You methodically slot program cards into your mech's command line each turn, feeling the tension of limited moves and permadeath as you adapt to new planetary missions.

What players say
Players say this card-based programming game lets them control mechs by arranging command cards, which makes it feel like a puzzle more than a typical tactics title. The difficulty starts steep with no tutorial, so learning comes from trial and error, and different mechs offer fresh strategies. Reviews note the developer stays engaged and the game has room to grow in content.
