L'humanité affronte PharOS, une I.A. rebelle qui étend sans fin son emprise sur la galaxie, en déployant d'anciens mechs immunisés contre son contrôle. Ces Ignited Steel mechs constituent le cœur des affrontements stratégiques au tour par tour, où il faut gérer l'énergie pour attaques et déplacements tout en risquant la surchauffe pour amplifier les dégâts au prix d'une vulnérabilité accrue. Les types Juggernaut, Stalker et Javelin apportent chacun des atouts et des parades uniques, personnalisables grâce à des modules dédiés obtenus en libérant les planètes.
Au fil de la campagne, qui progresse nœud par nœud, des pilotes aux personnalités et tactiques distinctes rejoignent l'équipe, dévoilant des planètes variées, des récits, événements et missions qui diffèrent à chaque partie. Les joueurs achètent de nouveaux modules pour peaufiner leur arsenal. Les fans de strategy RPG friands d'équilibre entre risques en combat mech et constitution d'escouades au fil de campagnes procédurales y trouveront un défi ciblé.
Check out the prologue here, a free trial that expands the Ignited Steel universe!
Aiming to fulfill its expansion instinct, humanity created an A.I. which controls and manages all necessary resources to expand the human race throughout the galaxy. Soon, a fatal flaw in the A.I. "PharOS" code was discovered: it could not and would not stop expanding.
With the hope to halt PharOS’ expansion, the human race depends on "The Ignited Steel” program, a plan reliant on outdated technology which PharOS cannot control.
Old Mechs from past wars are now humanity’s only hope.
Attacking and moving mechs requires energy and can overheat the mech. If overheated, mechs output more damage while being more vulnerable to enemy attacks.
A key element to gameplay is finding the perfect balance between damage and vulnerability.
Pilots from every corner of the universe volunteer to the Ignited Steel program, each bringing their unique personalities and tactics.
As the Ignited Steel program regains control of the galaxy, new pilots will join the cause against PharaOS.
There're 3 types of mechs: Juggernaut, Stalker and Javelin, each with their own advantages and counterplay.
Mechs are built using unique modules each with their own purpose. As the Ignited Steel program liberates the galaxy, they will earn and purchase new modules with unique traits.
The galaxy is full of contrasting planets and stories to be told. By jumping from node to node the ignited steel program will discover the galaxy's stories, and add new modules and pilots to the crew. New planets, pilots, modules, events and missions in every playthrough!
