Launch a counteroffensive to take back the Earth from alien invaders in this mecha action RPG.
Players take control of giant robot "Rogues" to battle against alien invaders and reclaim the Earth. The core gameplay loop consists of a mix of 2D visual novel-style exploration and interactions with characters in a city environment, interspersed with fast-paced 3D mecha combat missions.
One of the standout aspects is the deep level of customization available for the Rogues. Players can extensively customize various parts, including weapons, armor, thrusters, and even the internal "motherboard" that governs the mecha's abilities and stats. This allows for a high degree of build variety and optimization to suit the player's preferred playstyle.
The combat itself is described as fast-paced and flashy, encouraging players to execute a variety of devastating special attacks and combos. The gameplay encourages strategic use of different weapon types and elemental effects to exploit enemy weaknesses. Successful navigation of the battlefield requires skilled dodging, boosting, and guarding.
While the main story missions follow a linear progression, players can also take on side missions and challenges with varying objectives, such as eliminating waves of enemies or defeating powerful boss encounters. The ability to replay missions on higher difficulty levels adds to the game's replayability.
The cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes allow for engaging team-based experiences. Up to three players can team up to tackle missions together, while the game's PvP "Colosseum" mode facilitates 3v3 battles against other players online.
Defeating enemies and completing missions rewards players with a wealth of loot, including new mecha parts, weapons, and upgrades. This encourages a collectible, grinding-focused gameplay loop as players aim to assemble the ultimate customized Rogue.
