thats totally different genre than BB which was more strategic resource/risk managment game than tactics, wonder how they will tackle that one

Looks very interesting
Cant wait to play it

I'm not fan of this direction but I know you just can't do BB 2, I guess I'll have to wait a year and see if they will recreated charm of BB.

>>1528749

I hope they make another BB dlc at some point

I do hope they get inspiration from UFO Defense rather than 2012

>>1528749
Hoped for something closer to BB, I don't rule out that it could be good but judging by the trailer alone the combat looks pretty uninspired.

Aesthetic is sweet. I hope there's a lot of equipment choices and you can modify/upgrade your ship. Also options on where you go.

>>1528749
Will be interesting to see if they just got lucky with BB or not. If it's just as good as BB was but a bit different, I'll be satisfied. I do feel like the aesthetics were part of the charm though. I dunno how a shift to 3D will change it.

Looks ugly as fuck.
I wonder why indies who create soulful 2D like in Battle Brothers always go to 3D for their next game while 3D is always garbage if you don't have a fuckton of money to put in the graphics.

Battle Brothers is a game that will age well because of 2D. This Menace game already looks a decade old and it's not even out yet. What a shame.

>>1529079
lmao fuck off /vr/ fag

>>1528765
While it kinda sucks it is hardly as offensive as it would have been in BB. Not only does it have "brothers" in the name but women in medieval style warfare is entirely ridiculous and unrealistic. In a future sci fi setting its much less so since it's already a thing now, and likely to become even more so as technology narrows the gap even more.

>>1528749
BB is fantastic. That being said the graphics of this game remind me of Phoenix point which just means that it looks generic. The jump from using a artistic 2D to 3D is pretty big so I am wondering how it plays out. Hopefully they do an interesting spin on this game just like they did with BB.

>>1528749
I'm gonna wait and see more of it before judging it, but I do agree that for the unique artstyle BB has I expected this to look a little less generic.

>>1528749
It looks like a Jagged Alliance lookin game. I can see guys going prone n shiet. Don't know if bullets are going to be simulated.

What's wrong with women in a sci-fi setting? I nothing wrong with that. The incels of vst strike again.

>>1528749
Wow! This game made a really, really big impression on me.
I immediately wishlisted it, followed it, and requested that all my friends do so as well. We have to support good guy devs! I joined their Discord too! Their community manager is really fun to talk to - you should give it a try!
The effects and explosions look just incredible. The animations? Total War can go home and smell socks (sic!).
I think I simply didn't have enough turn-based tactics games this year, or in the past 5.
There is nothing wrong with diversity, or women in gaming, or in sci-fi. All the best militaries in the world employ women soldiers and mixed gender squad tactics.

Looks like shit.

Underrated comment

>>1529157
A picture is worth a thousand words. Thankyou anon, I don't feel the need to respond to them now

I always installed legends / battle sisters on BB runs so I could play with female brothers with more diverse backgrounds and also lichmaxx

Agree that an indie or double-A move from 2d to 3d development is usually a mistake, but even so, I kinda like the art direction they're doing, particularly for combat. It looks and sounds meaty, seeing those vehicle HE rounds and machine gun tracers bouncing of the ground or enemy armor is satisfying.

Maybe they'll make do with smartly coded particle effects and mixed sounds what they can't do in modelling and texturing without a AAA budget.

it's one thing to constantly defend women over their bullshit, it's another thing to call out retards who have fucking autism attacks over knowing there will be playable female characters in a video game. It's less about defending the women, and more about defending the choices made by the devs/the game itself

I'm wondering whether the million bucks the devs received from the german government had something to do with suddenly becoming more 'inclusive'.

>>1529382
It's just schizos, ignore them. They got it wrong on BG3, they got it wrong on this game. Women fit fine in sci-fi settings due to tech augments, combat drugs and vehicles. Look at 40k and Aliens.

I always find this hilarious, also in the context of anti-legion viewpoints in Fallout NV. Who do you think is the worse sexist - someone who doesn't want women involved in combat at all, or the one who conscripts them to be cannon fodder?

>>1529108
>and likely to become even more so as technology narrows the gap even more.
"Narrowing the gap" is funny when you consider the said gap between male and female is much wider for professional athletes compared to the average people. Also even if you consider high-tech such as power armors, there is the question of reaction time, for example, or the fact men are more technologically minded.

