Hey Pilots!

I’m Ernani, Lead Designer and Producer at Turtle Juice and I’m excited to finally introduce our latest game - MECHBORN. We’re a 23-person Brazilian indie team spread across the country, from Bahia to São Paulo, but we’re all united by the same goal: bringing MECHBORN to life! MECHBORN is a roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Greek mythology and classic ’90s mech anime. It’s set in a near future where Earth and its colonies are under siege by a massive Kaiju invasion. You’ll fight your way across three dangerous continents, facing everything from swarming lesser Kaiju to towering, mech-crushing elites.

You’ll customize powerful mechs by swapping parts that shape your deck and playstyle, while pilots bring unique skills that charge as you play cards. Combat uses a 'Conveyor-Belt System'instead of a normal hand, making positioning and timing just as important as damage. Between battles, exploration is fully open; choose your own path through changing events, factions and encounters that make every run feel fresh and replayable.

Check out our Announcement Trailer below to see MECHBORN in action and get a first glimpse at the mechs, pilots and Kaiju you’ll see in game!

We’re aiming to launch MECHBORN later this year, with the full game featuring:

  • 3 unique mechs

  • 12 pilots with distinct skills

  • 9 Kaiju bosses and 50+ enemy types

  • 400+ cards

  • 3 continents, 60 events, 150+ Infusers and more…
