About this game
Lukida wants to leave Bitter, a desert planet strewn with the remains of interstellar war. Explore its landscapes in mechs, searching for materials and equipment as the journey develops. Machine parts change your mech's appearance, while pilots learn abilities by spending points, giving both the vehicle and its operator a role in progression. Battles revolve around personal Motorbots and turn-based decisions. Targeting weaknesses can break an enemy's guard and trigger attacks from assigned supporters. Driver's High supplies extra turns, adding another way to arrange an offensive. Exploration, equipment choices and pilot development feed into how you prepare the team for these encounters.

Nintendo Switch 2AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising match for players who enjoy building a team around weaknesses and chained attacks.
Breaking guards, triggering supporters and gaining extra turns offer connected reasons to plan an offensive. Mech customization and pilot abilities may give players who enjoy preparation as much as combat a useful second layer to explore.
Strengths
- Weakness attacks and supporter follow-ups can make party preparation matter to an attack sequence.
- Visible equipment changes may give mech customization a more tangible payoff.
Who it is for: Players interested in turn-based team planning, mech customization and an expedition across a desert science-fiction setting.