Soldiers aren't professional athletes. The effective gap between a female and male in the military is closer than ever when your primary weapon is a rifle, your primary mode of transportation is a vehicle and your primary method of living is in a fortified compound of some kind. While I hate having women in the military as much as anyone else, it's generally far more practical and plausible nowadays than it would have been in the middle ages

>>1529743

This might be true for america and the wars it was involved in (after vietnam), but looking at cuckraine neither of your three points seem to hold up. Even if women can learn to shoot guns as well as men, soldiers spend 99% of their time carrying them around and not shooting, and the use of vehicles to transport infantry decreases the closer you get to the actual fighting.

>>1529747
Yes. There are more combat veterans that are female now than at any other point in history. Thank you for your response.

>>1529783
>civilian coming through
How often do you think the gunner in an armoured vehicle dismounts? Yes combat arms carry their weapons, yes woman are still less physically capable than men. And yes, the gap is still closer than ever because using a sword is entirely a matter of strength and physical capability, but a rifle is not and can be used to a great degree of effect by a less capable person.

>>1529740
>>1529629
but i don't bitch about women, that is another anon
and even if he want to bitch and vent about it on clay tablet scribbling forum its not really your business, devs don't see it so why defend them?
let him went
devs made their choices so let them face them

I'll be honest with you, disappointed with the addition of women but battlebrothers was good and I like that this is both gonna be turn based tactics games while also featuring vehicles, squads rather than individuals for the purpose of infantry, mechs, and what looks to be a large scale compain with some degree of resource management.
If there's another game out there like this I'll go play it but the only other thing I've seen that seems to be attempting something like this is mars tactics, which is even worse on the front of diversity and with an unproven dev, and ascendant of ashes, which is real time rather than turn based anyways, and might just end up being a rimworld style sim with better combat.
Could be better, but everything I'm seeing so far, I love...

who cares it will take them 2 years to release it in early access stage then extra 5 years for dlc and patches so its not barebones like vanilla BB, by that time i probably will be dead

>>1530109

Jump straight to that next time

Any word on modability?
IIRC they intentionally obfuscated BB to prevent modding until modders got around it then they just stopped trying to prevent it. Logically this should be built around modding support since their modding community turned out to be pretty good but most companies are extremely petty and incapable of admitting wrongs.

You can admit you like the style but they're hardly good and the people in them certainly aren't portrayed as badasses, some would argue that's the point but that's not what the average fan of them seems to believe.

>>1530145
Infantry is basically just that, bodies in trenches that needs to be removed and women can do that part not that much worse than men. Spec ops shit and infantry role in general as far as direct combat goes is so fucking overblown by movies and videogames people really started to believe that it was reality.

The problem is the military wants someone to be combat effective, not just "bodies that need to be removed". Infantry has to wear, carry and use 120lbs worth of gear to be more than just inconveniently placed targets.

Your argument would be more sane if you used any other branch of the military.

The biggest argument against women soldiers is how they react to literally any situation.

the physical weakness, most importantly the fragile pelvis, is entirely secondary for martial performance to their poor stress response and inability to cooperate

Judging by the look it seems to go more into the direction of tabletop wargaming

Infantry Units are moving in squads and it seems that they can have varied equipment among the squad.

Tanks and APC-s are operating as individual units.

I'm rarely curious about the games but here I will be watching with great interest. Small scale tabletop wargaming is an untapped market on PC. We had things like 40k Sanctus Reach or 40k Battle sector. But they offered linear campaigns.

Open world game with same mechanics and with strategic layer would be great. If they deliver we may get even something like Chapter Master with fleshed out gameplay and actual tactical combat.

>>1533763
only small percentage play mods tho, sure it helps to keep player base and interest in the game(so you can sell more dlc or expansion or sequel) but overall it have little influence on initial success

Initial success maybe, but look at Warband for example, it still has lots of players, active modding scene and a strong multiplayer presence 12 years later, even despite bannerlord being out.

