INTRODUCTION

dieselpunk real-time tactics roguelite set in an alt-history World War 2. Grit and Valor – 1949 puts you in command of an elite Mech Squadron. Think fast and battle the Evil Axis forces to liberate Europe. Upgrade your Mechs and Pilots and develop new strategies to neutralize the enemy HQ!

FEATURES

EVOLVED REAL-TIME TACTICS GAMEPLAY Deploy your Mech Squad and command them in real time to fend off waves of enemies. Each new battlefield presents a new challenge with unique combinations of adversaries and terrain. Think fast to use higher ground and cover, exploit enemy weaknesses, and utilize tactical advantages to withstand the assault, while defending your Command Vehicle.
DEVASTATING REGION BOSSES Your tactics may be sound, but if you reach the end of your run, you’ll need to make one last stand against a menacing Axis General. These end of Region boss battles will have you facing overwhelming odds, wave upon wave of elite enemies, new hazards, and Kaiju-sized Boss Mechs.
BUILD THE ULTIMATE MECH SQUAD You have the freedom to customise and configure your squad of Mechs and Pilots to adapt your tactics for each new mission. Earn Valor to level up your Pilot’s unique abilities and Scrap to upgrade your Mechs before to gain the advantage on the battlefield.
REGROUP. REBUILD. REDEPLOY. If your Command Vehicle is destroyed, your Mission is over. Regroup at the Resistance Base, rebuild and upgrade your squad, and redeploy! The Scrap and Valor you earn in the field can be used to upgrade Mechs and level up Pilot abilities. But prepare for the unexpected; the battlefields, enemies you face, and any rewards you receive, will never be the same twice.

FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Enemies are cool all have own look and own attacks to learn to counter them as it like a rock paper scissor to enemies but is helpfully shown in corner of the screen.

Mechs that you can unlock and use all have own look and own stats and own feel to them in combat and all have special abilities aswell.

Characters that you meet all have own look and own personality to them.

Choices are massive part of the game and can massively turn the run as can help build one unit into a super health or tanky or crit machine.

Parts all have own look, uses, stats and can swap them around to all different mechs to make own builds.

Upgrades are cool as alot of them and all have own uses and look such as more health or reducing the cooldown on the special abilities and much more.

Combat is fun and fast paced and even has active events such as the battlefield being attacked with mortars forcing you to move units around and more.

Controls are easy to learn and very responsive which is nice.

Can be easy to get mobbed by enemies and die which fails the runs.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall can be easy to get mobbed by enemies and fail runs. However for £15.99, story is fun, enemies own look, attacks to learn but always shows on the screen which units are strong and weak to and the mechs you use all have own look and own stats to them and all have own feel to them and own specials and the characters you meet all have own personality to them and choices on items that you pick up can help run and help make builds for the run and parts and upgrades all have own look, uses to make own build and can swap parts around to suit your style and combat is fun and fast paced and the controls are easy pick and responsive and so much more in the game.
