Code 51: Mecha Arena

Code 51: Mecha Arena is a wasteland mech arena game in which you pilot a giant mech from its cockpit and fight mechs driven by rival players. You play seated, wearing a VR device, without needing to stand or move around.

Story

In 2040, deteriorating conditions and the struggle for scarce living resources lead to World War III among the major forces. The war depletes almost all of the world’s regular energy sources and largely destroys human civilization. Survivors reunite to search for new energy, discovering the Document of Code51 and the mysterious energy substance it reveals.

Mechas are built using Code51. Warlords rise and factions form, but their union remains fragile. The factions clash over access to Code 51, setting the stage for another war on the battered earth.

Mechs and weapons

You can choose from 9 types of mecha. Each type has two skills and a skill. The game includes 10 types of weapons, as well as several different types of weapons.

The cockpit

The game uses an in-cockpit camera that shows the mech’s interior and your weapon. Its controls are designed around real-world vehicles and mapped to VR controllers. You can play seated without moving your body, and the game is described as allowing long play without becoming tired.
