Gah you beat me to it. Also don't forget Industries of Titan:

Whoa.
This is released in early access...on Epic. Looks interesting. I'll probably splurge before day's end.

Any info on this gratefully recieved
Damn, multiple necro-threads on games I had totally forgotten about in one day, as I assemble my new rig (online for purchase).
My wallet squeals like a pig.

Ah. So you have chosen death, then? I mean Falcon. 8) ;D
ACTUALLY...was about to post a new thread - just built a Talon online, and yesterday built an Alienware Aurora. Both come out to a pretty penny for the builds I want - more than I have ever spent on a rig. Gimme one second to start that thread - I need the opinions of peeps here before I spend that kind of money.
Great potential here. I love the concept. Your homeland has been invaded and you lead a squad of resistance fighters...in giant mechs! It's like Red Dawn with giant robots! WOLVERINES!!!!
The graphics are really nice and the terrain/buildings are destructible. They really take a pounding in battle. I'm still getting used to it, but the "gimmick" in this title is some advanced technology in your mechs that lets your team see into the immediate future. Each turn is played out in a pulse of time and while you are planning your strategy, you can see how each unit is going to move at any moment in the pulse. You view this by scrolling through a time-line. With being able to see where the enemy is going to move in each pulse, you can plan where to move and what offensive or defensive actions to take and when best to take them. It's pretty cool how you plot different actions on the timeline and then can adjust on the fly. It's a very unique mechanic. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it.
There is also a strategic layer, where you get move around the map, discover locations and supplies, retake objectives from the enemy, etc.
It's very early in development, but this one is definitely looking good and off to a positive start.

Thanks for that. Looks like I am buying something today ....
Played a little more this morning. Wow. The tactical combat is really fantastic. Very challenging and exciting. I didn't think I was going to really like the time mechanic, but I actually love it. It provides for as a surprisingly deep tactical/strategic experience.
Are the buildings/environment destructible? I've looked through some videos and see some building damage in some and not others?

Yes. I mentioned that above. Highly destructible and this factors into the strategy in a major way.

I think it would be justifiable to hold off for now being that it is very early access. However, it is extremely polished and I am really enjoying it. There is one battle that I keep trying to win as efficiently as possible, but I keep taking unacceptably heavy damage on my 2 precious mechs. As a result, I keep replaying it to get a better result. It's that enjoyable. Also, every time I replay it, the starting locations of the initial forces is randomized, as is the composition of the enemy group. This definitely helps keep it interesting too.

You cant say to hold off then follow it up by saying how great and enjoyable it is:)
I am sure it will make it into my library at some point....
Totally hooked now. I replayed that battle and finally got a decisive victory. So God damn rewarding. My two mechs making a stand against 3 mechs and 2 heavy tanks, using time to our advantage to bob and weave through buildings to maximize cover, surprise and firepower. All around awesomeness.
My brain latched onto "Red Dawn with GIANT WOLVERINES!!", and now I kind of want that game.
Too.
