About
Pilot a giant walking mech across a ruined frontier, seen from inside its pixel-art cockpit. Your guns fire on their own while the walker strides forward; tap the canopy glass to put extra shots exactly where you want them. Between waves, lean over to the console and spend your salvage on the glowing CRT monitors that line the cockpit wall.
HOW IT PLAYS
Every sector is ten waves of crawlers, walkers, drones and gunships, capped by a boss: the Fortress Crawler, the Siege Spider and, at the end of the road, HARDPOINT PRIME. Bosses come with a timer and a glowing weak point, so a quick finger matters. If your hull gives out you fall back a wave, patch up and push again. Charge the OVERDRIVE button and your weapons cycle faster for a few seconds.
THE COCKPIT
MECH BAY - level up servo arms, reactor, hull plating, legs and coolant with scrap.
WEAPONS - spend cores on three research trees: ballistics, missiles and energy. Unlock nine weapons, from the autocannon and gatling to the railgun, swarm missiles, artillery, laser, beam sweep and plasma lance.
ARMOR - plating, energy shields and repair systems, with repeatable MK ranks once a branch is complete.
HANGAR - send salvage drones on timed expeditions to the Scrapyard, the Crash Site and the Vault Ruins.
NAV MAP - track your route across six biomes: Rust Basin, Ash Dunes, Toxic Mire, Glass Wastes, Storm Cradle and Crimson Spire.
PILOT LINK - perform a Neural Re-sync to restart the climb with Sync points for permanent pilot perks, and personalise your walker with paint, canopy frames and a dashboard charm.
IT KEEPS FIGHTING
Close the game and the walker keeps salvaging. When you come back, the log printer hands you a field report of the scrap and cores it earned while you were away.
THE HALL OF FAME
The campaign clock starts the first time you press ENGAGE and stops when HARDPOINT PRIME falls. Inscribe your pilot callsign on the online Hall of Fame and see how your journey time compares, then carry on into endless mode, where the frontier never ends.
