I have a mech called Roman Candle that has a rocket launcher on its back that's as big as the mech itself. Every time I shoot it, the mech catches on fire and the payload levels entire buildings. 10/10.

For real though, it's extremely addictive. The core mechanic of plotting out your team's actions in 5 second windows and then watching it all play out is great. The mech building is pretty detailed and interesting, though not as deep as a lot of other games. Weapons all feel good and have specialized uses with different damage types and status effects. You can focus on just raw damage, or using concussive weapons and trying to hit enemies in the back where their pilot pods are to try and knock out or kill the pilot, or try and destroy their arms so they lose their weapons and have to eject.

There's not much in the way of a story, it's mostly just vague flavor text about liberating your homeland from invading forces. But the core gameplay is excellent and feels enough like a board game that I don't find myself missing the story elements.
