Your mech is your cursor
Most strategy games put you in the sky as a disembodied eye. AirMech makes the eye a machine you fly. Your AirMech is how you move, build and fight: it carries units from your base and drops them where the fight needs them, then transforms into mech mode to join the battle itself. One moment you are ferrying tanks to a push, the next you are on the ground trading fire. You are never just watching units fight without you; every match plays out through your own hands, and the whole thing moves fast enough that deciding where to be next is half the game.
Build the army you want
There are nine AirMech frames to choose from, each built around a different playstyle, plus skins for each one. Pick a favorite and learn it inside out, or collect the full stable so you can answer whatever the match throws at you. On top of that, dozens of units unlock as you play, from tanks to artillery to support vehicles, and what you bring changes how a match unfolds. You earn Kudos and Experience in battle, so every round moves you forward. There is also a tower defense streak in the mix: holding points and placing defenses matters as much as pushing out, and finding your own balance between the two is where the strategy lives.
Better with friends in the lobby
AirMech works solo, but it is built for playing together. Join a lobby with a friend, split the map between you, and figure out who ferries units and who holds the line. Co-op rounds are easy to jump into and quick to talk through: one call about where to drop a unit can save a base. If competition is more your speed, you can face other players or teams online instead, and the matches stay fast and hands-on either way. Sessions are short enough that "one more round" is a real option, and coordinating a comeback with someone on voice chat is the kind of thing you end up retelling later.
What should you know before playing?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. AirMech can be played solo, in co-op, or competitively online against other players or teams. Solo is a fine way to learn your AirMech, try unit combinations and earn Kudos and Experience at your own pace. The mechanics are the same in every mode, so time spent playing alone carries straight over to matches with or against other people.
How does progression work?
You earn Kudos and Experience by fighting, and those unlock gameplay content: more AirMechs, more units, and parts that make your frames more powerful as you advance. Almost everything that affects play is earned through playing, so a new account can grow into a serious arsenal over time. The store also sells cosmetic items, which do not change how strong your mech is in a match.
Is PvP fair for a new player?
It can be rough at first. The player base is small, so matchmaking often puts beginners up against long-time players who know every map and unit, and finding a match can take a while without a group to queue with. If that sounds discouraging, start in solo or co-op play, learn the maps and your frame there, and bring a friend when you head into PvP.
What controls does it support?
Both mouse and keyboard and a gamepad. The gamepad support is still a work in progress, but it plays well in matches already. Since your AirMech is controlled directly, flying, carrying units and fighting feel closer to an action game than a traditional RTS, so pick whichever setup your hands prefer.
