Mechabellum has received its 2.0 overhaul, adding the Star Expedition mode, a new Centurion mech, more tactical equipment and a free edition for newcomers. The update gives the auto-battler a broader set of ways to play while retaining its focus on deploying armies and managing battlefield decisions.
A slower expedition mode
Star Expedition is designed for solo play or two-player co-op. Each commander controls an independent force on a shared battlefield, and both players coordinate their positioning and tactics against the enemy. Its asynchronous battles have no round timer, allowing deployments and decisions to be made without the pressure of a live countdown.
Randomized runs
The mode varies each expedition through changing units, technology upgrades, reinforcements and player mirrors. Runs also provide expedition rewards that can influence later attempts. Global, regional and friends-only leaderboards give players several ways to compare results, although the source does not describe the exact scoring system.
More battlefield options
Version 2.0 also adds Centurion, described as a versatile new mech, alongside additional Reinforcement Cards, Techs and Specialists. These additions expand the choices available during battles rather than changing the game's core auto-battler format.
Free entry point
The Mechabellum Free Edition is intended as an introduction to the game, but the report does not specify which content or features it excludes. The complete game is reported to be 40% off through October 1. On Linux, the game is reported to work with Proton 11; the source does not provide further platform or system details.
