An outstanding product!! If you want to capture that Anime feel this is what you are looking for. Written by system experts that clearly love the genre, this is a quality book that deserves a print-on-demand so I can set it next to my official ones. I'm going to build an entire setting for my group using these rules!

Lets keep this review simple.

The Good - Well written, imaginative, fits Genesys just fine. A good mix of options without making things to complicated, dosent try to rewrite Genesys but to fit into the rules system rather seamlessly. There is a good selection of options and you should be able to make most Mecha that you could want, you cannot make everything but there is enough to keep you happy.

The Bad - I dont wish to include my above statement here, but for the sake of completeness I kinda have to. You cannot make everything. This is really just a statement not really meant as a bad thing, im sure there will be other additional books to this line that will expand your options but dont purchase this thinking it is a complete 100% guide to making every single Mecha your little nerd brain can think of.

The Ugly - I found the Mecha creation process quite confusing, roundabout, tedious/labourous and frankly a little annoying. Not enough clarifications, rules hidden in text and rather important points accidentally glossed over. I buy books llike this so I can be lazy and not have to come up with this stuff myself, as soon as I have to actually do work in order to make it work them I start questioning my purchase.

In short, great book. Fits the RPG well and provides some great idea. But be prepared to put in some work.

This review was made by a complete amatuer with zero writing ability but quite a few years of RPG'ing under his belt. YMMV.

Such an incredible product, picked this up on a whin after one of my players expressed interest in running a mecha camapaign.

Really captures the tone of the genre without getting too bogged down in the nitty gritty, super impressive that they could pull it off without sacrificing the feel or strengths of genesys as a system.

This supplement is just plain AWESOME! It makes setting up GENESYS for a mecha campaign super easy, and offers a good base to start homebrewing off of! I can't for what else is coming out in the future!

"Offering a ton of options along with additional rules from mecha minions to new pilot and crew incidentals/maneuvers/actions to a mecha critical hit table, all of which nevertheless plug easily into the existing structure of Genesys, Mechasys offers not just a detailed effort to bring mecha adventures to the table, but an accessible one." - Seamus Conneely

Great product, perfect for running any sort of mecha inspired game. Most attempts at mecha games either get bogged down in too much crunch or keep things extremely loose and narrative. This product finds the sweet spot between those two different approaches, enough depth to keep players engaged, but streamlined enough you can get it on the table quickly
