Wolfstride is part turn-based tactical RPG and part slice-of-life. It sees the player as Dominque, a former Yakuza who manages a team for partaking in giant Mech battles in Rain City (with Knife Leopard being the pilot and Duque the mechanic). Using better upgrades, repairs and new skills are key to improving the Mech but you also need money for everything.

So it’s a quick trip through Rain City, meeting different characters and building relationships to net offers for odd jobs. The combat itself involves choosing the right moves to deal damage, and the sleek monochromatic visuals provide an anime-esque feel to the action. Stay tuned for more details when Wolfstride launches in the coming weeks.

The story sees an ex-Yakuza member, grizzled mechanic and rookie pilot working to fight in the Ultimate Mech Tournament. You build your mech from scratch, obtaining new moves and weapons while taking on other mechs in battle. Along with targeting different body parts, players can also use movement points to avoid incoming hits.

On top of the battles, players can venture into the metropolis to obtain various offers (one involved cycling) and forge new relationships. The payout from various odd jobs will be necessary to keep your mech in pristine condition and acquire upgrades. Wolfstride is slated to release for PC via Steam with a demo coming on June 16th.
