How it feels

A tense, deeply strategic mech command game where you meticulously plan synchronized attacks and then watch them unfold with satisfying physics-based action.

What players say

Players love the core time-manipulation combat but split on its execution, calling the prediction system unreliable and the UI ambiguous. Many note repetitive missions and a slow, grindy overworld. The 2.0 update is widely praised for revitalizing the game, but bugs and a lack of story campaign remain common complaints.
