1- Gameplay Showcase (Note: The trial version currently only includes the local two-player versus mode, though it can be operated by a single player. The single-player stage mode will only be available after the official release. If you wish to try it out, you may treat the "Tutorial Simulation" as a simplified single-player mode for now. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.)

Select and deploy the war machines known as "Skulls" onto the Proving Grounds.

During the deployment phase, you will select the required Skull units from the Armory. Each Skull possesses distinct stats and a dedicated Function. Carefully consider your formation and initial positioning—an improper deployment often leads to an early disadvantage…

Move, Attack! Use their respective Functions to coordinate and outplay.

Turn-based combat. You control each Skull to perform actions: Move, Attack, and activate Functions. The decision of which actions to prioritize depends entirely on the evolving battlefield situation.

Skull Synergy – seize the moment and strike.

Different Skulls possess unique Functions and applications. Constantly evaluate synergy opportunities between units, and keep close track of Skull positioning and various tactical resources. Resource management is the core of sustaining control over the battlefield.

Most importantly, find the right window to eliminate the enemy.

Avoid blind fire. Calculate your potential damage output with precision. When an enemy Skull falls into a concentrated fire zone, finish it off immediately.

Finally, end the match.

Achieve the designated objective to conclude the test. For example, in the "Duel Simulation" mode, the objective is to destroy all enemy Skulls.
