Mechabellum: NEW Strategy Auto Battler Game! 

Some general things/Tips Lowko did not go over. 10:10 When choosing your random cards, *your opponent gets the same random cards as you do* . This is important for strategy, but especially so when you get unit cards or active ability cards. 17:00 The control towers are not only there to debuff you If they get killed. The Right control tower themselves have permanent upgrades that give your whole army upgrades, or spells/active abilities to use. ( one of them is the ability to once per turn sell units for 100% refund cost ) And the Left one has 1 turn of temporary buffs. The temporary buffs are great for the mid-end game to finish out games, but it is an economic loss in the long term. 24:30 Items can only be reused when you sell the unit you give it too. So selling a weak unit with an item to give it to a stronger unit is something you can/should do. 29:30 It is generally a bad idea to unlock tech before round 3 or 4. Getting more units especially sacrificial units AKA "chaff units" like Fangs or Crawlsers who are cheap and expendable is better in the long run most of the time. Unlocking a tech shows the opponent you want to invest in them and they can start countering them earlier. *Especially for storm callers who are super easy to counter* Lowko only showed off the missile, but there is an anti-missile turret and a force field that is a great counter to "spells" or ability cards. Stormcallers get counted by fast-moving units like crawlers, but there are also tech upgrades and the freely unlocked anti-missile turret that counters them for only 100 resources. ( Granted the anti-missile turret for 100 resources can die and does not respawn if it does ) 31:00 You can only deploy 2 units per round.....UNLESS you pay 50 resources in the left control towers which have 1 turn buffs. ( there is also a card that gives you +1 deployments for every round ) The 1-turn buffs include : buying an extra unit. buying level 2 units ( the price increase for all units is also increased by 50% which is the level upp cost ) Faster speed on all your units for 1 turn. Longer range for all units for 1 turn. 31:20 Levelling a unit costs 50% of the deployment cost, but gives 100% of its stats per level. It is usually a bad idea to upgrade Crawlsers and Fangs because doing so gives them more experience for the opponent's units level when killed. And they are very weak individual units to begin with. ( you are usually better off getting tech upgrades for ALL crawlers then upgrading their levels even if its cheap )

Lowko branching out to other games like the old days, after almost a decade? Hell yes! I miss when you player other games such as Stardew Valley and your old City Skylines playthrough, both of which I was introduced to because of your videos. Seeing this video is a very welcome suprise.

now we need a harstem vs lowko next

I really like the new 4-player free-for-all gamemode. 4 players surrounding an AI player, you gain extra supply for the next round based on damage dealt, and instead of reducing everyone else's score to 0, you win by gaining score depending on how much you have left after everything else is destroyed, and the leading player will have gigantic units targeting them to sort of even the odds

mechabellum became the most important discovery for me a year ago; it is a new level of strategic and tactical confrontation of minds.

I'm so glad that this game is getting the attention it deserves! I've been playing for a long time and would be happy to help you if you'd like... I'm not the best, but I'm top 100 at least

These mechabellum videos by harstem, winter and lowko are the first time a sponsorship has actually made ve buy something, its quite fun

fun game, played it for about 20 hrs since getting it last week

been playing this for a year.... please do whatever you can to promote this. I love this game.

It's great you have so many fangs, but a couple of arclites would have annihilated everything the enemy started with in your first and second rounds. Every game you want to start with a balance of 4 types of units - Chaff (fangs, crawlers) - Area (Arclites, Mustangs... later vulcans) - Single unit (Pheonix, marksman, steel balls, later melting point) - Ranged damage (Stormcaller, scorpion) - often get these round 2. Also, always keep a gap of 3 squares between units on the front line, it prevents sentinel missiles killing more than one unit. Crawlers are stronger into mustangs than fangs are. Also, with storms you want something to smush into the crawlers asap and force them to stand still under the missiles. So a row of 3 crawlers right at the front of your board would have make the stormcallers much more effective and helped you a lot. When you place your fangs in front of the vulcan, think about where the enemy crawlers are going to go - into the fangs. So help your vulcan by putting the fangs vertically directly in front of it. Bring the enemy crawlers directly into a nice narrow death-zone. When I get sabertooth tanks 19:00 I always get the anti-missile upgrade which would have blocked your stormcallers from hurting them. With that upgrade the tanks might have killed everything else you have. You had no single-target damage at this point (other than stormcallers) Missile strike is ideal against light targets, especially aircraft (which cannot be protected). The correct target for your missile was probably the level 2 mustangs which would have all died and which deal huge damage. Always lead the shot slightly because it takes a while to arrive. It sucks that there is no undo button for putting damage +200% on the fangs. Damage on the vulcan was the right choice. However you can get a unit-sell ability from the right tower, sell the fangs and get the damage buff back that way. Vulcan also has an unlockable damage buff. Range is a good choice on the vulcan too. +200% damage is powerful into rapid-fire low-damage units like mustangs, vulcans, typhoons or wraiths. Buying pheonix production on your war factory is how it gets anti-air. Phenoix shields (like fang shields) make them much stronger against marksmen. The armor upgrade on the arclites would have basically made them invunerable to mustangs or crawlers, as their damage is too low (

