More about CUSTOM MECH WARS
Of the 562 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 49 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 4 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 10 of the 49 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 21 percent of the 226 reviews written there were positive, against 43 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.