>>1533839
as i said
modding increase game staying power which may not be desirable for devs/publisher if they want to sell dlc, expansions and sequels
games gets mods because they are successful and popular, not otherwise
battle bothers were success before it get cracked by some spaniard who manually cracked it and enable modding - which would never happen if game was shit

Mods are the things that keep people engage, no one would play Skyrim or Rimworld if it wasnt for mods.
Do them or perish.

it sold because its decent game and then it get mods
tell me about all these mods on consoles where skyrim sold too
also the most popular skyrim mod has like 7mln unique downloads on 60mln sold copies
sure skyrim modding fanbase is huge but that si because it was huge player base in first place

>>1533893
thats cause skyrim and rimworld are shit games without mods though
very few people play battlebrothers with mods

kill modders behead modders slam dunk a modder's files into the recycle bin

the black chick really kills the mood
not a fan of the asian guy either, brown lady gets to be a vasquez stand in I suppose, but black woman characters are always just so obnoxious
https://videogames.si.com/features/menace-first-look
rest of the art looks good though
Only 26 characters is concerning though, I know that's not a small number but it definitely isn't the massive pool as mentioned on the store page, though I suppose this is only for early access
hopefully there will be many many many more

>>1535183
>Unlike Battle Brothers, all characters you can recruit in Menace are going to have handwritten background stories and unique artwork
Sounds repetitive, but at the same time reminds me of, probably a bad example, Zafehouse Diaries. It had preset characters but you could also insert your own images and make your own characters, assign stats, write their profile, etc. If this game has that, it would be okay.

>We tried to avoid Overwatch, because we hate it
>That’s also why they’re going back and forth on enabling players to enter buildings with infantry – it bogs battles down and it’s “just icons floating over buildings shooting each other and you are not seeing the units at all.” Hence you can only enter the rubble of destroyed buildings right now.
Shit game. At least I know it's not X-com now, so it's off my watch list.

>>1535246
I don't know why people keep making xcom comparisons. The two things it has in common is it's sci fi(even still it's more military sci fi and futuristic than modern xcom is) and turn based.
I imagine many people are going to be profoundly disappointed if they believe it's gonna be xcom 3.
Vehicles however, seem like they'll be much more fleshed out and the scale seems larger, and with how the setting and gameplay has been described so far, it really seems closer to battlebrothers in SPAAACE!

Honestly, disincentivizing overwatch is good though I'm not sure about keeping people out of buildings, though I do get the reasoning, with the way they have buildings set up and the squad sizes, there's not much you could do inside the one tile buildings we've seen so far.

>>1535255
agreed on overwatch. It was made mandatory by xcom and all the clones copied that. Simply too good and too cheap.

>>1535255
>>1535280
So what, do you think aliens should be able to walk right up to you and clap your cheeks during their turn, then dance away unmolested even though there's a dozen guys with guns pointed right at them?

>I don't know why people keep making xcom comparisons.
For the same reason people keep comparing 4x to Civ, even though not every 4x is Civ. They do keep mentioning Jagged Alliance so you know it's not something completely original at least. And I was thinking old X-com, not new, where you could also save some turn points and have reaction shots against incoming things.

>>1535255
The devs themselves compared it to xcom, and in many ways it does sound similar (turn-based tactics with upgradeable mobile base fighting aliens in s scifi setting).

>>1535315
I'm really not sure, advance wars and civ don't really have overwatch and it works fine in those games.
Still I don't think the aliens should be able to just walk up to you, and they didn't say there's no overwatch, just that they hate it. I'm interested to see what they've got, I'm imagining their idea is that it's there but it's rarely the best option.
Which I like, encouraging the player to be pro-active rather than overwatch crawling.
Battlebrothers encouraged you to be pro-active as well, some enemies wouldn't come towards your perfect position unless they felt they had some advantage or you were shooting at them, which was very exploitable, but there was only so much they could do.

I would wait and see, anyways, but that's just because the game as described sounds like a dream to me, which should perhaps prepare me for disappointment, but I'm hopeful. Even if it fails, I'll just leap to ascent of ashes or mars tactics.

how else do you think its going to work? its openXcom on different planets

>>1535514
I would prefer to have your dudes back even if it leads to a less involved story.
There is a clear goal but I wonder if fulfilling that goal is equivalent to fulfilling the "win" condition of battlebrothers.
Warhammer fantasy was an inspiration for bb though so 40k isn't the worst inspiration for this, and while grimdark-ish I do appreciate they seem to have kept a different aesthetic from 40k and I'm going to guess it's going to have less grimderp everyone is irreparably evil and there's nothing anyone can do about it stuff.
>>1535516
I enjoy openxcom and would like to see a modern version with less ancient clunkiness but I don't think that's what this.
Maybe it'll turn out similar to x-piratez and people who play that will say they've already got it for free, but I don't play x-piratez and don't intend to do so, don't like it's setting or themes.
Like I said though, I'm expecting battlebrothers in space as far as the strategic layer goes, which I consider to be at least a little different from x-com. I'm expecting the scale of units to result in slightly different gameplay, potentially less lethality but more damage being thrown around, one thing I've seen mentioned is that since your squads will be firing into other squads, it's unlikely for there to be misses, thus guaranteeing at least some sort of chip damage. Not sure how I feel about that gameplay-wise but at least it makes sense in the context of the setting.

