Our take on Techwars Online
The game departs from standard turn-based strategy through its stated no-RNG combat system, while also combining planned mech battles with faction rivalry, territory conflicts, and recurring tournaments.
What is Techwars Online?
Techwars Online is a turn-based strategy game set in the world of the Techwars novel.
Players choose between the American corporation Kato and the Russian company Dominion, receive a distinctive base mech, and develop a team of up to five combat mechs. Battles require planning several turns ahead and use a combined-damage system. Mechs can be modified, while pilots gain upgrades through multi-level neuroimplants. Four modes are available: a ten-mission campaign for each faction, head-to-head PvP, territory conflicts between players, and recurring tournaments. Combat uses no random number generation, so the game presents experience and tactical decisions as the basis for gaining an advantage in battle.
