NEEDLEFALL

Build turrets, howitzers, flame bunkers, beam towers and flak towers. Your mechs hold the front where the turrets can't reach.

RTS controls, selection, control groups, attack-move, queued orders and formations you draw with the mouse.

Walling yourself in isn't enough, the Flux veins run dry and the Hive grows toward your base. To win, you have to go out and hunt it down, zone by zone.

Up to 4 commanders with radio comms, play the campaign online with up to three friends. The economy is shared and each player leads their own army. To talk, drag the microphone to the center of the screen: your voice goes out over the in-game radio, with static.

Piece by piece, weapons, arms, shoulders, jetpack and cockpit, without going over the tonnage limit. With free design you can also change the legs and torso.

Eight archetypes, eight bodies, there are spiders, jets, tracks and humanoids, and each one has its own ability: LYNX jumps with its jetpack, PYRE burns, HAMMER sieges, BASTION digs in, LANCE pierces, TEMPEST spins and sweeps, HORNET locks on and WRENCH repairs.

Nine research trees, each archetype earns its own experience in combat and spends it on new parts, higher-level weapons and upgrades to its ability. Forks force you to choose.

Direct reinforcements, call in your designs from the control panel and they'll drop wherever you have vision.

Orbital strike, draw a line and the Meridian sweeps it with eight impacts in a row.
