Addiction Warning
Excellent TBS game. Will have you up until the wee hours of the morning telling yourself "I should really go to sleep...after one more level."

They did it again :)
You can see that a lot of thought went into the different terrain types, mechs, monsters, abilities, weapons, etc... It's a very elegant little title that will most likely keep you busy for many hours. A ton of replayability, a great atmosphere, the aesthetics known from FTL turned up a notch. If you like punching monsters in the face, solving complex (but very gratifying) tactical puzzles in turn-based combat, and learning as you win or lose, this is definitely the game for you.

10d chess
In short: The best version of chess I've played in a long time. Addictive, fun and surprisingly complex once it gets going In long: It's a turn-based rogue-lite. You control 3 mechs with various abilities (these are some form of damage, push and status effect) and have to execute your turn in such a way that the enemy deals minimum damage to your buildings (too much of that and you lose) while you kill as many of them as possible and try to somehow fulfill extra objectives also .You can see what your opponents will do on their turn (giant insects to fit the kaiju theme) and can plan accordingly. Sounds simple right? Especially since the whole things happens on an 8X8 grid. But turn can get very very complicated as you try to fulfill your objectives (that's how you get payed) while not dying or losing mechs. And here is where the chess comparison comes in. You have full information - all you need to do is use it to the max. It's a very simple and fun tactical challenge and the mech variants as well as the equipment that can be acquired adds enough complexity to keep me coming back again and again.

Fun little game
...but unfortunately most of the game mechanics (other than combat) have been cut.

Mechs vs Bugs: Awesome
Amazing game. Super fun, challenging, good OST and great pixel-art graphics. It's like Advanced Wars or X-com (Turn-based tactical), but with Starcraft's Terran and Zerg races. I also like that there is a mech that looks like Metal Gear REX, even the main weapon. MGS fans sure would notice it! Some of the special traits from the game that make it stand out: · Diverse mechanics that add complexity (based on terrain, or skills - like impact push movement, water, smoke, fire damage, etc) · Turn-limited fights. I like this, because it means I can enjoy multiple battles, in a short period of time. · Unlocking of additional squads/mechs, add more diversity to the playstyle and strategies available. · Decision making: Sometimes you can't save everyone, and whatever the result, the consequences remain, even after the current mission is over. I hope they make a sequel someday, with more game modes, and even more diversity and maps. Things I would love to see are: · Vek campaign added. This time, you can also choose to lead the bugs! · Quick-games or Skirmishes: Choose map, time/turn limit, choose race (play as Vek or Humans), number of players, and more!
