Our take on UNDERDOGS
The defining structure is a run-based mech builder where more than 130 weapons, items, and tools can be combined into a machine built for destructive physics-driven fights.
What is UNDERDOGS?
UNDERDOGS is an action game about underground mech fights in New Brakka, a city controlled by gangsters and other dangerous characters.
Players control a giant metal mech through physics-based battles against enemy bots and mechs, using weapons, items, and power tools to shape each run. The game includes more than 130 pieces of equipment and supports building heavily customized machines. Outside fights, players can interact with more than 40 non-player characters, hire hackers and saboteurs, enter street fights, steal, and betray others. A character named King accompanies the player and provides commentary while the player works toward getting him into the city. Multiplayer free downloadable content is available.
