About this game

Advanced nations are fighting for scarce natural resources across five planets. Land your mech force, establish a base and build the strength needed to defeat rival armies. Gather rock, sand and crystal to pay for buildings and combat units. Select individual mechs or organise groups, then balance expansion and production with attacks on enemy positions. Recover parts from defeated machines and recycle the wreckage into new weapon designs. Missions combine resource gathering, base development and combat, including protecting convoys and raiding opponents.
