How it feels

You command squads of customizable battle robots in a hostile, labyrinthine sci-fi universe, balancing direct combat with remote tactical orders.

What players say

Players praise the unique hybrid of RTS and first-person mech combat, especially the limb-mutilation system where damaged parts disable a robot. The game is notoriously difficult, with aggressive AI and a steep learning curve. Many feel it was never fully finished and long for a remaster, as it has problems on Windows 11.
