Mech Armada is here…well, half-here. Lioncode Games’ strategy title launches today as a beta on Steam Early Access, with further content updates planned in the months ahead as it reaches completion.
Imagine a tactics game that plays like card-based battling, but doesn’t use cards. Instead the characters you order around serve as the cards, you amass robots and lay them on the battlefield strategically. It’s actually a good thing you can always “draw” more robots from the “deck,” as this game’s got permadeath, when you lose a mech, it’s gone forever. There are some you won’t want to lose though…by mixing and matching parts, you can create stronger mechs that’ll serve as valuable tools to win each map.
- Deep strategic combat: There are no perfect solutions. Create your own strategy by cleverly making the most out of your resources and the situation.
- Design your own mech: With 70+ available Mech parts, you can create thousands of unique combinations. Each part has its own strengths and weaknesses, giving you an enormous range of possibilities.
- Turn-Based combat: You can move into position and attack with each of your mechs, in any order. Then it’s the Swarm’s turn…
- Procedurally generated: All the gameplay elements (monsters, maps, resources and rewards) are randomly combined and balanced ensuring no two battles are the same.
- Roguelike campaign: Death means game over. Try again with an entirely new run, with new random parts and encounters. You’ll have to make do with what you get!
- Auto-save: Never worry about saving again. Leave your game at any point and return exactly where you left off.
- Environment variety: From the outskirts of destroyed cities, to desert wastelands, the Swarm spreads and the battle for survival rages on.
- Epic bosses: They’re massive, ugly and ridiculously tough. Are you up to the task?
Mech Armada is available now on Steam Early Access for $14.99.
