Reception

Mecho Wars received a score of 4 out of 5 from appvee.com.^[7] Gamerlimit.com gave Mecho Wars a 8.5 out of 10 ^[8] Appversity said "where UniWar brought a bland, but solid entry to the TBS genre, Mecho Wars counters with a flashy and vibrant style. With this style and the innovative time twist, I can safely say that upon the release of online multiplayer, Mecho Wars will be a must-have".^[9] Slide To Play gave Mecho Wars a 4 out of 4. ^[10]