The way operations, which I suppose are equivalent to bb's contracts, will work seems interesting as well, in essence making every combat encounter multi-stage without recovery or reinforcement, if I understand correctly.

>>1535315
I just remembered, the article mentioned suppression which, if heavy enough, can cost the suppressed unit it's entire turn. If you see a scary unit, perhaps you're meant to make them immobile through fire.

The "characters" are probably just squad/team leaders that act as buffs when attached to your infantry squads. Maybe with a bit of a flavor dialogue here and there, just like Origins in BB

At least this is what i think they are going for

>>1536694
>just squad/team leaders
yes
now do start with same one?
looking at the sample one its gonna be 'diverse' cast so if you find some of them annoying with cringe dialogue then it get even more limited
are their perks/skill tress gonna be same every run? or semi randomized?
don't want to be forced to sue same guys each run only because of their skill sets, especially if they are unappealing for me

In all seriousness, I'm glad they've chosen to include women, because it means I'll get to consistently fight and kill women, which was a rare treat in Battle Brothers. Maybe there'll be some eyecandy or decent waifus out of it. That hijabi chick in the art pic looked cute, it'd be fun to spec her into an explosives expert. Could do without the butch lesbo looking chick but they're getting government grant money from Germany, of course they'll have to compromise somewhere. With most devs I wouldn't look twice but for the team that made Battle Brothers, I'll give Menace a fair shake before I dismiss it.

The REAL question is whether their soundtrack will hold up. Battle Brothers' was among the greatest of all time; Menace has unimaginable expectations to match.

I don't need the 3D graphics, just give me the exact same style as Battle Brothers but with railguns and power armour.

>>1530151
I didn't say that. I just don't get the point of immediately dismissing the game because there is women in it. Why not wait until it comes out and you make a judgment based on what actually matters like gameplay

>>1529729
It's retarded because dismissing a game, especially one with this kind of gameplay and setting, purely because women are in it makes no fucking sense. It would make more sense to judge the game on technical and gameplay issues when it actually comes out. I never said to blindly consume the product, I was just saying it's fucking stupid to dismiss it over something so childish. You never even refuted my point, instead you chose to talk about and mock my usage of the phrase "thinking too deep about the issue" which doesn't even refute my original point.

It's all fiction, it's not meant to be a realistic setting whatsoever, I suppose you'll bothered by aliens being in the game? Seeing as they don't exist IRL?

>>1535255
>>1535280
Why don't games just fucking use the Reactions system from oldcom it worked so much better than Overwatch

I mean, if it were any other developer I would not be buying this game because of women and diversity.
However, the style of game they've described sounds unique and battlebrothers is very fun to play.
Hopefully there's enough males that I can just avoid hiring female characters without gimping my play.

>>1538160
I don't see the point.

In the future where force multipliers are a thing gender differences are less relevant. Biggest problem would be carry capacity. But that related to doctrine. On the other hand females are very good at sharpshooting when properly trained. Related to the being less prone to tremors. Look at Peshmerga for example. It's hard to verify that scientifically. But let's assume you take 100 male kids and 100 female kids and train them from childhood to be soldiers. I would bet that you will achieve better average aim results among the female test group. Males have bigger strength allowing higher carry capacity on the other hand.

Forced equality is a brain rot of course. But Misogony is on the other side of that coin. Both stances are illogical at the core.

Wuts the fuss. Battle Brothers was an excellent game. This one will prob be one too. And women is the bone you want to pick? Lo

Don't you choose who to hire like in BB? If so you could just not hire women.

>>1538499
yeah but the crappy part is there's only 26 people to hire, so it depends on what the proportion of men to women is and how exactly recruitment works
I don't mind the diversity as much considering it's in space and it seems implied that you're going to be reliant on hiring criminals and mercenaries outside of your starting professional marines, but it always kills my immersion no matter the setting to see more than even a quarter of a force composed of women
Guess I'll just have to play well...

