Fire At Will: Space combat, mech battler War Tech Fighters launches today

Mech fans across the galaxy, rejoice: Drakkar Dev and Green Man Gaming are both excited to bring War Tech Fighters to full launch on Steam today.

War Tech Fighters challenges players to take on the deadliest weapons ever built - the War Techs. Reaching across the galaxy, players must fight to defend the rebel colonies of Hebos and Ares against the Zatros Empire - the malevolent force behind the War Techs, intent on spreading their malignant influence across the cosmos.

Bringing an end to their destructive advance is a case of taking on the War Techs - giant mechs that combine cold precision and state of the art technology - out amongst the stars, using a combination of close combat and long-range firefights to engage in massive, manic, and marvellous battles where only the most cunning and canny of pilots will survive.

“As anyone who experienced War Tech Fighters in Early Access will know, we’ve looked to bring together the best elements from Japanese Anime and Hollywood Blockbusters into one explosive package,” says Manlio Greco, CEO of Drakkar Dev.

“The sheer scale of the space battles, with players switching rapidly between ranged and close combat, is incredible to watch. Balancing between the two approaches creates incredible variety in gameplay, as does the amount of time gamers spend customising their mechs to represent their own inimitable style.”
