Steel-on-steel rounds with friends
The shared part is straightforward: join up and fight mechas against mechas. Online PvP and local split-screen let you bring co-op friends into fast-paced battles, with one purchase covering four players locally. You pick a ride, boost across the arena, trade gunfire and melee, and prove which style holds up. American style, Japanese style, super style, realistic style — each of the dozens of mechas has its own tactical value.
42 mechas to argue about
Choice is half the fun before the round starts. The game offers 42 unlockable mechas with different designs, weapons, and combat tactics, from gun-and-shield types to transforming fliers and heavy artillery. You hop out of your mecha at key moments too, with the pilot fighting on foot when the situation calls for it. That variety keeps rematches fresh: someone switches to a brawler, someone else answers with missiles, and the lobby gets loud.
A campaign to warm up on
When the lobby is empty, the 8-chapter, 18-level campaign gives you and your co-op friends something to talk about. You fight through mineshafts, underwater bases, cities, and space against more than 50 enemy mecha types, with 40 minutes of animated cutscenes and full voice acting. Survival-style simulation battles add waves, bosses, gear chests, and upgrades between fights. It is a solid way to learn handling before your next versus night.
Good to know?
Can you play it with co-op friends locally?
Yes. Apart from online battles, the game supports local split-screen versus play, with 4-player local multiplayer on one purchase. It is built for passing controllers and running quick rematches.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is a single-player campaign across 8 chapters and 18 levels, plus simulation survival battles where you earn points, open gear chests, face bosses, and unlock more of the 42 mechas.
How many mechas can you use?
42 in total, unlocked by upgrading earlier mechas or reaching certain waves. Each has its own design and tactics, with primary weapons and mods to equip, though some special mechas take mods only.
Does the pilot ever leave the mecha?
Yes. Some levels let you exit the mecha and infiltrate behind enemy lines, and the pilot can eject and keep fighting on foot at critical moments.
