Battles indeed feel epic when they’re bigger in scale. There’s nothing like controlling a gigantic mech robot and raining hellfire on your enemies. Well, you can experience that feeling through the medium of video games. We all have our favorite sci-fi fantasies, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be realized. As wise men say, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Mech games have been a popular thing in the gaming world ever since the PS1 days. These games deliver on the promise of sending nuclear-powered gifts to your enemies. If you want your opponents to suffer, these games let you do just that and much more. From Armored Core to Titanfall 2, here are the five best mech games that let you live out your power fantasy of piloting a giant mech.
1) Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is the latest entry in the long-running Armored Core franchise by FromSoftware. The game has customizable mechs and weapons that suit a wide variety of playstyles. The title also features omnidirectional battles and dynamic movement with massive arenas for battles.
The mech customization lets you approach every battle with a unique mech strategy. The Souls franchise developer has used every bit of their expertise in crafting large-scale action games to develop this title. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles.
2) MechWarrior 5: Clans
Piranha Games developed and published MechWarrior 5: Clans, a vehicle simulation video game. The same developer made the game and its predecessor (MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries), and they are available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, console, and cloud devices. The narrative follows Smoke Jaguar pilots in the clan’s invasion of the location known as the Inner Sphere.
The title also features customizable mechs and a brand-new pilot progression system. MechWarrior 5: Clans is fully developed in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine and other next-gen tech. The game is also available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nvidia GeForce Now platforms.
3) Neon Genesis Evangelion 2
Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 is a PlayStation-exclusive mech action RPG game published by Bandai based on the titular sci-fi anime.

The plot is loosely based on the original anime’s plot, featuring beloved characters such as Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Pen Pen.
The narrative is slightly different from the anime and is not yet confirmed to be canon. The developers mentioned that they wanted to create their very own world of Evangelion.
