  At the current price, there simply isn’t enough bang for the buck to recommend Custom Mech Wars to anyone but the most ardent giant robot lovers. It’s entertaining for a little while, but getting more out of it demands far more of one’s time than is justified.

  Custom Mech Wars is an underwhelming mech game that's plagued by issues like repetitive mission design, a boring story, and an underwhelming visual presentation. There's a glimmer of hope within its customization options and certain gameplay sections, but those aren't nearly enough to redeem this game.

  Custom Mech Wars é um jogo divertido se você gosta de criar e testar mechas e repetir esse ciclo várias vezes. É um título voltado para esse nicho de jogador e, além disso, ele carece de opções importantes como publicar seus mechas online ou uma variedade maior de cenários na campanha. Espero que a D3Publisher continue com a ideia, pois tem potencial de ser algo especial.

  Custom Mech Wars clearly shares some DNA with the EDF games but it fails to deliver on the promise. If you see it a lot cheaper, there's some fun in seeing what sort of mechs you can make but taking them into combat is such a flat, empty experience that in the end you'll wish they took the combat out and just made this a mech-designing sim.

  Custom Mech Wars is all about construction and experimentation. There’s a dense system for putting mechs together, and all of it feels friendly and approachable. You have a ton of options, a lot of freedom, and multiple ways to test things out. But that’s sort of where the good times dry up. The campaign is crazy boring otherwise, and the multiplayer options are equally threadbare. If you can get a good group together for playing online, you might find more fun than I did. But on your own, Custom Mech Wars has limited appeal. If you’ve got a lot of mechs in your heart begging to be built, you’re in for a good time. Otherwise I can’t really recommend this game.

  I really wanted to love Custom Mech Builder. Earth Defense Force and customizable giant robots is everything I should want. Alas, Custom Mech Builder doesn't have much going for it. If you like creating giant anime robots to smash enemies, there are better choices. If you like over-the-top explosion-fests, there are better options. Pretty much the only thing Custom Mech Builder has going for it is how easy it is to make a bullet train with drill arms, but that amusement quickly wears out its welcome. As a budget $20 title, Custom Mech Wars might be worth the cost for the amusing builder, but mech fans can find better games that cost less.

  Customize to your hearts content with the Omega Customization System and battle with one-of-a-kind combat units in this third-person shooter mecha game. You’ll be able to freely build and customize your mechs to include anything you want – multiple heads, legs, and arms in whatever positions and angles you choose. And based on what you use, the parameters will vary wildly, so you can build mechs with whatever abilities and fighting styles you wish. Not only that, you can arm your custom mechs to the teeth with every weapon imaginable and blast your way through oncoming enemies and experience the heart pounding mecha action that only your Omega Customized units can provide.
