In the shadow of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate last December, a 3D mecha fighting game called Override: Mech City Brawl was released by The Balance Inc. and emerging publisher Modus Games to somewhat mixed reviews. Now, just over a month after launch, the game has received its first free weekend across all three platforms it’s available on.
This free weekend for Override: Mech City Brawl has already begun, and it will run through the rest of this weekend, ending sometime on Sunday, January 20. The developers really want you to pick up this game, so all progress made during this free weekend can be carried over into the full game if you decide to pick Override: Mech City Brawl up.
In fact, Modus Games has discounted the game by 35% across all platforms for this weekend, making this the cheapest Override: Mech City Brawl has ever been available for. A new mech called Maestro will also be playable over the course of this weekend as brief free preview before it goes on sale as DLC next week.
For those of you who don’t know much about Override: Mech City Brawl, it follows a group of twelve mech as they attempt to fend off an alien invasion. The game actually received a thirteenth robot, Stardust, as DLC back in mid-December and will also be getting the aforementioned Maestro as a fourteenth mech next week.
While the game hasn’t been talked about a lot since launch, hopefully this free weekend will give Override: Mech City Brawl the notoriety it needs to stay relevant. This free weekend also came alongside a brand new balance patch for the game that you can check out below:
