I do not know why we’ve not written about Mechabellum prior to now, however we’ve not. Let’s appropriate that. It is an autobattler during which you plonk down squads of stompy robots then watch them win or lose in opposition to your opponent’s military based mostly on the formations and upgrades you have chosen. After greater than a 12 months in Early Entry, it is simply launched model 1.0.
Visually Mechabellum’s robots are paying homage to Supreme Commander, however SupCom was set throughout large maps the place victory had at the very least as a lot to do with financial system administration as your fighters on the frontline. As an autobattler, Mechabellum frontloads your decision-making within the shopping for and positioning of models that can then combat with out your intervention in arenas which can be comparatively tiny.
Meaning the technique lies during which models you select, how they complement one another, the place you place them, and the way you improve them. Fights occur over a number of rounds, with probabilities to re-tool your setup in between. Throughout the battle’s themselves you are largely free to simply get pleasure from watching the explosions, though you’ll be able to name in airstrikes and make different restricted contributions to the circulate of a combat.
Mechabellum launched in Early Entry final Could and has been nicely acquired since. The 1.0 launch does not appear to make any main adjustments, however optimises the visuals and efficiency and introduces a multiplayer rank system.
I have never a lot curiosity in taking part in 1v1 in opposition to strangers on-line, as a result of I do not wish to must be taught a meta or learn guides for one of the best builds. I am not Matt Cox (RPS in peace). I do fancy watching robots shoot one another with rockets, although, and I’ve loved related technique autobattlers just like the tug-o-war of Warpips. I will give it a go in opposition to the AI in some unspecified time in the future.
Mechabellum is obtainable on Steam the place a 30% low cost means it is presently £8.95/$10.49/€10.35.
