For those about to mech, you might be wondering what the best mech games are that you can jump into in the meantime.

Instead, these mechs all offer something a bit different, but all of them are centred around, or include, awesome mechs to jump into and use to take down enemies. Or deliver pizza. We\u2019ll get to that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/mechwarrior-5-mercenaries-pc\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=armoredcore6bestmechgames\">MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/qzFUcPoDFy4XqbEbLqtjLhF6StSHZDYgpmTX9SpgYpc3H-nvKCMcG9rXRINFiXZZ2WbMPchLLgnFMPE8AqfcsuwwNXRtg8qnhmO97HdPYPQnrleAVVtcFEM962ombE3dYU83eGdCROubng9bPxteT00\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is the most recent entry in the series, and it puts you in the shoes of a mech pilot fighting their way through different planets, all of which are filled with other mechs to shoot, buildings to walk through, and contracts to complete. It\u2019s just a straight-up mech FPS fantasy that has you customising your mechanical rides as you wish, and it can also be played in co-op. We love co-op, because we love having friends who are definitely real.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/590380\/Into_the_Breach\/\">Into the Breach&nbsp;<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/YwRU-eRK8ekGnqntRFiX1cGsev_pEw5DDi4vUTGmImN7GNQKbaiHKKQZk3Rd_cafLWXOqOa0IZoYt6NFsBqefbQEodEhw_Yb1qEpSc-d5fqAAd9lb0v8HumouWT0H5fmX4IzUf2zHjkenGIDW6gpN9Y\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From action to strategy, Into the Breach just so happens to be a truly incredible roguelike game that\u2019s also full of mechs. You have to guide your little group of mechs through multiple battles against alien invaders, but you get to see what they\u2019re about to do every turn. It\u2019s then down to your strategy and the abilities of your team to try and make them attack each other, keep them from damaging the few remaining towns, and keep your crew alive. Whether you fail or succeed, you then go onto the next timeline to repeat the process again, albeit with likely better gear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.uk\/Games\/Nintendo-Switch-games\/13-Sentinels-Aegis-Rim-2173867.html\">13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/WcwUqPXyA8RcfhLjYNdinLqKAEqsR5ND39W7hm4DnqrqgpkKJIGuAY_gFXMEpEbIZDx2BMLhxOirTPRLmpEDX4rjMem8AUGADEVzxshDa_e2VHTfPRCtiWvkqH0G3R0kZcWI6jXEd8rFZfH37OMtDNs\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is an exceptional adventure game that has you playing through an intense and heart-wrenching story set in an alternate version of our own timeline where giant monsters called Deimos invade Japan. You get to control each of the 13 protagonists and get to learn about them and their struggles. Then you also get to fight against giant monsters in mechs too.

Builder is the game for you. This Early Access game is still being worked on, but it\u2019s already one of the best mech games out there for the sheer volume of stuff you can tweak as you want. It lets you mess around with your weapons too. There\u2019s also combat, but it\u2019s not quite as gratifying. It\u2019s not bad by any means, but we\u2019re hoping it keeps getting improved as it moves through Early Access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1007040\/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_5\/\">Earth Defense Force 5<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/GavMN4vuPgRaFzkDSSU-pV6keXxmo5Czl5z0dzwjz1VZXnI-2KQYT9femi7Lgep_TgL6lzLBbha-EXT__1WazOH908OBXm8QrvRqtuG7_f2Yd4nFNDe3Bpf8mOBA1izmkJdWfKRqqYqFXVI4fj-aWrE\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Earth Defense Force 5 isn\u2019t exclusively a mech game, but it does have mechs, and that\u2019s all the excuse we need to talk about it. Among the four classes you can shoot oversized ants and frog people with, is the Air Raider. The Air Raider could be viewed as a support class, as it tends to attack via air strikes, orbital lasers, and even has healing items. It also gets access to the largest number of vehicles though, and one whole category of these are mechs with a mix of shotgun mortars, flamethrowers, missiles, and machine guns. There\u2019s also one that\u2019s so large that enemies can actually climb on it, and that one attacks exclusively with awesome punching attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/819480\/Pizza_Titan_Ultra\/\">Pizza Titan Ultra<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/LcUHJIWdVZLI3q2Qg-4BJ8kr9YKalAdACtbZdg4raHA-ASYiRxEgqsrrSvKevyFCJm6WNGYvFgNjsAh7bwUvRJRz06ZwKmWOn2IHvWjwad1-jRU43rYTyDmiaWJteXQivX-czXqq0LYPb9ACMZoAQSk\" alt=\"best mech games - pizza titan ultra\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What if instead of fighting giant monsters, you just used a mech to deliver pizza instead? Well, that\u2019s what you do in Pizza Titan Ultra, where your customizable mech has a pizzeria in the chest, and while you do get into the old scuffle with evil cyborgs, you also get to bring the good word of pizza to everyone you meet.
