About

You pilot a customizable mecha in a top-down shooter where battlefields shift as you capture enemy outposts. Progress unfolds on a branching 2D grid where each choice alters your path and upgrades. Team up with allies for brief co-op moments while swapping weapons and armor scavenged from fallen foes. The grid-based strategy adds layers to the action but keeps pacing brisk. The game requires completing the earlier Joshou-hen episode to access saved data, making it less accessible to newcomers. The grid system encourages replays to test different build combinations but lacks depth in enemy design. A niche pick for fans of tactical mech combat with streamlined mechanics.
