Skyhood's Innocent Six

Skyhood's Innocent Six is a war-themed training game in which you command six boys and girls as they train to become pilots, known as “machine handlers,” of the “Innocent machines.” You build a deck and use cards with different effects to teach them three stats—Piloting, Shooting and Support—as well as special skills. Choose one of three countries to begin; each has its own play style and scenario.

Training the pilots

Each turn, you receive training cards and use them to train abilities suited to each child. The cards differ across all three countries. The pilots’ stats and special skills also shape their actions in battle, reflecting how you trained them.

Battles

Choose a formation and assign pilots to it, then watch the battle play out automatically. Winning earns rewards that let you carry out more powerful training.

Country scenarios

Garden Country

Train all six pilots at once and complete objectives. Each has an age limit for serving as a machine handler; once that period ends, they retire. Bring in new children as pilots retire, gradually strengthening your team of six until you complete the final objective.

Gull Country

Train one pilot over a shorter period than in the other countries. Use the Skill Panel, a feature of this scenario, to improve the effectiveness of your cards. Complete the scenario by getting all six pilots through the assignment exam held at the end of the season.

Crimson Country

This route-selection mode has stronger roguelike elements. Train all six pilots at once and choose spaces along the route; some trigger events or battles that affect training in different ways. Win the battle against the enemy at the end of the route to complete the scenario.
