Heroes, come and create your own history!



Mecha
In the game, there are 3 types of mecha to be operated, and 8 types of main weapons with various styles. Each type of mecha has 3 auxiliary skills, which are most effective in specific battlefields. How to survive in the battlefield by smart combination of these options is a real challenge!



Weapons
The weapons that the mecha can carry have three categories: ballistic, guidance, and energy. The ammunition of ballistic and guided weapons is limited, and energy weapons can generate a lot of heat. It will require you to choose weapons wisely based on the battle situation. In addition to weapons, the mecha can also be equipped with various functional auxiliary equipments and weapon plug-ins to meet the needs of different battlefield tasks.
