ABOUT ACE STRATEGY: MECHA NOVA
A long time ago, in a star sector far, far away…the frontier was quiet. Then the pirates came.
In the Z2 star sector, during the ADA1070 era, the peace of the outer systems has been shattered by a ruthless interstellar pirate invasion. You are a space postman, not a soldier, not a hero even…thrust into the chaos, piloting a roster of transformable combat mechs against enemies who have no interest in your survival. But the deeper you push into the conflict, the more you realize: the war is only the surface. Behind the mech technology that powers this age lies a buried secret, that is one that traces back to the very pioneers who first mapped the galaxy.
The reality is…every run brings you closer to the truth. Every battle is a step into the unknown.
FEATURES TO EXPECT
Command ace mechs and combat drones across a 3x3 tactical grid: position, outmaneuver, and destroy
Master a proprietary Direction Ability and Looping System, combining drones, chips, and pilot skills into strategies your enemies won't see coming
Choose from three distinct mechs at launch: the original WhiteDwarf, plus two all-new machines — TM31R Caracal and ACE-003 Orion — each with a completely different combat identity
Defeat elite bosses and recruit them as your wingmen, then turn your greatest threats into your most powerful allies
Battle through a full 6-floor campaign (expanded from the demo's 4), facing a gauntlet of increasingly dangerous and varied enemies
Sometimes, the smartest move is no move at all…certain god-tier encounters can be won without firing a single shot
Save your deck after a PVE run and take it into cross-platform PVP against players worldwide
Think the game's too easy? Custom mode will introduce you to a wall of enemy laser fire. Good luck.
FROM THE DEVELOPERS
This is the first shipped title for most of our team. We've been through the painful lows of rebuilding the game from scratch after early feedback tore it apart, navigating team changes, and real moments of wanting to quit. What kept us going was stubbornness, creative conviction, and a shared belief that the game could be something special. It's not perfect yet. But we're proud of what it is and we'll keep making it better.
