Players Like...

❤ Controlling the Mech Suit

Players control a massive, 5-ton mech suit, using the suit's arms as the primary means of interaction and attack. Punching, grabbing, throwing, and slamming enemies feel weighty and impactful, thanks to the game's strong physics simulation. The combat mechanics reward both precision and brute force, allowing players to experiment with various combat styles.

❤ Intuitive Locomotion

Instead of traditional controller-based movement, the game utilizes an innovative "knuckle-walking" locomotion system. Players physically grab the ground with the mech's arms and pull themselves forward, creating an immersive sense of dragging the massive suit through the environments. This control scheme eliminates any potential for motion sickness, as the visual and physical inputs are perfectly synchronized.

❤ Customizable Loadouts

Between battles, players can extensively customize their mech suit, unlocking a variety of interchangeable parts and equipment. From different arm attachments like hammers, claws, and ranged weapons, to cockpit modules that grant special abilities, the customization options allow players to tailor their playstyle to their preferences. As players progress through the game's roguelike structure, they unlock more potential loadout combinations, leading to a high degree of replayability.

❤ Challenging Roguelike Progression

The game is designed as a demanding roguelike experience, with each run starting the player from the beginning after death. However, the randomized events, enemy encounters, and unlockable upgrades ensure that no two runs feel exactly the same. Players highlight the satisfying cycle of failure, progression, and eventual success as a key draw of the gameplay loop, as they strive to overcome increasingly difficult challenges.

❤ Environmental Destruction

The game's physics-based combat extends to the environment, allowing players to utilize traps, obstacles, and other hazards to their advantage. Slamming enemies into grinding machines, electrified floors, or massive pneumatic presses creates a sense of chaotic destruction that enhances the brutality of the combat.
