The development of the brand new game mode we have been developing nights and days has came to an end!

Please look forward to more information!

This update includes:

In singleplayer mode, boost recovery speed has been increased when player character is stunned.
In singleplayer mode, the control of player character has been optimized for more flexibility.
In singleplayer mode, fly ability of player character has been slightly increased.

In multiplayer mode, new DLC mecha “Thunderbolt OTOME” has been added.

Created by simulation battle developers in private, according to their preferences. Although it has exactly the same performance as the original Thunderbolt, it unexpectedly increased the pilot’s moral.

In multiplayer mode, new DLC painting pack “Mecha Painting Pack 1” has been added, which contains the following 5 paintings:











OK. That’s whole content included in this update. Please look forward to our next update!

The nominations for the Steam Awards are here, and The HARDCORE MECHA would be honored with your vote in the “Better with Friends” category!



Get a friend to watch your back, or stab a friend in his back, will ya? (We have added the functionality to gain exp in custom match, and Steam ’s recently added “REMOTE PLAY TOGTHER” feature also opens up new possibilities for multiplayer You're welcomed to make good use of it!)

One more thing, we'll announce some new information about a brand new game mode next week. Please stay tuned!

Dear ACE pilots! Long time no see! We have brought back a great update for you!

This update includes:

To satisfy the needs of both "enjoy the story" and "face the challenge", you can select the from "easy" or "normal" when creating the save. Also, you can change the difficulty at any time later in the game.

We are still trying our best to avoid those "stun to death" situations.



Due to the limited development budget and time, HARDCORE MECHA only includes Japanese voice over when released. However, this update will change this situation. We went over the lines over and over again to adapt the Chinese culture and also added some swears and dialects. We also invited many famous voice actors for this. Come and see how many familiar voices you can find in the game!

The exact same ammount of EXPs can be gained from custom matches as well! Say farewell to those laggers, invite your friends and play a good game!


As you can see, this is a mecha built around the missiles. The mecha that satisfy your dark ambush desire.
Since the missiles are so interesting so fun, in order to let the players experience the missiles-all-over-the-sky scene, we broke the rules and decided:
The multiplayer mecha Halberd Guided Model will be released as a free update for the game. Any player reaches level 6 can unlock it immediately. Hands and feet are just decorations, missiles are the true thing!
ACE pilots, with missiles in your hands, Dragoon will no longer be your opponent. Go!

I'm gonna go get the cards. Just see for yourself:

This 1.05 update includes many improvement and adjustment, mainly focused on the feedbacks players gave us in the first month after launch. These new contents should be able to improve your user experience effectively. Also, we still expect to hear from you. Your feedbacks are the power of our hard working development!
