I’m glad the puzzles were not too difficult and I could simply enjoy the story, the characters, and the copious profanity. Nika herself is a highly likeable persona and I truly wanted her to succeed at her mischievous plan. MechaNika is only a couple of hours long, but at the low price point of £4.99, it is very much worth it. Even if you normally don’t enjoy puzzle games, you might as well enjoy this one. Get it!

MechaNika, although short, is one of the funniest puzzlers in recent memory. There’s next to no difficulty as far as its gameplay loop is concerned, but this game is much less about complexity and much more about the journey at hand. On that score alone, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any game of the like that remotely relays as much character and wit as MechaNika does.

MechaNika is a weird and wonderful experience that won't be for everyone. The story is bizarre and worthwhile, touching on some pretty serious points. You meet fascinating characters and will spend an enjoyable hour or so finding everything you need to complete the game. The point and click mechanic definitely feels like it needs some work to make it behave optimally for consoles, and you might be disappointed how soon you get to the end of the story, but it is one well worth experiencing nonetheless.

Si bien MechaNika no es un juego con altos valores de producción y ni mucho menos hablamos de un producto notable, se deja jugar y se disfruta bastante para el bajo precio que tiene. Además lamentablemente hay bastante ausencia de juegos de este tipo en consola y uno más no hace daño. Hay que añadir que los textos están en perfecto castellano.

MechaNika se postula como una aventura gráfica convencional “point'n click” que destaca principalmente por dos aspectos. El primero de ellos es la propia protagonista de la aventura y sus deseos de arrasar con la humanidad, lo que conducirá al jugador a crear un robot, el MechaNika, buscando las partes necesarias por todo el escenario. El segundo aspecto destacable es el sentido del humor, bastante adulto y adentrándose en todo tipo de temas y tópicos. Además, que el estudio sea español refleja un humor que nos llega y complace. Eso sí, los controles con mando no están bien implementados, siendo un poco desesperante tener que mover el puntero por todo el escenario. Una propuesta cortita (me ha durado menos de 3 horas tomándolo con calma) pero interesante para los amantes del género.

The game is really easy to play, a very unique storyline, art style and soundtrack all make the game entertaining in its own way, the only criticism I can level at it is the fact that there just isn’t enough of what is there, however for the price of £4.99 given the prices of a lot of games now if you just want something quick but entertaining to play through you can’t go too wrong.
