This looks like a standard fighting game, but behind the 90-foot death-robots are a bunch of stats, and pilots with their own stats, which can be mixed and matched for varying results. The career mode lets you build those up from scratch and to your liking. But my favorite part is this little gem from the excellent and exhaustive on-disk manual: “In this future, the governments are puppets to big corporations.” Yeah we’re at least 70 years early on that one.
