Available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it offers an immersive experience across multiple platforms.

To enhance their performance, players have the freedom to modify their mechs using various parts. With slots available for weapons on each arm and two on the mech's rear, players have a lot of options at their disposal to customize their loadouts and engage in thrilling battles.
