Game Description
Step inside some Heavy Armor and command your own mech in a war where low-tech weapons pack the highest amount of firepower. Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is set in a war-torn future that's been stripped of semiconductors. Without weapons that use electricity, the war will be won by the machine you command: the Vertical Tank. Use a combination of controller-based and Kinect motion controls to pilot your mech, blast your enemies, and more on a mission that begins on U.S. soil and takes you across the world. Coordinate maneuvers with your in-game AI crew or team up with friends online as you destroy enemies, dominate maps, and earn upgrades for your Vertical Tank.
