Strategic robot carnage intensifies as autobattler Mechabellum hits its 1.0 release

Strategy autobattler Mechabellum has hit its full release after 16 months in early access, with developers Game River declaring the PvP or PvE robot battling to be, finally, complete—though development will continue. With large-scale battles taking place over multiple rounds, Mechabellum has you draft, place, and refine your force of attackers to defeat your opponent's choices and claim final victory.

The 1.0 update brings new specialist types, the lumbering fire badger flame tank and the two giant rotary guns on crab legs that is the typhoon. It also includes a rank system with separate leagues that will be divided into seasons. As you improve over the course of a season you'll be promoted into higher leagues to aim for the top spots.
