Rise of the machines.


UPDATE 2: The second hero DLC included in the <span class="bold">Season Pass</span> is out! Yoko Takano joins the fray — born to protect and serve (for a price) she will spearhead the revolution in private military services!


UPDATE: The first hero DLC included in the Season Pass is out! You can now do battle as Yana "Tesla" Radovich, a self-taught genius and talented hacker, who relies both on her wits and her crazy hardware.



<span class="bold">Hybrid Wars</span>, a top-down shooter starring hulking machines and plenty of explodable enemies, is now available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements.

In 2060, war is no longer a job for the meager foot soldier. Technology has given birth to a wide range of advanced killing machines, like tanks, robots, helicopters, and formidable mechs called Titans. As the Hybrid Wars break out, you'll find yourself commanding one such metallic monstrosity while roaming 8 expansive locations, filled with enemies to blow up and objectives to complete. Pick a hero, enter the belly of the beast you like best and equip it with the most efficient loadout. Quick reflexes and smart manoeuvres will go a long way but surviving consecutive waves of mechanized enemies and taking down towering bosses will take all the firepower you can muster.



Jump inside the cockpit of a futuristic war machine and join the <span class="bold">Hybrid Wars</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
If you want to gear up in full, pick up the <span class="bold">Deluxe Edition</span>, which includes an additional playable character, a digital art book, and the game's official soundtrack.
Two more hero characters are coming out in the following months, and you can recruit them now through the <span class="bold">Season Pass</span>.

So what is it? I can't help but notice that it's already been knocked down to three stars...

WG is selling this game with a Steam key on their shop bundled with premium currency... Get them to do a GOG key version!

Matewis: Man, what I wouldn't give for a new mech commander game that looks like this

IAmSinistar: Heard of this one?
Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot about it! Thanks for reminding me :) I just hope they don't mess it up. A nice and long campaign with varied missions and lots of mech customization like in the first two MCs would be a godsend.

Mmm maybe, video is utterly useless, anyway another YT vid with the helicopter did give me a desert strike retro vibe moment.....*sniff* happy days.

Usually I can predict from the release thread when a game's going to get slammed with negative ratings, but not this time. Why only three stars?

Go click on a 5-star rating to even it out a little.
Stars have no substance here of late.

Typically, I find user ratings and reviews to be worthless.* Good thing I don't get swayed by those. LPs and video impressions are the best way for me to make up my mind about a game if I'm not sure I absolutely want it.

*Unless it's made apparent by the majority whether a game is broken or not.

micktiegs_8: I just watched a video and the very first thing I saw was there were 3 playable characters with the two season pass girls greyed out.
You can pick the guy in the middle just fine. The one to the left has a note under him saying 'available only after login to multiplayer'. The one to the right says 'available after buying the DLC'.
So you only have one character?

Here is a video, the concern in question is at 1:25
https://youtu.be/h-cbHw6pRoU
I looked after it and can confirm that you only have one character at the present, when you're not buying the Deluxe Edition and don't log in multiplayer. If you buy the Deluxe Edition, you have the second character, right of the main character for offline play. Left of the main character it sais "only available if you log in multiplayer" and the far left and right characters will come soon, maybe as an update or DLC. I don't know.

Completely agree.
You'll know the ratings are BS when it's a day-1 game and it's been out for just a few hours. I'm kinda surprised people still believe games get rated by those who only purchase and actually play the game.

No thanks, I prefer to do things on merit.

That statement contradicts your concerned observation of 'it's already been knocked down to three stars'.

take a look at the scenario:
I clicked on 5 stars earlier just because the rating was so low. I've decided to change my mind now and click 1 star. Once my rating registers the game may be 2.5 stars instead of 3.
You say you prefer to do things on merit, yes? What if I didn't tell you I just changed my rating to 1 star? Your comment of 'oh no, it's only 3 stars' would still be in ignorance. It's not hard to see that a lot of the games lately are not receiving their rating based on merit, but receiving it based on a single 'just because' click.

Even if I like a game, I'm just going to click on that single star rating just because I can. Even If I don't own, have never looked at, a game that releases here I'll be doing the same. All the while, you'll be basing your opinion of a rating influenced by my single star of 'who gives a shit'.

rtcvb32: No description on the game page... this doesn't bode well, having to come here for a basic description of what the game is...

JudasIscariot: Are the words "Read more" not visible to you? Not being sarcastic, just want to check if they are not displaying for you for some reason as there is a description of the game just after you click on "Read more"....
IMHO it would be better if at least some part of the text was displayed first, and then there was a "Read more" link...

Agreed. Or even a link to the deluxe version and not the huge ad. The ad seems more useful to pop up when you are checking out and reminding you there is another version and an option to upgrade, vs what's there.

Premium currency for ingame use?

The image is a hyperlink to the Deluxe version and the first line even before you click "Read more" also has the Deluxe version linked.
