Players will run around arenas picking up guns and shooting waves of enemies that drop gold to buy items or crystals that can be used for permeant upgrades between runs. Completing each level in a run awards a power up — either more damage, more health, or a special ability, including things like a rocket jump that damages enemies around the player, turrets that help fend off enemies, or grenades that deal area damage. While a max of two guns and two abilities the player can have at any moment is nice, the most important tool is being able to transform into a ball that comes with a boost.

Enhance your mechs with a vast array of more than 50 upgrades, creating a truly personalized combat experience.

It does function as a dash, but it’s also the main way players can gain ammo for their guns. As enemies attack the player, ball-dashing into enemies to ‘deny’ the attack forces enemies to drop ammo. In later levels, the dash can also be used to clear stage hazards, strip armor from enemies, and push enemies off ledges. This boost has a limit, though, and managing it requires consistent strategy. The dash isn’t the only bit of strategy that needs to be used, though — each level also has aspects that must be utilized in order to eliminate every enemy. For example, many areas are vertical in scope, which means enemies can be above or below the player. Block-a-Pix Deluxe Switch NSP

Finding bounce pads to go up or dropping down onto enemies from above will be needed. Some levels also have boost pads that act like a free dash into enemies, causing damage or the denials that award ammo. While this might seem like it adds up to a solid action experience, don’t forget that Go Mecha Ball is a roguelike, and the progression here is strange. Before each run, players can use tokens in gacha machines, and these are what award abilities, weapons, and upgrades that are not given right away, but instead must be found during a run.

Experience the dual gameplay of walking and shooting as a mech, or rolling and bumping as a ball

This didn’t quite land for me, as there was never a solid sense of making progress — it just felt like I was adding random pickups to the levels. The object of each level is simple: defeat all enemies. Players will constantly transition between shooting and rolling modes, encouraging brisk play. Switching is instantaneous, and characters are extremely mobile. It feels exactly like piloting a sentient pinball; it’s smooth and responsive with excellent directional control, both on the ground and in the air. An aiming reticule allows for precise shooting with mouse and keyboard, and controllers benefit from a slight aim assist. Blizzard Arcade Collection Switch

This keeps the focus on constant movement and action, rather than fiddling with precise targeting. All is in service of forward momentum. In typical twin-stick fashion, you can spray foes with different types of firepower. But between a constrained amount of ammo and opponents who feel fortified, the shooting isn’t all that distinctive. Sure, turning the game’s adversaries into piles of scrap metal is rewarding, thanks to the responsive controls and a fluid framerate. And it feels like Mecha Ball dispenses a droplet of dopamine every time you turn an enemy into a lifeless pile of scrap.

But there are dozens of better twin-stick shooters out there. The real fun begins once you depress the left trigger. Here, our kitty protagonist offers her best Samus impersonation, rolling into an armored sphere that’s fast and nimble. This transition extends several possibilities. When it comes to navigation, your rolling feline can soar off the Tony Hawk-style quarter-pipes and ramps that dot each stage. After catching a bit of air, it’s possible to drop down on adversaries, delivering a healthy amount of damage and your exoskeleton comes crashing down. Alternatively, you can dash into them, occasionally bouncing them right off the playfield.

Another odd aspect to Go Mecha Ball’s roguelike status is that enemy variety is slim, so it’s easy to learn patterns. In an effort to combat this low variety, players will get an artifact that increases the difficulty of the next run, but this essentially meant it was still the same enemies, but this time they’d have extra armor or a healing aura to buff their buddies. Variety is one of the hallmarks of the roguelike genre, but this ain’t it. I would have much rather had more enemy types instead of the same goons bulked up. This limited number of foes made every run feel too similar. Blind Shot Switch NSP
