Wolfstride - Turn-based Mech RPG

@Gematsu Wolfstride is a turn-based mech RPG announced for PC. Screenshots at the link.

Live the life of an aspiring Mech combat pilot in a world caught between the last gasps of a simpler time and the shimmering metal of a sprawling metropolis. Use skills and weapons to defeat other mechs in turn-based tactical combat. Make your way to the top by managing repairs, upgrading weapons, and learning new skills. Get to know the locals and build relationships to earn money doing odd jobs for them. Whatever it takes to win the Ultimate Mech Tournament.

Key Features

• Fight - Battle opponents in a classic turn-based combat system. Use Movement Points to outmaneuver opponents. Spend action points to deliver precision strikes and crushing blows. Hone your piloting abilities to dominate the battlefield.
• Manage - Keep your mech in top fighting shape and improve its capabilities in the hanger. Get in there and manually fix battle scars between fights. Add and upgrade weapons and skills to match your fighting style. Budget carefully, upgrades cost money you must earn taking odd jobs around town.
• Live - Explore Rain city, one of the last remnants of the old world. Decide where to visit and when. Meet the residents, learn their relationships, and build friendships to get job offers. As a former Yakuza, you know all about doing dirty work, like washing cats.

Thanks Farflame!

More information.

"Mech" and "RPG" in the same sentence. They keep trying this thing, I'm yet to see it succeed.

Well Japan asks to have a word with you as they succeeded with that formula.

1. Front Mission Games
2. MS Saga: A New Dawn
3. Super Robot Taisen Games
4. Xenosaga
5. Xenogears
6. Xenoblade Chronicles Games

All JRPGs because the only Western one I can think of is Battle Tech.

Front Mission were fun tactical combat games, not RPGs. I know, to most people they are RPGs because you can upgrade your robots and there's railroaded unidirectional scripted dialog in between battles. To me that's a story-driven game, not a RPG, the same way when I watch a movie, I don't tell my friends "I'm gonna watch a RPG".

Some of the Xeno games were good, but also blown out of proportion by a certain generation that was far too much into anime. Though I would still count them as a good games, indeed.

However, all those games are ancient and plagued with rosy retrospection. In the last decade every time you see "mech" and "RPG" in a same sentence, it's to be met with the most deep and utter… indifference. The only modern Front Mission game was a joke, and Battletech was supposed to be the second coming of mech RPGs, just to be yet another piece of forgettable crap. I'm not sure if there are good mech RPGs that haven't hit the western market in the last decade, but I couldn't care about this, since they haven't reached me, they might as well exist in another dimension or universe and it would make the same difference.

I'd like to be wrong, but that will only happen if Wolfstride is about one hundred and seventeen times better than it looks to be. Rather unlikely.

Almost forgot about another game called Phantom Brigade.

Yes it's another hybrid but I doubt a pure western Mech RPG will ever be made.

Amazing manga trailer and SHTty pixel graphics at the end. I was wondering what the hell this game was about.. They don't have any gameplay.

"Ring of Red" is also pretty nice on the PS2. Turn based on the map, and something special in real time in the battles.

really, WTF

first trump. now this
