Finally!! is an awesome looking mecha game with spectacular tactics
Is it still laggy though? I heard it's pretty unoptimized, but it was some time ago.
YES!!! I was waiting you to playing this one again Wonder
Lol, most of the damages inflicted on you was from friendly fire
OMG Im so going to spend like 500 hours on this before playing anything else again.
Hello Wanderbots, does the game have any PVP or multiplayer at all?
I SERIOUSLY love this game… It's got a heavy Front Mission inspiration, which is just fantastic, our mechs are very adjacent to Wanzers and the damage system is very similar.
The tactical options it presents you are amazing. That being said, I agree, shields are so good, I can't go without 😛 Even my light sniper has a shield. It's just so good.
My favourite unit, though, is my super heavy who's got some seriously tweaked boosters – they can barely move normally, but have a dash of 40m – I use them to intercept incoming enemy blitzers who are trying to get into my backline and devour my lighter assets like the sniper and missile mech. I love shield bashing into enemies and then just magdumping them with a shotgun.
Sniper has a railrifle for maximum cheese, nothing like sniping through cover. I sure do enjoy the hell out of this game. Sure it's not perfect and there's some features I wish I had, but it is such a great, solid base. I sincerely hope it gets more support.
Oh, forgot the other element, I LOVE the music. I've always been a huge fan of dynamic music and the fact the game has it in both the overworld and in battle, just so good.
Wander, have you ever played the Return of the Obra Dinn? If you haven't, please please please play it! It's a mystery puzzle game with similar mechanics to Outer Wilds. It might be fun to play with Chelle as well.
How does this compare to battletech?
Wow, this game uses a really unique kind of tactics.
More mechs is always good in my book!
Don't know if you nticed but you kept firing missiles into buildings and cliffs because you were firing from too close to them
Ok, I didn't knew about this game and I really thank you for covering it. It will definatly find it's way into my library, looks extremly fun.
It is a cool game, I played for around 10 hrs now, it feels like some kind of a 3d version replica of the Power Dolls, but with better graphics and simplified pilots/weapons and battles
Definitely would like to see more of this
looks like Frozen Synapse, pretty cool
I really love this game
18:00 I heard it, could not piss up? hehehehe
It is not absolutely unique, frozen synapse did it to my knowledge first and second.
Nothing like speeding around the map in a mech that can get killed in a couple shots, except for when it is moving
The thing about Snipers and Machineguns is that they are not good for shooting on the move, their effectiveness and accuracy plummets when you do so.
You could make machineguns work with moving but Snipers are purely for staying still and shoot.
As machinegun attack duration takes quite a while, you can initiate an attack while moving and then stop while the shooting continues, your accuracy and damage will go back up.
Machineguns work best in long narrow chokepoints
I prefer to use the simple Assault Rifles, especially the Burst types for their Concussion damage, knock out the enemy pilot and you can salvage more.
They also have good mid range damage, fast to pull off attacks, perfect weapon for hit and run tactics.
15:36 its ukraine

That was a lot of not checking firelines after moving your units through the sightlines of your sniper and the lazer hitbox being confusing
What it did right : 5 sec chunks of rts
What it lacks : shoulder-mounted weapons/missile
