About the Game

  • Your Mech Is Your Deck - Swap Mech parts to change the cards in your starting deck and unlock new strategies

  • Never Run Out Of Cards - Avoid wasted turns by always having 7 cards to play from

  • Card Position Matters - Activate powerful buffs when positioning them next to ‘support’ cards or slots in the conveyor belt

  • Discover Mech & Pilot Synergies - Unlock 3 mechs and 5 pilots, each with their own unique skills and combat styles

  • Fight Freely With No Fixed Paths – Decide when to push forward or backtrack to safety across 3 ever-changing maps

  • Multiple Ways To Play - Campaign, Daily Challenges, Custom battles or fight to sit atop the leaderboard in Swarm Mode!

Earth reels under an unrelenting Kaiju assault. In response, TITANCORE forges the 'MECHBORN' - elite pilots strong enough to endure the brutal toll of 'Mech-Synchronization'.

MECHBORN features 3 Mechs, each having 3 unique armour sets to unlock across 4 slots: Head, Chest, Arms & Legs.

Every part you equip adds new cards to your starting deck, so how you build your mech directly shapes how you play:

  • Equip a matching set to unlock distinct playstyles with powerful starting combos

  • Mix and match parts across sets to craft custom decks that suits your playstyle

  • Every run is different - swap parts between runs, with endless synergies to discover

MECHBORN replaces the traditional hand of cards with the Conveyor Belt: a flowing queue of 7 cards to fuel countless possibilities:

  • A new card slides in every time one is played, so you never run out of options

  • Always plan ahead - with 7 cards always available, your next move is never a mystery

  • Use pilot skills to reposition cards - setting up devastating combos before you need them

On the Conveyor Belt, where a card sits is just as important as what it does:

  • Attack and Defence cards form the backbone of your combat - but their output can change depending on which slot they're played from

  • Support cards are entirely ‘position dependent’ - some thrive on constant movement, others demand stillness, and some hit their peak when placed next to Attack or Defence cards

  • Pilot skills let you reposition cards mid-combat - set up the conveyor belt with precision to unleash devastating combos

Explore an ever-changing map across 3 continents – Where you go, when you upgrade and how deep you explore is up to you.

  • Push deeper or backtrack – carefully decide how you balance fuel, health and credits or suffer the consequences

  • Buy, remove & upgrade cards – Discover shops and vendors, then revisit when you need to

  • Factions scattered across the map may offer aid — or look to stand in your way

  • Abandoned labs hide powerful Infusers that can transform your Mech's capabilities

Every run brings a different map, different encounters and different decisions for you to make.

Each pilot has 4 unique combat skills, powered up with each card you play - the more you play, the more powerful your pilot becomes.

Reposition, transform and copy cards mid-fight to reshape the conveyor belt in your favour, or unleash devastating attacks at the perfect moment to turn the tide of battle!
