Yes, it’s 2025, but it’s not too late to start playing Warframe. I know it’s intimidating. Starting any new online multiplayer game, much less one with 12 years of content to catch up on, is a daunting prospect.

Video games about mechas just feel right. From flying to shooting giant laser guns, mechas are fun — and it’s the fun behind these giant robots that defines Mecha Break, a PvPvE game that puts you in control of one of these machines. But while Mecha Break presents an easy on-ramp into the mecha genre, that on-ramp comes at the expense of watering down the complexity for which the genre...

When preparing your mecha to fight in Mecha Break’s extraction mode, equipping mods is a top priority.

Customizing your mecha by changing its looks is part of the fun in Mecha Break. Simply altering the colors can make your favorite Striker look more fierce.