My ass. Men have better reflexes, aim and faster reaction times. Men have better endurance, thus they can be subject to intense physical activity and be ready to fight. Women can not. Women cant even compete with men if enlisted as artillery crew. Yes, they are dogshit at loading shells too. Women can not fight. If it comes to enlist women, you already lost.
>muh soviet union
Propaganda and inflated numbers.
>muh enhancement and roids
Men have a better base to start with. Roiding and enhanced men will be still be stronger than roiding women.
Women inject unnecessary drama and break the camaraderie spirit. War is a men's affair. We had studies amd generals saying wen do not belong im the army and they were all ignored. Apparently applying ESG scores to an army makes it better.

War is not the domain of men, it's the domain of war, it's affair of warriors.
If someone is capable and willing, they pass by sheer merit, all and anyone else is irrelevant.

War is a cosmic concept.
Statistics mean nothing much like facts, because they are mere crystallizations of probabilities, history is merely that which is written, which can be written in any way, and common sense varies from place to place, while being challengeable by uncommon senses.
Reasons why things are done or not done are not always rational or irrational, or even related to select issue. Anything can be done in many ways if that's actually necessary and one has actual competence and resources to do so.

Lmao gimme a break, war is nothing more than organized violence. There is nothing "cosmic" about it and daydreaming about "warriors" or whatnot is delusional.
Everybody can be pressganged to be a "warrior" but only males have biological capacity to actually conduct violence in organized and efficient manner.

>>1538729
Reality is warped by reality warping, communism is just a long-term male spirit subduing ideology that exploits noble sentiments into negative outcomes, like all the rest.

>>1538730
That's because you limit the concept of violence to mere human scale interactions. Violence is everywhere on all scales of reality.

>>1538745
I said "organized" violence for a reason anon, please learn to read.
Sure, you could say that lions hunting antelopes use violence, but they sure as hell dont wage "war".
Words have definitions you know

>>1538762
In human sense, that would be so, but mechanically, life is inherently structured and it has variant intelligence on all levels of operation, it's simply most manifest in humans. Absence of similar organization and sapient rationales doesn't mean absence of human and inhuman abstract intents or impetuses unpercievable to all but few.

>Do you guys think the devs come here?
Come where? There's no unified Battle Brothers general in /vg/ or "Not General" in /vst/ (Like Starsector) that the devs can come to to get any input. A dev by themselves might come to 4Chan or so and even browse these threads, but there's no certainty that it won't be just some intern or art designer and has no control over the actual design of the gameplay.

>>1540021
>or "Not General" in /vst/
There was basically since /vst/ was first made. It's only just recently that they died. It was honestly the best place on the internet to discuss the game by a massive margin.

bro if you enjoy bosswomen tropes in video games that's cool and all but i don't know what kind of delusions you are on to believe it applies to real life
since the dawn of humanity men have gone to war and that's for a reason, women are un unfitted for combat enviorments for a bunch of reasons, that's why even today you won't find any type of infantry unit deployed in a conflict zone that has a women in it, it is something that hasnt changed at all in 4000 years of human civilization.
being deployed far from home in an unhospitable planet with man eating aliens is the most crayon eating cornfeed marine type job you could come up with, most men wouldn't even be cut for it let alone women

Battle Brothers stayed popular through sheer gameplay alone, so I have high hopes that a company that can do that will make something really good again.

>>1528765

fuck off, the only read flags is women in combat roles in game clearly inspired by Aliens and that they get some funding from germ government so there is chance that it will be pozzed more than usually
the other red banners may be limited pool of characters for EA but that will probably change and no words about modding support(but as long as they don't lock their files its shouldn't be a big problem), maybe also Casey writing will be cringe and that is all
unless you also count roguelike elements as red flag
graphics looks fine for a small dev studio and they still have their drawing man to made art so it should be fine
if you don't want to talk then fuck off with your BS

This is the first post that lists out actual red flags:
>nuCOM
Huge red flag, probably the largest.
>unity
Second largest.
>controller support
Third largest. Shill all you want, but I'll bet you ten bucks it's your basic bitch scrub dev bullshit of "oh snap people actually liked our game but said it was too hard so let's make something that appeals to a largest audience" and that shit always sucks ass. Believe whatever you want.

>>1541416
Literal non-issues, except for nuCOM being a matter of taste.

