Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The heart of the game is playable now: the fights, the squad, the carrier and the mega bosses. Early Access lets us tune the feel and the difficulty with real pilots before we lock them in, and grow the campaign with your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect about a year, and we will call it 1.0 when the Century Campaign plays well from the first year to the hundredth on both sides and player feedback says it is ready.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Century Campaign already runs the whole hundred years for both sides. During Early Access we plan to add online versus, online co-op, new weapons and a strategy PvP mode, and to tune the balance and the difficulty with player feedback. These are plans, and they can change.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access has three modes. The Century Campaign is the main one: a story campaign for the Star Alliance or the Trinity Empire, where you command one warship and fly as its ace pilot across the sector map, with a crew who live aboard and join through the story. The Pilot Campaign is the hundred-year war as a roguelite, one year per run, with permanent pilot death. VERSUS is 1v1 and 2v2 mech duels on one screen. Every mode has side-view real-time mech battles, solo or in up to 4-player local co-op, with AI wingmen you give orders to, carrier docking, capital ships, rival aces and mega bosses. Full controller support. A free demo is available on this page.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will rise at 1.0. Everyone who buys during Early Access gets every update through 1.0 at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We publish patch notes with every update and read every review and bug report. Balance, difficulty and new mega bosses are where your feedback shapes the game most.”

About This Game

The ace pilot of a warship, for a hundred years

You command one warship in a war between two powers, and you are also its best pilot. Between battles you walk the ship, talk with your crew in the galley, seat your best officers on the bridge and check on the wounded in the medbay. When the alarm sounds, you launch with your squad and fly your own mech.

The Century Campaign has 400 named characters, each with their own backstory, and over 9,000 lines of conversation with them. Some will follow you anywhere, some will fall in love with you, and some will not come back from the war.

Pick the Star Alliance or the Trinity Empire. Each side has its own cast and its own road through the war, so your second story is a different story and not the first one in new colours.

Three generations, one warship

The war lasts a hundred years, longer than any pilot can fly, so your ship passes down. Children grow up on its decks, learning to cook in the galley and to fly in the hangar. One day you hand command to the next generation, and you fly on as a pilot in their squad.

From that day your old commander can be shot down and lost like any other pilot. If they survive the war long enough, they retire, and the crew gives them a send-off.

99/100 mechs fully animated, and more to come

The roster runs from mass-produced grunts to custom aces. All 99 shoot and fight up close, and 51 of them also dash, boost and fire charged beams. Beat a mega boss and you salvage its Bravecore, the core inside the machine, and build it into your own mech. More mechs are on the way, in an ever-expanding universe.

Voiced in three languages

The cast speaks English, Japanese and Chinese, with more than 68,000 voice clips. Voice language is its own setting, so you can play with Japanese voices and English text.

These are plans, and they can change with player feedback.

The soundtrack

About 60 tracks, three and a half hours of music, and every lead melody is the developer’s own. They come from demos written and kept across more than 20 years of making music that hit the charts in Asia, arranged and produced for this game.

Help us build the rest of it

Nobody big is making this kind of mech game, so we are building it ourselves. Since the store page opened in July, we have drawn 100 mechs and then redrawn every one of them, animated 99 of them, and written a 400-character story campaign that runs across three generations. It's a story about a divided world and about people who still find beauty in the darkest places, with characters you get to know over decades. We voiced it in three languages too.

Add Bravemech: The Century War to your wishlist. Steam will tell you the day Early Access opens, and every wishlist decides how much more of this war we get to build.
