AS OF MARCH 11

STORY LOG LINES:

After a devastating betrayal, a country boy who once dreamed of becoming a royal

mechateer becomes the royal family’s adversary with the help of the infamous 3 musketeers.

A brash mech nerd joins the airheaded 3 mechateers, only to find he has to revive their camaraderie in order to stop the evil Cardinal Richy’s terrible legions from taking over the city.

Dart, an awkward and clumsy mechanic prodigy from the country, teams up with the charismatic 3 mechateers to discover the truth of his father's end, while on the group's journey, they discover a hideous secret that could bring down the whole kingdom.

GAME PLAY LOG LINES:

This swashbuckling navigation game will not only require the player to man a mech

to combat mass waves of enemies and venture on foot, but to form a strong sense of

comradery between the musketeer team

Imagine a 4-player cooperative adventure game where players barrel clumsily through the city in reckless machines, and must occasionally ditch the safety of their mech for more zippy and precise sword fighting.
