About This Game

GAMEPLAY

• Operate the giant robot: Direct movement via a top-down tactical interface.
  
• Target subsystems: Isolate and destroy specific enemy components. Immobilize, disarm, disable electronics.
  
• Exploit environments: Use terrain elevation for ballistic advantage and cover. Enter woods for concealment, or water for cooling.
  
• Level the battlefield: Breach destructible structures. Ignite wildfires. Deploy dirty explosives to create nuclear fallout fields.
  
• Be stealthy: Deploy smoke cover. Exploit strict line-of-sight simulation to flank hostiles undetected, or cover your retreat.
  
• Override systems: Hack enemy units to alter allegiance or confuse subsystems.
  
• Deploy: Launch homing missiles, scatter proximity mines, and deploy automated turrets.
  
• Extract: Evacuate fragile humans from active combat zones.
  
• Overclock: Slow subjective time to make smarter decisions.

ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION

• Ballistics and physics: Projectiles ricochet. Buildings shatter. Shooting from above deals more damage.
  
• Thermodynamics: Fire radiates heat and spreads through forests. Overheating triggers catastrophic explosions. Water dissipates heat more efficiently than air. Smoke grenades extinguish fire.
  
• Atmospherics: Wind spreads smoke cover.
  
• Stealth: The simulation tracks entity knowledge and line of sight. Concealment is calculated. Sneak past hostiles or strike undetected. Lure enemies into traps.
  
• Subsystems: Every entity is made of individually simulated parts. Ammo can explode while still inside your opponent's magazine. Robots can lose legs, weapons, or any other subsystem.

RUN STRATEGY

• Choose your path: Navigate a randomized node graph. Preview upcoming sectors to optimize route planning and anticipate threats.
  
• Manage loadouts: Equip, unequip, and configure weapons and subsystems between sectors.
  
• Research technology: Unlock persistent upgrades on the tech tree between runs, and activate a limited subset of these for each run. Get all stealthy one run, become a tank the next, or balance several approaches.
