The game takes place on an 8x8 grid-based map, where you must carefully position and utilize your mechs' unique abilities to protect civilian buildings and complete mission objectives. At the start of each turn, you can see the Vek's planned attacks, allowing you to strategize and formulate the best counter-moves.

❤ Solving Intricate, Chess-Like Puzzles

The core gameplay revolves around solving intricate, chess-like puzzles. This predictable enemy behavior creates a sense of tactical depth, as you must consider multiple steps ahead to prevent damage to your mechs and surrounding buildings. For example, you may need to sacrifice one mech to protect a civilian building or allow some damage to occur in order to achieve a greater objective.
