Gameplay

edit

The gameplay has been revamped and had major changes introduced. This includes the ability to now lift and throw your opponents, new attacks for each mech and more fast pace combat. The game no longer has a set story mode as the first game did. Instead, it now focuses on the player moving up the ranks in league matches and unlocking the garage through the leagues.

There are still different multiplayer modes and offline matches that allows players to fight, team up or fight different mechs with up to four players at one time. The gameplay mechanics and league mode seem to be inspired by the direct-to-mobile game, Real Steel and older established titles like Godzilla: Save the Earth.
