Override: Mech City Brawl Reviews
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.
Override: Mech City Brawl may look like the anime mech fighter you've been waiting for, but the gameplay just doesn't cut it.
A fun mech fighting game, with really enjoyable slower paced combat. Unfortunately Override Mech City Brawl is marred by framerate issues, and there's nobody online to play against
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.

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.
Override: Mech City Brawl is an indie mech arena brawler that gets a lot of things right. The single player is often a little on the easy side, but the great character designs and weighty combat help to make up for it, with local multiplayer proving to be a hell of a lot of fun. It's perfect for fans of giant mechs and kaiju brawling, and easily one of the best additions to the genre in a while.
If this game can find an audience, I could see it in fighting game tournaments, but for now the game is fairly dormant and that’s disappointing.
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.
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.
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.
New and light experience You can enjoy with your friends on weekends

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

We enjoyed Override: Mech City, it's not the best fighting game, but is a solid one. With not many flaws, it's determination to make a rendition to all the genre classics make difficult to see in the game something new or original.

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.
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.
Override: Mech City Brawl had a lot of promise and actually generated a bit of hype from me. Sadly the game sinks like a giant hunk of metal should instead of rocket boosts out like we'd hope in many departments (especially the melee combat). There is fun to be had here but depending on the player it can fizzle out fast and leave you wishing there was more to it. I really commend the team for the ideas presented here and the support they're giving it is great with 4 more characters being released in the future. The foundation has been set, I just hope they come back to this idea with more in store one day.
Override is a game that had so much potential and could have done something great with more ambition. In the end, no amount of oil could polish this scrap metal into something decent and enjoyable.
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.
Pros: Easy to learn hard to master mechanics, engaging combat, good content to price ratio, couch multiplayer is wildly entertainingCons: Campaign can feel repetitive and easy, online feels good but not enough players.
