A God-Tier Character Creator with a Restrictive Twist
Mecha Break, the stylish PvP mech shooter from Amazing Seasun Games, boasts one of the most detailed character creators in the genre. Players can fine-tune every feature of their pilot — from eye shape and lipstick color to finger length. This deep customization is a surprise in a game that mostly focuses on giant robot combat, but it’s one of its strongest features.
Enter the Matrix Marketplace, an in-game platform where players can buy and sell their pilot designs for Corite, Mecha Break’s premium currency. This marketplace should be a dream come true for those chasing specific looks, but a major limitation is leaving players frustrated.
You Can Buy Style—But You Can’t Change It
On paper, the Matrix Marketplace sounds ideal. If you see another player sporting a perfect hairstyle or makeup look, you can buy it. The problem? You can’t alter it. Player-created styles are sold as locked bundles, meaning once purchased, you must use the exact hairstyle, facial structure, and makeup without tweaks.
Want that cool aqua-streaked hair? Too bad — you’ll need to adopt the entire pilot design it comes with. Even worse, you can only modify the style if you already own every cosmetic used in it. So unless your ideal look is being sold exactly how you want it, you’re out of luck.
A Frustrating Step Back from the Beta
This restrictive system is especially disappointing given the freedom players enjoyed during Mecha Break’s beta period. Back then, cosmetics could be unlocked through gameplay using free Mission Tokens, and could be mixed and matched freely. Post-launch, the shift to Corite and locked bundles feels like a step back.
Players hoping to use real money to access specific cosmetics — like heart-shaped pupils or unique lipstick styles — now find themselves waiting for rotating items in a seasonal store or settling for a pilot design that doesn’t match their vision.

Great System, Poor Execution
The Matrix Marketplace is a clever idea. Selling custom creations gives the community a chance to shine and monetize their creativity. But by locking cosmetics to single-use bundles and limiting customizability, Mecha Break undermines its own best feature.
Unless Seasun introduces more freedom — such as allowing buyers to break apart purchased styles — the system will remain a source of both admiration and deep frustration.
