Ex-EA & Ubisoft devs announce tactical mech game Armor Attack

If you read GamingTrend, you know I’m a mech junkie. Seriously, I can’t get enough of em. Well, there’s a little something on the horizon to be excited about. KEK Entertainment, the team behind War Robots, is bringing us a new tactical shooter called Armor Attack. Coming to iOS, Google Play, PC, Mac, and consoles-to-be-announced (with crossplay!), Armor Attack looks like a fun run-and-gun mech smashing action gunner. Let’s dig in.

In Armor Attack, the future of society lies in the hands of three opposing factions who are fighting to gain control over what’s left on Earth after decades of war and social upheaval. Players will participate in all-out mech vehicle warfare, customizing and taking control of battle technologies including robots, tanks, wheeled machines and more to gain victory over their opponents. Thrilling and unforeseen experiences will ensue through exciting interactive environments, various unique ability-centered vehicle types and enhanced cinematic experiences that will keep players at the edge of their seats.

“As gamers ourselves, we always wondered why there were not more opportunities to experience the same quality play with friends across all types of gaming platforms,” said Georgy Egorov, CEO and Co-Founder of KEK Entertainment. “So, we are making our own ultimate mecha shooter experience for friends to enjoy across PC, mobile and consoles without sacrificing caliber.”

Key gameplay features can be found below:

• CLASS AND ABILITY-CENTERED VEHICLES – Choose and customize your vehicle, each with a unique expertise to be successful on the battlefield. From a reaction engine to the scout map, a big energy shield for you and your teammates or a fire bomb with AoE damage, players will notice how each vehicle provides a completely new playstyle.
• CUSTOMIZABLE COMBAT – Tailor your battle machines for specific combat objectives. Use the most effective combinations of unit abilities, upgrades, weapons and talent systems to create tactically diverse drop teams.
• INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT – Every map has its own game-changing mechanic. Be it an ever-changing map layout, a strategically important vantage point or a huge AI-controlled boss – each one has the potential to turn the tides of war.
• THREE FACTIONS AND THREE MOTIVATIONS – Explore three different playing styles and battle technology designs: defense, damage and exploiting the battlefield. You’ll soon discover the stories behind them which have created the world of Armor Attack.
• CROSSPLAY – Create your dream team by playing with friends across devices. No need to pick and choose anymore!
