Why We Think MechAssault: Phantom War Is Worth a Second Look |
Ó
But is it worth checking out? Well, we know that fans want their science fiction and fantasy games to have good stories (and be lots of fun), and the makers of MA:PW spent a lot of time making sure they got the BattleMech details down right (if you don't believe us, you can check out the screenshots and the trailer).
First, let's look at the messy universe where you take out your BattleMech and go Kaboom!Zap!Destroy! all over the place.
The story is set in the year 3134. Planets use HPGs (Hyperpulse Generators) to communicate across the vast distances of space. Then the HPGs mysteriously stop working. What happens when planets can no longer communicate with each other? A big mess, that's what. Chaos. (Turn on the scary dramatic music.) A Dark Age. (Make the dramatic music louder.) The Phantom War. (Dah dah dum!)
Oh. One last thing. If you're left-handed there's a feature for you to swap the controls so you can set up the buttons and stylus for left-handed play.
Ok. That wasn't the last thing. Just had to say that many of our faithful readers here at QJ are pretty young, so maybe you don't know that mech robots have been around since the early 1980's. This is a huge science fiction universe that has sold millions of video games, tabletop games, books, figures, and collectibles (I like their stickers).
