Features

Planned

More weapons, more maps, more chaos.

Reshape the earth

The ground is yours to shape. Dig it away, pile it up and build the battlefield you want.

A mech beside a stone wall aims a bright beam at the ground, blasting dirt loose from a grassy hillside A mech stands on a grassy hilltop next to a curved arm of freshly placed dirt reaching up toward a stone ledge
A mech tunnels up through brown earth beside a stone wall, a digging beam lighting the shaft above it, with a large dark cavern carved out to its right
Too well defended from above? Dig in from below and surprise them.

Build and defend

Place turrets, shield projectors and generators to hold your ground and protect your team.

A radial build menu next to a mech with the options Turret, Shield Projector and Generator, and a turret already placed on the ground A mech standing between a generator, a shield projector and a turret, with a blue energy dome covering the base

Your own loadout

Combine your loadout and find the kit that works for you. Choose a light, medium or heavy mech, then fit armor, weapons and modules within your weight capacity. Save up to five presets.

The inventory screen with five mech presets and a weapon list open, showing digger, dirt launcher, grenade launcher, gatling gun, rocket launcher, railgun and constructor, each with a weight in tons

Download and play

You download a small launcher with the game inside. Every time you start it, the launcher checks for a new version, installs it and then starts the game, so you only have to download once.

Windows

  1. Unzip it anywhere.
  2. Start RumbleMechsLauncher.exe.
  3. Pick a server from the list and play.

Windows may warn that the program is from an unknown publisher, since it isn't signed. Choose More info and then Run anyway.
