Mech Armada, tactical turn-based rogue-lite, hitting Switch this week

Lioncode Games announced today that it’s bringing Mech Armada to Switch. The game is just a couple of days out, and is set to arrive digitally on December 8, 2022.

Mech Armada is a tactical turn-based rogue-lite. Players can design custom mechs from dozens of unique parts and then deploy them across tile-based, procedural environments. 

Here’s some additional information:

Blending multiple genres to create a challenging, turn-based tactics game, Mech Armada takes influences from the likes of Into The Breach, X-Com and Slay The Spire, and blends them into a unique experience where your robots become your deck. Offering huge creative freedom to piece together mech parts into ultimate fighting machines, it’s down to players to decide what force they want to use against their alien opponents.

Whether you choose to create a mech with a gatling cannon and spider legs, or one offering repair drones and an orbital bombardment, Mech Armada wants you to not only have fun experimenting with design and builds, but to also apply their tactical possibilities on each run. From leveraging terrain to managing limited resources, players will need to exploit the strengths of their mechs to defeat the Swarm or face oblivion. Getting it wrong will see you start over with all-new maps, enemies, parts and rewards for a fresh run.

Key Features

• Deep strategic combat: There are no perfect solutions. Create your own strategy by cleverly making the most out of your resources and the situation.
• Design your own mech: With 80+ available Mech parts, you can create thousands of unique combinations. Each part has its own strengths and weaknesses, giving you an enormous range of possibilities.
• Turn-Based combat: You can move into position and attack with each of your mechs, in any order. Then it’s the Swarm’s turn…
• Procedurally generated: All the gameplay elements (monsters, maps, resources and rewards) are randomly combined and balanced ensuring no two battles are the same.
• Roguelike campaign: Death means game over. Try again with an entirely new run, with new random parts and encounters. You’ll have to make do with what you get!
• Auto-save: Never worry about saving again. Leave your game at any point and return exactly where you left off.
• Sandbox Mode: Wanting to try new tactics, Mech designs and strategies without risk? Head to the Sandbox. Practice your maneuvers, test unique loadouts and refine your strategies against The Swarm as you refine your tactics.
• Environment variety: From the outskirts of destroyed cities, to desert wastelands, the Swarm spreads and the battle for survival rages on.
• Epic bosses: They’re massive, ugly and ridiculously tough. Are you up to the task?

We’ve included a trailer for the game below.

Mech Armada will cost $19.99 / €19.99/ £17.99 on the Switch eShop. Pre-orders are open, and fans can take advantage of a 20 percent launch discount.
