The only plot is "fight invasion" thats it :blob-no-thoughts:
The conceit is that your squad has some experimental "predictive" tech module, so as the player you can scrub within each 5s turn timeline to see what enemies will do next while you program in your own actions. Then you click Go and the game advances 5s

Its a bit janky and unbalanced but it might find some fans here

I had a ton of fun with the demo and I'm looking forward to getting into this and the customization and the brrap brrap pyeeeooouu kaboom when I finish playing the ascent. I'm sorta hoping that the first balance patch will be out by then that renerfs missiles.
Yeah. The fact that you get shown when the missiles are launched but not when they're going to hit kind of nullifies your "see the future" gambit.
I've been really enjoying it, despite some of the obvious problems. It's extremely satisfying when a plan goes well and your mechs just annihilate the enemies in five seconds.
Yeah. I do wish they had a "watch the whole battle" feature afterward, but I think the system can't rock that for some reason.

Frozen Synapse was another game that did something similar, it's a really cool concept, but there don't seem to be that many games which handle turns that way
There's a recent fighting game that does it too, Your Only Move is Hustle. It's pretty cool
Hadn't heard of it before but the combat system sounds a lot like Valkyria Chronicles and I like those games so I should check this out
I will play any games with mecha in it. My one weakness. If the mechs are customizable I instinctively fall in love with it no matter how good it is.
See the future mecha feels like 'Into the Breach' which turns turn-based strategy into a puzzle game. Exciting seeing the same thing done to a more involved combat system!
It's really fun but imo needs some tweaking around collisions being wonky, your mechs having no sense to avoid collisions with each other, and the melee being really hard to grasp.
Still, I'm having a good time.
