ok so update on Iron Rebellion after playing it for about an hour:

It's basically a tech demo right now and definitely not worth the $15 price. All you can do is 1v1 matches and a single social lobby for practice, there is no tutorial, and only a single mech and weapon. Devs say that 4v4 is their first priority now after launch and it should be coming "soon." 

That being said the FEEL of the game is incredible, really good aesthetic and art direction, good sound design too, and the feeling of pressing all the buttons in the mech is very very satisfying, even if they dont do anything right now. 

All in all a solid base but that is literally all it is, a base. I say wait until they add 4v4 and private matches and then it will be worth it, I'll keep you guys updated because I hate vox and want this game to replace it.
