Mecha BREAK - PC performance graphics benchmarks of Graphics Cards and Processors
We have tested Mecha BREAK on maximum graphics settings with video cards of the GeForce RTX 20, 30, 40 and 50 series, as well as Radeon RX 6000, 7000 and 9000. Also, during the tests we conducted, we assessed the quality of the graphic display of the game itself.
| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| Supported OS and Graphics API |
Mecha BREAK is a multiplayer action game set in a futuristic setting where players control combat mechs in battles on the ground and in the air. The game is built on Windows 10 (64-bit) and uses DirectX 11/12. For a comfortable game, the developers recommend SSD, especially due to the large arenas and fast pace of battles. Despite the visual effects, the project is designed for a wide range of systems - from GTX 1650-level video cards to more powerful solutions.

| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Mecha Break is being developed by Chinese studio Amazing Seasun Games, a subsidiary of Kingsoft. The project was announced in late 2023, taking as its basis the ideas of Titan-like shooters like Armored Core and Titanfall, with an emphasis on aerial mobility and team dynamics. Already in the first closed tests in the summer of 2024, participants noted the well-balanced movement of mechs and a deep character creator for pilots. The game went through public beta in February 2025 and was fully released in July 2025 on PC and Xbox Series X|S as a free-to-play title, with a plan for regular seasonal updates.
The monetization model is chosen in the traditional F2P format - cosmetic decorations for mechs, skins, visual effects are purchased for real money, but they do not affect combat abilities. However, the expectations created were higher: some players considered the announcement of mechs and arenas of prigol cool, but soon criticized the limited customization and the "aggressiveness" of some cosmetic shares. Despite this, the game was launched on Game Pass and attracted around 130 concurrent users, but audience retention became a problem - the Steam rating dropped to mixed.
The team responded with promises to continue and improve the balance, expand the mech parks, add new modes in the PvP and PvPvE formats, including Extraction mode with survival elements and intermediate PvE battles. The life cycle assumes updates every 10-12 weeks. In short, Mecha Break is a dynamic startup shooter with ambitions, but the balance between quality and monetization remains a tense area.
| GRAPHICS |
Mecha Break runs on Unity, which uses a combination of futuristic sci-fi and dystopian stylistic language. The mechs have sharp silhouettes, massive forces when moving, and materials that reflect fresh paint or a metallic patina. The division into classes - Assault (heavy armor), Brawler (general purpose), Sniper (slim long-range), Defender (defensive systems), and Support - are reflected in the design of each mech.
Locations include urban multi-story arenas, destroyed platforms in the middle of a post-apocalyptic landscape, and resource collection zones. Movement mechanics include jumping, gliding, fast descent, use of verticality and aerodynamic mode - this is visible not only in the gameplay, but also in the design of the arenas: they are multi-level, with roofs, ceilings, hovering platforms. Special attention is paid to the customization of pilots - more than 130 parameters of appearance: face, hairstyle, eyes, anatomy, clothing. This is one of the most extensive character designers available in the genre. Cosmetics for mechs and pilots are focused on bright, memorable visual themes, but look ambitious, not intrusive.
The combat effects — plasma volleys, laser tracking, explosions, smoke, sparks — are richly executed to be understandable and dynamic. Explosions create visual gradients, flashes of light, armor foils. After a hit, smoke, sparks, and metal particles appear — this makes the combat experience rich and memorable, without being overly polished.
The color palette is restrained in the genre - gray metallic tones, acidic accents or cold backlighting - create the atmosphere of a sci-fi resource extraction zone. This is not a demonstration of technology, but a strong visual style, clear and expressive.
| GAME ENGINE |
Mecha Break is a team PvPvE shooter with high-altitude combat mechanics. The core is Unity with a large set of adaptations for mech mechanics: each mech has a set of active skills and signature moves — assault shots, energy shields, strike attacks, missiles. The class structure moves from a fixed set — Assault, Brawler, Sniper, Defender, Support — with a clear role-playing focus in the team.
Game modes include Ace Arena (3 vs 3), Operation VERGE (6 vs 6) — standard PvP formats, and Extraction Operation STORM — a hybrid PvPvE mode with resource collection objectives under time pressure and AI enemies. The goal of Extraction is to collect valuables, destroy boss guards, evacuate in time, avoiding attacks from player opponents. The network model is server authority, built-in anti-cheat. The server handles everything, including mech movement, shooting, impact interactions, projectiles and effects — players receive visuals and sound through the client.
The economy system is divided: the pilot (avatar in the menu/lobby) and the mech (in battle). Pilot and mech cosmetics are purchased separately, please in-game market - item exchange is allowed between players (without affecting the efficiency of the mech). This means monetization, but without pay-to-win equipment. There is no plot as a story campaign - only short introductions to seasons and modes. The main focus is on team combat with dynamics, variety of skills and strategies. Season Store reveals a new mech, skin or visual layer of the pilot's face every 10-12 weeks in a new season.
Game physics provide smooth turns, particle tracking of explosions, control of recoil and collisions - despite the scale of the mechs, the physics hold up without these degenerate arcade "flips". Parkour and planning tools make lobbies and fights lively: jumping on the roof, bouncing off the surface, horizontal dynamics of movement. Team mechanics - grouping classes together, where Sniper covers with tanks, Support heals and forces control of zones, Defender protects approaches. Extraction mode requires communication: everyone must get resources - gathering, protection, evacuation form a strategy. This is not a chaotic arcade - the synergy of classes is felt.
Thus, Mecha Break is a mature online shooter built on Unity, focused on commanding mechs and PvPvE interaction. The strengths are the expressive visuals of the mechs, the deepest customization of the pilot, the dynamics of air battles, clearly distributed roles. The main question is monetization and the success of long-term support.
| QUALITY |
At minimum settings Mecha BREAK is rendered with stripped-down visuals: mech armor looks matte and lacks almost all detail, and map textures are blurry, especially on distant objects. Shot and explosion animations are simplified: there are no highlights, smoke and dust are rendered as simple translucent clouds. Arenas look "empty" - fewer small objects and destruction. Reflections and dynamic lighting are disabled or replaced with static ones. Air battles at this level lose their spectacle: there are no engine trails, and the environment does not react to the player's movements.
At maximum settings everything is transformed: the surface of the mechs gets a metallic sheen, every detail of the body is visible and physically reacts to light. Shots create dynamic flashes, sparks and blast waves with distorted air effects. Reflections on armor and in puddles work in real time. During battles, dust and debris rise around, the light from lasers dissipates in the atmosphere. Arenas are saturated with details: the destruction of buildings occurs with physical feedback, the trajectories of hits affect the geometry of objects. The game becomes visually rich - right down to the reflection of the sun in the lenses of the mech and clouds illuminated from different angles.
