"I’m in a bit of a tricky spot reaching a verdict on Custom Mech Wars. I like the concept, I like the tone, and the customization is a lot of fun. All of that is attached to a dull gameplay loop though. Truly dull, just thinking about it I’m getting tired. Am I going to continue playing Custom Mech Wars once this review is done? No, at least not alone. Maybe with some friends I could see myself diving back in. I’d certainly be interested in future games with the ‘Omega Customization’ idea attached. Should you buy Custom Mech Wars? Possibly, at some point. I think that this could fill the role of a light time-waster, if you go in with appropriate expectations. If you’re really into customization and creative tools in games, then it might be worth a look just for that. If you’re a fan of EDF, then there is some potential for enjoyment here. It’s better than EDF: Iron Rain, if that counts for anything."

About
Custom Mech Wars: EDF Collab Edition adds 10 new missions and specialized mechs from the Earth Defense Force series. Players build and customize robots using new parts like the Barga, Balam, and Nix suits, plus the Combat Wagon and EMC. Each mission challenges you to adapt your loadout against varied enemies in fast paced combat. The game retains the core mechanics of piloting, shooting, and surviving waves of threats while giving you more tools to tweak your approach. The collaboration focuses on expanding customization options with themed gear. EDF fans get access to iconic parts and accessories including the series’ signature emblems. The added missions introduce scenarios that mix the two franchises’ settings without feeling forced. With a December 14 release on PC and PlayStation 5, the collab edition offers extra value for players already invested in the mech genre. The content feels like a natural extension rather than a cash grab, letting you test new builds in fresh scenarios.
