KRUMB Games and publisher Judatone Studios are bringing Mekkablood: Quarry Assault to Steam, and it's a release that should be of interest to seasoned MechWarrior fans.
Set in the year 2082, Mekkablood places you in the role of "grizzled former trucker turned robojockey" Bill, who is involved in a dispute with TorxCorp over the mining rights to the valuable resource Fluxiam-7. The evil corp has not only stolen Bill's "treasured figurines" but also his girlfriend, Beth.
Mekkablood features "classic boomer shooter gameplay that's fast paced, and requires keys to move forward," as well as "balanced weapons" and loads of secrets to uncover.
If you like what you see, you can add Mekkablood to your Steam wishlist now.

Cockpit seems smart, looks pretty cool, hopefully comes to Switch at some point soon. Getting 1990s Battletech flashbacks Somerset Strikers and the Clans! Looks like it could be a sequel to the SNES 16 bit games.
This looks fun and the cup holder on the dash is a fantastic touch. But despite the mech trappings, the gameplay and overall vibes seem more Doom than Mechwarrior.
If I were to compare this to a classic mech game, it would probably be Shattered Steel, which traded some of Mechwarrior's slow and deliberate pacing for a more action-oriented approach. Although even that game had some sim elements to keep things feeling mechy.
I see they used Robin Williams as a reference for the pilot's arms.
@Hexapus This got a laugh out of me. Also found this on the Steam Page:
"AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
Dall-E 3 was used to help generate the textures and pixel art, no artist prompts were used, just generic terms. Suno was used for the music. Eleven labs was used for some of the voice work."
Might explain the oddness But seriously, I don't mind AI-generated content like this.
@AJB83 Wow I thought the music sounded weird even through my phone. I've had a lot of fun with Suno but it has a distinct echo to it.
Interesting idea for a game but that cockpit is way too big for normal monitors
It looks very interesting, hopefully the weapons have adequate feeling of power and satisfying sound effects.
Ugh. Tons of AI all over this. What a disappointment.
@AJB83 That makes sense. I thought maybe the pixel artist just really liked hairy arms.
