Mechabellum is a highly approachable, infinitely replayable turn-based tactical auto battler in which players command a variety of powerful and customizable mechs in a futuristic battle for supremacy. Inspired by classic real-time strategy games but played out over a series of increasingly consequential rounds, Mechabellum rewards thoughtful unit selection, positioning, and upgrading; adaptive attack countering; and the ability to stay cool under fire while destroying the enemy’s army.

Players compete in 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all online matches, refine their armies between games, and can study or take control of replays to improve tactics. The game features a vibrant, competitive scene with regular tournaments and community-driven tutorials for new players.

Tailor-made for Strategic Thinkers
Mechabellum was created by strategy fans seeking a game where tactical planning matters more than fast reflexes. Drawing inspiration from legendary generals and historic battlefield formations, the team set out to build a competitive experience that rewards foresight, clever formations, and creative thinking over APM or complex micromanagement.

Unmatched Replayability
Mechabellum offers a virtually limitless array of possible outcomes, ensuring that no two matches are ever the same. Players must master not only the direct counters between units—ranging from the swarming Crawlers to the formidable Melting Point—but also how these units synergize as a cohesive army. This deep replayability empowers players to express their unique strategies, fostering a vibrant and creative community.

Our development team actively listens to community feedback and implements frequent balance updates, ensuring that Mechabellum remains fun, fair, and competitive at every level of play.

Innovative Unit Interactions
Crafting a great autobattler hinges on designing units whose roles subtly overlap while still feeling distinct, a challenge we embrace by ensuring each unit offers both unique strengths and shared utility. Take our “chaff” units, for example—these small, numerous squads, ranging from swift melee Crawlers to ranged Fangs and airborne Wasps, are engineered to excel in specific scenarios while also providing broad protection for your army. By applying this design principle across all units, Mechabellum remains accessible for newcomers yet deep enough for veterans to devise inventive, high-level tactics.
