It's the end of the world. Nuclear winter has taken hold of the planet. All seems lost. Except that your settlement has the knowledge to build a terraformer to fix the planet. The only thing is they need ACU parts and resources to do this. But it's no cake-walk. Humanity is scattered around and everyone is at odds with eachother, clinging to the little resources they have. And your settlement only has one mech, so good luck. You're going to have to take what's needed to save the planet by force.

I led off with the setting because it's just awesome. The soundtrack and the ambience in the game reflects the above stark reality. It feels lonely with quick bursts of adrenaline when fights happen. And the fights are deadly. You need to be very careful when fighting other mechs and raiding bases to not lose valuable equipment or die.

The ambience and difficulty are great! At $3, it's a great value for such a niche experience.

If you were to take a face paced floaty FPS and boil it down to the fundamentals of movement, this is what you'd get. Shootmania is a collection of very simple mechanics that make the game easy to learn, but hard to master. There's strong community tools for customization of the game (scripting for game modes). The only thing holding it back is a lack of a strong player base outside of France, which I hope changes in the coming year.
