers and their poor performance kills the pvp and lack of content kills the pve.

I want to like it but even if the technical issues reported were ALL fixed the lack of support would remain.

es muy epico graficos apasionantes sobre todo si te gusta la estetica retroo minimalista de freefire , determino que podrian implementarse ciertas mejoras like , que tengas un dash mas efecivo , ademas siento que el combatte es muy me podria ser mejoor , esposible que se pueda agregar un modo just pvp con armass mele, el rendimieto es aprovechable deberia usar dlss pero esta god, para concluir puedo decir que lo recomiendo encarecida mente y cierro con estat celebre frase:

"el Doc bayter es el Doc house de nuestra generacion"
