The year is 3025 and the galaxy is stuck in a cycle of perpetual war. These are noble houses frighting with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles. Hence what we know as BattleMechs.

While surviving in a brutal interstellar civil war.
The whole concept behind the gameplay is far more immersive. Giving players a Darkest Dungeon type vibe, managing crew and their issues. And seeking out and organizing funds to repair damanaged mechs’s.
