How it feels

A colorful, tactical turn-based strategy RPG where you navigate a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, customize mechs, and engage in conversations that shape the story.

What players say

Players praise the deep mech customization and procedural story generation, but the game is rough around the edges with no tutorial and awkward generated dialogue. The developer is responsive to bug reports. Combat is faster than earlier GearHead games, though some miss the older simulation feel.
