So what is the game about? Mechanized is a Tactical Strategy game that will pit players against teams of Robots in competition to win the super-duper Robotic Championship.
The player will be able to build their Robots from a variety of parts including Weapons, Armor, and Special Upgrades. With their Robot team constructed, player will enter the arena to fight against other Robot teams in his division.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, you will need to wait a few months to play it. Until then, you can keep up with the latest news from Mechanized by following GorgonGames at Twitter or Facebook.
