Mechrunner

MechRunner is an endless action game in which you pilot the XP-41 mech against the forces of the O.S.O., moving forward through procedurally generated levels and switching between Tank and Robot modes. Its story begins with the 1908 Tunguska explosion in Siberia, which destroyed trees and wildlife across more than 800 square miles. In the mid-1940s, Russian secret-service scientists found an alien spacecraft at the site, and the KGB used its technology to establish the Division of Advanced Weaponry, or O.S.O.

The O.S.O. conflict

The alien power source began driving the people working with it mad. General Yuri Petrakoff, who led the O.S.O., launched a full-scale assault on Europe on April 14th, 1949. Engineer Jesper Teterev had left the program early, wary of what was happening. In hiding with his sister Isabel and niece Allison, he built the XP-41 with help from Allison, a budding engineer and pilot, believing it might one day be needed against the O.S.O.'s creations.

Run and fight

You keep moving forward while pursuing O.S.O. forces, using heat-seeking missiles, heavy-caliber bullets, laser cannons and concussion bombs. You can switch between Tank and Robot modes on the fly, and slice disabled enemies in cinematic fashion. Destructible buildings, debris-strewn streets, sliceable enemies and dynamic environmental obstacles shape the battles.

A run can last from a few seconds to several minutes. Better performance lets you play longer, collect more rewards and unlock more content. The game also includes civilian rescues, in which you escort people to safety.

Environments and enemies

Three distinct environments blend together, and you choose when to switch between them. Procedurally generated levels provide variety, while numerous enemy types use different tactics. Boss battles are also part of the game.

Weapons and unlocks

The game includes an extensive arsenal, customizations and power-ups. You can unlock skins, upgrades and achievements as you play.
