概要
MENACE is a brutal turn-based tactical RPG that casts you as the commander of a strike force in a lawless sci-fi frontier. Leading marines, mercenaries, and criminals aboard the TCRN Impetus, you must deploy infantry, tanks, and mechs to answer distress calls and survive a terrifying new alien threat.
ストーリー
Set in the isolated Wayback system, cut off from the Core Worlds, you are tasked with a pacification mission amidst warring pirates, corporations, and planetary governments. However, what begins as a police action quickly escalates when an unknown alien horror emerges, threatening to consume the entire system and your crew.
Gameplay
Experience a punishment-heavy tactical loop where combined arms warfare is essential. You must seamlessly coordinate flanking maneuvers with infantry, suppressive fire from heavy weapons, and the crushing firepower of tanks and mechs. The game features a strategic layer for operations and a tactical layer where every decision matters and death is permanent.
