Override: Mech City Brawl may not quite nail the grand sense of scale, and I would certainly have loved to see some more organic monsters added to the roster, but it’s an entertaining little fighter to dip into. And, if you can drag a few friends into battle, it makes for one hell of a fun party game.

But who can blame people for not gravitating toward this when there is a larger, more expansive, and much smoother gameplay experience out there at a negligible price difference on the Switch in Daemon X Machina? Override Mech City Brawl asks a lot out of potential customers for a much more flawed game. Even if it were a budget title, the framerate valleys, constricting scale, limited customization options, and a completely dead online presence would make it tough to recommend. In its current state, you'd do best to walk past the smoldering pile.

Despite these flaws, Override: City Mech Brawl is a funny and lighthearted brawler title for everyone, and it's another multiplayer option during a time when consoles seem to be shying away from local cooperative play. It's a title that doesn't take itself too seriously, and it does a solid job of bringing lighthearted giant robot fun to consoles.

Gameplay-wise, Override a very entertaining game; especially when it comes to local multiplayer matches. But unfortunately and because of some issues like the lack of content, it cannot convince players to keep playing for a long time

Override: Mech City Brawl is a good choice for those who enjoy light and fun online games with many robotic fights. Battle of Robots is some fun but Override: Mech City Brawl has very little to offer when it comes to story and has a number of issues with depth of gameplay and physics. Also graphic design is not satisfying and the level of details is low.

Override: Mech City Brawl has a few good inspirations and does well on some points, but there are a lot of problems that prevent it from becoming a better game.

Override: Mech City Brawl presents a fun premise yet unfortunately; it doesn't offer any sort of substantial long-lasting gameplay.

Graphically, the game has nothing to say, Except for the charming colors. The environments don't look attractive at all because of this poor graphics, which makes it difficult to drown in the world of overdrive. In terms of audio, the game is mediocre and nothing high-end. Overall, it can be said that Override: Mech City Brawl has some issues that overshadow its quality and it's hard to recommend this game to anyone. If you like robots, this game might be a good option with at least a Good discount.

Override: Mech City Brawl has a great premise but is a bit bare bones. The multiplayer modes are a good start, but there needs to be more in order to draw players in. The cities are a bit lifeless (which makes it easier to destroy, I guess). Hope some more content will breathe life into this Mech game.

Overall I did enjoy Override, but I think it has a place it excels and it falls a little short outside that place. The game looks good, the combat is fun and the mechs feel like they have weight to them. It's a great game to kick back, order some food and drinks and play with friends.

There's the nucleus of a great mech punch 'em up here, but Override: Mech City Brawl needs some more time in R&D before it can get there.

Overall, Override: Mech City Brawl gives you a good amount of content to have fun with, providing a lot of variety in the gameplay, so you can switch in and out with different bots to prevent it becoming a grind.

Single player, Multiplayer, or co-op, Override: Mech City Brawl is such a fun game to play whatever your preference. I’d say the game feels like the combat came first, then the multiplayer, and finally the single player – that’s not a bad thing, but the single player does wear thin after you’ve completed it a few times. The co-operative mode, in which up to four players control each limb, is rather amusing and can lead to some stressful moments as you must all work together or fail as a whole! I found it hard to jump into an online match, but locally and online with friends was a great experience and tonnes of fun – highly recommend if you’re looking for some local brawling action.

Override: Mech City Brawl is a game that unfortunately does not live up to what was promised in the trailers. A shallow game that will struggle to keep your interest once you have completed the disappointing storyline.

The beauty of Override is in its simplicity, the developers have set out to make a game set around giant robots defending the earth from giant monsters. Yes the premise is totally ripped from a rather well-known movie but it works for what this game does, this is simply a 3D Mech fighting game with a monster invasion story. The fact is its simple to pick up and easy enough to learn but if you ad your friends wanna throw down in up to 4 player battle there are some skills to be learnt to get the advantage over your rivals. Override achieves what you would expect from a game of this type and does so in a well polished manner. This wont ever be one of those titles that has world-famous fighting tournaments, but for a coop bout against friends or online its worth it for a good laugh.

If you’re looking for a more self-contained experience, you might find yourself disappointed, although there’s still a lot of fun to be had in the simplistic story mode and local multiplayer, especially if you get a whole bunch of friends round to brawl.

Override: Mech City Brawl is funnier with friends. Use Mech's, destroy your enemy, and destroy city's

That’s not to insinuate that Override: Mech City Brawl is perfect or anything, as the general combat is kind of floaty while the unwieldy camera makes responding quickly to your opponent more difficult than it probably should be, but that’s ultimately forgivable given its clear party-game aspirations. Put simply, this isn’t a game that’s trying to be an immaculately balanced fighting game experience for die-hards so much as it’s the kind of game that you end up playing after getting drunk with friends, only stopping once someone passes out or gets frustrated and throws a controller across the room.
