Indie gem here.
Design and program autonomous bots, then decide which unit to deploy and when, all that while an AI learns your moves, to act as your agent in asynchronous PvP! (the"Echoes").
Each arena comes with condition modifiers that will push you to use different strategies and unit sets.
The game is perfect for quick gaming sessions, since matches are fast-paced (timer 5 minutes simulation time) and with asynchronous PvP you will never have to wait for an opponent. By the way, for anyone looking to skip the campaign and jump right into PvP, it is possible: "Freeplay" inside campaign is PvP, just without ranking information, and does not need unlocking.
..And the depth: While unit design is reminiscent of Warzone 2100, the programming reminds more of Gladiabots, but in a more accessible fashion. After trying out combinations of weapons, utilities, bodies (5 levels from light hover to heavy tank) and sizes (another 5 levels from swarm to titan), remove the easy mode and dive into bot programming to refine behaviour as you wish: control specific hot spots and deny resources? regroup for a big push? Glide around for surprise attacks?
...and the soundtrack.
So, come and train your echoes..
