How it feels

A brain-burning, slow-burn tactical chess match with giant mechs where every move must be planned several turns ahead.

What players say

Players compare it to Front Mission rather than Battletech, with combat built around weapon templates and hex facings rather than aiming. Several say the game is unfinished, servers have shut down, and there is no online player base. Customization is limited to ammo and armor placement on identical mechs.
