Reception

Jim Swallow reviewed Mecha Carnage for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall, and stated that "There are some nice ideas and spins that only a long-time gamer might think of in the text, and while a few glitches and omissions do show up here and there - the rules for mecha transformations into submarine varieties, for instance - by and large Mecha Carnage does its job neatly and with a minimum of fuss."
