You woke in a burst specimen pod in Vault-7 with a stranger's voice in your ear and a facility that wants you contained. You are the HOVER STRIKER, an escaped prototype mech. Between you and the sky: twelve districts, each with its own hazards, its own economy and a boss who would rather you stayed. FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT - Twelve hand built districts, from containment labs and flooded service ways to a fortified compound, a server maze and an orbital ring - Eleven bosses with escalating phases. Every bridge you cross is one you earned - Timed shutters, signal jamming fields and patrol scans. Every district plays differently FIVE WEAPONS, FIVE JOBS - Arc Blaster, Energy Sword, Heavy Blaster, Continuous Laser and the Mechanical Tentacles, a four arm rig that reaches, clamps and recoils - Try any weapon free in Training before you spend a token on it - Focus and Sweep stances re-shape a volley without changing its damage BANK IT OR LOSE IT - Salvage is only yours once it is banked, so every run back to the safe dome is a decision - Die out there and your cargo waits at the wreck. One walk back wins it back BUILD A CHASSIS THAT IS YOURS - Global Chassis Core upgrades travel with you. Each district workshop tunes weapons for local conditions - Evolve through five chassis forms as you tier up - One earned module slot: Servo Grip, Stagger Capacitor or Coolant Vent REPLAY WHAT YOU BEAT - Echo Contracts are replayable echoes of bosses you have already defeated, with medal objectives and a fixed loadout practice run - Echoes are separate from the story. Nothing in them changes bridges, bosses or the ending - The Overdrive track pays three mech appearances and a companion, free, for progress you already made MADE FOR ONE THUMB - Touch anywhere movement, auto targeting combat, sessions that respect your time - Separate music and effects volume, reduce motion, shake and flash sliders, damage number density, text size, striped danger bars, and a joystick you can resize, fade and move to either hand - No account required. Play offline. Progress saves on your device Optional purchases are exactly that. The whole grid can be beaten free. The three appearance packs are cosmetic and change nothing about damage, drops, repair or collection, and every one can be previewed on your own mech before you decide.

Verdict

The call

Devour Idle RPG's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
