Duke Revier's Grand Game Emporium

 Video:  Fei Destroys His Village The robot has some sort of mechanism for detecting its current occupant. It identifies Fei as an inexperienced "Lamb" pilot, and sets the controls to Easy mode! While amusing, the presence of difficulty modifiers in a combat robot's console seems quite impractical. Why wouldn't you want your war robot to be easy to handle? In any case, Fei is thrust into robot combat immediately afterwards. Robot combat is largely similar to character combat, with some key differences: 1. There are no items to heal robots, seeing as they're made of metal, not flesh and bone. 2. Robots need to build up attack levels by attacking before being able to execute combos. Consider it as their way of "warming" themselves up. 3. Speaking of which, every attack uses up fuel, a highly limited resource that can only be feasibly recharged at certain refueling robots/stations. So you need to be more careful with what attacks you throw out, or even what...

For whatever reason, he doesn't live in the village itself, but rather atop a hill accessible only through a winding path. Said path is infested with hobgoblins and wolves, thus serving as our first dungeon! Hobgoblins are the strange, bouncy creatures featured in this screenshot, and are the more dangerous of the two foes, boasting a fairly powerful HP draining attack. Wolves, on the other hand, have not much going for them except for a multihit attack. Neither foe is particularly hard, and outside of the HP draining move, all of their attacks do single digit damage to Fei. Let's talk combat mechanics. Broadly speaking, characters fight by selecting one of three types of attacks. Each attack makes some tradeoffs between raw power and accuracy, with the attack types ranging from a low power...

 Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRF3nYernuM We immediately cut to a text crawl talking about two kingdoms that have warred for centuries. Long story short, some archeological organization, called "Ethos", enabled them to escalate their battles by digging and repairing giant ancient robots for use in combat. Yep. Lol. Kislev had the upper hand because it got better robots, but a mysterious mercenary group, Gebler, joined the Avehian side and reversed the balance of power. Then, Aveh got emboldened enough to start invading and taking Kislev territory. With that backdrop, we cut to our next location for the story, a peaceful, idyllic...border village. It suffers the fate all border villages eventually suffer, getting set on fire by the enemy forces. We cut to a young man in a dark robot, Fei, kung fuing the enemy robots...or attempting to, at any rate. A man dressed in green, Citan, yells at him to stop fighting. Fei doesn't listen, kicking down the enemy robot agai...
