You have the possibility to customize or create new sets of engine components components and other characteristics to have units very specific for each mission. Even in some mission you have the bonus of throwing a nuclear device. The game has an encyclopedia very rich in information on the transformation of the universe, besides having a very well-nourished truth of the main and most known mech used. There is good kinetics but it is limited to some events, in the intro and final, a particularity that places it as one of the best combat simulators is the great amount of details in use to operate the mech possibility to use and customize joystick controls and The use of VR glasses available at the time, including the use of feedback for Microsoft devices. Another interesting feature is the absence of human characters throughout the game since it focuses only on the machines and you will not see any interaction or images of human figures. The capacity of online games was under development and you could have missions online with other players via modem or null cable besides LAN. The musical background was quite good and provided a very good immersion experience for the time. by Raravia (Hugo)
