About the game
In Metropolis Gear: Tactical City-Building Action, players build a fully destructible, tile-based city out of procedurally generated buildings and defend it in turn-based, tactical battles using their fleet of giant robots. Enemies drop onto the island atop new terrain, expanding the island but bringing additional dangers. Robots are upgraded and the city is expanded between rounds of combat.
Features:
Tile-based, fully destructible, turn-based combat. All attacks have an area-of-effect, emphasizing unit positioning and efficient city layouts.