There's nothing wrong with Unity if you're not a grafixfag, and it's a turn-based tactical game so the type of input device doesn't matter because the gameplay is slow enough that you could even do it on a tablet if you wanted. Which Battle Brothers literally did, and it worked perfectly fine.

not an argument

>>1541425
It is when you're shilling your game or your buddy's game here. Fuck off. The moment you opted for fucking unity and the moment you announced how important console ports are is the moment you lost your core audience. I'm keeping my money. MAYBE I'll pirate it, but I'll let the court of 4chan opinion make that decision for me six months after release when I'm reminded your shitty game exists and is yet another nuCOM clone in an endless ocean of shitty nuCOM clones.

Cry more, faggot. I'll expect you to write "KRAUT WHORE FOR AMERICAN COCK" on your pubic area in your mom's streetwalking lipstick when that one year Epic Game Store exclusivity deal is announced. Be sure to throw up peace signs, V for Victory and all that.

You did yourself, ESL kraut. Remember? Scroll back up to check out where you were asking for red flags. It's not that far.

I haven't played XCom, did it have vehicles?

I like that this has player-controlled vehicles, actually can't think of TBS games with RPG elements that do. Neat that they have both normal tanks and mechs in the trailer... and some weird ISIS-looking katyusha jeep.

Yeah, I'll get on that, just as soon as your game stops being a EGS exclusive and I finish furiously beating my meat to Pam Grier's fat tits. So I'll see you in about three to four years.

its not egs exclusive tho you retard, it release on Steam at the same time
fucking moron and racemixer, lmao, can't be more mutt than you

>>1541434
old XCom have tanks(took 4 man space) and hover tanks, nuCom didn't, the thing is the scale is different than in x coms - your infantry come in squads(with many troops/models) and vehicles as single entity vs one man unit in x com
from what I take you can commandeer the mad max vehicles from human enemies you will face

>>1541439
>old XCom have tanks(took 4 man space)
Oh, yeah, that's where that meme of opening up the infantry fighting vehicle and instantly getting 1-shot by a hidden enemy comes from, isn't it?

>>1541440
that was drop ship not IFV(old x com didn't have them if by IFV you mean vehicles carrying troops)- it was just that tanks(or hovertanks) took 4 spots in dropship space so you could have one tank or 4 troops in its place), but yeah you are correct in getting BTFO by reaction fire when you leave your dropship on first turn

>except for the one with the shadowy gown saying "103rd", that looks too corny.

It's a spade

artist said it's actually supposed to be a hooded figure instead of a spade, love his art but didn't do a good job of portraying that if that was his intention
>>1541408
proud that two out of the 4 gameplay posts belong to me lol
>>1541437
a dev confirmed on the steam forum(that you claimed to have read) that it's not an egs exclusive

>>1541521
>artist said it's actually supposed to be a hooded figure instead of a spade
What's the one that says "marine" under it on the Asian guy's left shoulder supposed to be?

>>1541593
that one is supposed to be a spade, but if I'm not mistaken, the one anon was referring to was the one on the black chick

>>1540635

what marketing?

>>1540635
This artstyle reminds me of Xenonauts 2 for some reason.

>>1538157
yes because my suspension of disbelief extends to aliens and mechs but not to women being as physically capable as men
if women were only pilots or some subclasses i wouldn't mind

>>1542944
Have women be the crew of light crew served weapons like mortars as well as the cheap militia unit

>>1542970
>>1542944
Pilots, rear line medics, crew served weapons, etc

>>1542974
Have the option to press women into infantry and other roles they don't fit for lower quality outcomes as a desperation measure

Old xcom had female soldiers.

>>1543267
noo, this cant be tru7e

Because 3D is cheaper than 2D, end of story.

yes but the game is about special forces best of the best saving humanity and they are not women

>Command a strike force of marines, mercenaries, and criminals in a distant system, cut off from the Core Worlds. At the lawless frontier, the Wayback system is controlled by pirate warlords, questionable corporations, and fractured planetary governments who struggle for a new order. Though you initially lead your strike force of marines from aboard the strike cruiser TCRN Impetus, you'll quickly need to unite the disparate locals under your leadership to defeat an unknown threat. Fielding tanks, mechs, and infantry squads with a massive selection of equipment to choose from, you’ll train your troops, plan out operations, and engage in deadly tactical battles.
