About MechaLevel

We are a passionate team of Australian gamers, journalists, and esports enthusiasts dedicated to delivering honest, expert content.

The MechaLevel Team

Who We Are

Founded in Sydney in 2020, MechaLevel began as a small blog run by a group of friends who were frustrated with the lack of honest, locally-focused gaming coverage in Australia. What started as a passion project quickly grew into one of the country's most-read gaming platforms.

Today, our team of 12 writers, reviewers, and tournament analysts covers everything from indie gems to AAA blockbusters, as well as the full spectrum of Australia's thriving esports scene.

Unbiased Reviews

We purchase all games independently and accept no payment for reviews, ensuring our scores reflect genuine editorial opinion.

Local Esports Focus

We attend and cover Australian tournaments in person, providing on-the-ground reporting unavailable anywhere else.

🌍
Australian Perspective
