Hello MekaRiders! As announced earler in the January 2022 Dev Update, MekaFighters is getting some big changes in a small update to the game. We recommend you read the dev update linked to know why these changes are occurring, but onto the patch!

Features and Content:

All Characters and their base skins are now available for free, forever, for anyone.
Removed the Shop and Shop Features such as: Character Shop, Skin Shop, Redemption Shop, and Microtransactions from in the game. All skins can now be purchased on the Steam Store as DLC.
Added map previews for when you're selecting a map to play on.
Private Games are soon going to be replaced by Custom Games. Please read on later to learn more about Custom Games. For now, Private/Custom games have been disabled.
Meka Information (under Meka Select) now includes various character statistics such as health, power, damage, and more.
James and JK1, the Dawning Shadows and Gerard and AM3, the Widowmakers are now added to the login screen rotation.

Balance Changes

Sed and SAIRO, the Shadow Fighters
- Active: Shadow Seeker - Reduced the invisibility opacity from .1 to .08
Nika and TERA, the Earth Users
- Health Regen - Increased from 15 to 30.
- Health Regen Tick Amount - Decreased from 5s to 2.5s
- Active: Force of Earth - Now deals a minimum of 350 damage from 250.
- Dev Notes: Nika and TERA are supposed to embody being one with the earth and therefore should be receiving more attention from it. These are some small changes, that give a big impact to it and further show they are earth users.

General Changes

Playfab

Playfab has been removed as the backend in this update which is why a lot of these changes are occuring. Most of Playfab's code is phased out at this point and we're back to the barebones system I had in-place before attempting to make it a live-service game.

Coming Soon

Custom Games

Custom games are a new way to play MekaFighters, create a session with some customized options to make a better gameplay experience and best of all, create password-protected games and play in private sessions with your friends.
Server Browser

With Custom Games also comes in a server browser! Search for live-sessions and join them with a click of a button, games that require a password will present you with a prompt so you better know it!
Tutorial

While MekaFighters is a very simple game, I still feel the need to introduce something to let new players of the game know what they're getting into.

This is a small update with big changes that have been in the works for a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to work hard enough and get another character out soon, I can't wait to show what I'm doing. Cheers, Austin James

CURRENT FEATURES:

OUTPLAY YOUR OPPONENTS
With multiple Mekas (Characters) to play as, you have multiple opportunities to outsmart your opponents using Jet Propulsion or use each Mekas Unique Active ability.
RETRO STYLED GRAPHICS
Inspired by retro games, we use a bunch of flat colors and try to not have shadows and make every scene in the game popout.
TAKE ON OPPONENTS
In MekaFighters, we feature gamemodes where you can 1v1 somebody or team up with another player and face off against another 2 players! With even more gamemodes to come!
EVER-GROWING MEKA LIST(Updated whenever a new Meka is added!)
- Wendy and JICE, the Light Bringers, can shoot a devastating beam of light that passes through everything it hits and upon contact with an enemy deals some damage and if enemies don't exit the beam the damage is increased. Also, for each bullet they hit on an enemy, they deal additional damage.
- Sed and SAIRO, the Shadow Fighters, can enter stealth for some time and then upon exiting gain the ability to shoot a laser shadow that deals tremendous damage upon contact. Sed and SAIRO also gain an increased fire rate and whenever entering stealth, gain bonus movement speed.
- Nika and TERA, the Earth Users, can manifest a rock and throw it towards an enemy dealing damage based on distance traveled. Nika and TERA also passively have more damage, movement speed, and more resistances.
- Khaleed and ZHEN, the Red Barons increase their damage output for a short duration and whenever they are low on health gain additional resistances for a short time before it goes on cooldown.
- James and JK1, the Dawning Shadows increase their stats when their active ability, Dark Barrier is ongoing. Dark Barrier places a barrier in a small area that lasts for a few seconds, or whenever a certain amount of damage is dealt to them.
- Gerard and AM3, the Widowmakers tremendously decrease their active ability's cooldown at a cost of increasing the resources needed to use it as well as jump significantly higher and move faster. Their active ability is a projectile that deals damage based off of how much their target's max health is and Gerard and AM3's missing health.