Love this game. It would be great to see you play it more. With stuff like this it’s more fun to watch you play than to watch a pro play

You should do 1v1 with Harstem , that would be epic.

I love this game ! Thanks for the vid Lowko !

The game is great - it is an improvement over sc2 community made tower defences. However recent updates downgraded the visuals of the game. But still I am happy that the game is frequently receiving feature updates. :)

would love to see more of this

Desert strike from SC2 enchanced edition :D hope there will be more "Races" to play. Looks good so far.

Love it, I got this game last year after watching Day9, I think casting some high level matches would be very interesting if you can get replays

Thanks Lowko. This game is simply awsome and the devs are just great. I'm so glad they asked you guys to advertise the game and you all did an awsome job. The number of players has doubled since last patch.

TY Lowko. I had no idea this game existed. Looks amazing gonna get it for sure.

6:44 Thinking of getting this... reminding me of total war positioning so far.

Loved the frostpunk vid series. Happy to see how this one goes

Harstem also covered this but I can tell you put a lot more effort into yours and learning the game etc so it sells the game and explains it a lot better. Due to this I added it to my wishlist since it's going to be free to play in a year and I already have enough games to play.

AMAZING VIDEO WOW (yes,i didnt watch it yet)

If this game has pvp with co-op where you can can team up with a few players vs another team it will be amazing

the tripod with laser arms unit is a stolen asset I imagine. 'we shall see'

This game looks dope. Yeah I like this 👍🏻 Perhaps add different maps with certain terrain advantages like height, natural barriers, etc, slow and fast areas, fog of war, etc

Lowko- you're playing something other than SC2 AI Bot matches now? Good to see it, & this game looks awesome!

this game is oddly addicting, i enjoy it

The Sledgehammer tank looks exactly like hammer tank from Red Alert 3

I've been testing this game for the dev for 4 Years! Huge similarities with sc2! ffa new mode is wild

You can sell the units to get your item back... it a reserche in one of your's tower

to anyone new , click on your buildings , they have a ton of abilities

Interesting idea.

Best game this year, love to see more on your channel. And btw du kannst gerne auch mal Videos auf Deutsch kommentieren ;)

this game's ad starting showing on my facebook feed, i added it to steam wishlist but hesitate to buy it. Im surprised lowko is now playing it...guess its actually legit game.

So this is like Blood Tournament and Dota Autochess.

Just got this game. Learning against AI still but it is fun.

i like this game alot its my favorite auto battler

This game looks nice.

This is one of the best games, you made a good choice!!

Love this game

oh yes!

Cool game would like to see a pvp game

Lowko you should try Warpips

Game is good, wuujoz plays this

Sorry maatje, maar die mechabellum heeft ervoor gezorgd dat ik even ben afgeweken van je kanaal. En ben nu even bij "cobrak" aant kijken naar zijn replays. (Volgens mij heeft hij inspiratie opgedaan bij jou, hij doet me een beetje aan jou denken in zijn taalgebruik😅) Ik vind dit echt een vet spel! No worries, ik kom altijd terug 😁✌️

does the game have factions?

Do a video of Solium Infernum, its an awesome strategy set in hell...

this is basically star wars lego battler and that marvel card game .. imo cool units .. better if they put more time into making the game and do a rts instead of a on rails shooter" .. ya this is the on rails shooter of FPS games , but for RTS games .. less game productiontime = medicore game

Gonna take a lot to topple SC2 😐😐

Costs 200 ... spend 200 on this .... Clearly states 400 in bold orange lettering =)) Good intro to this with explanations !

pog

bro needs the money from this sponsor, so lets watch it haha

How to understand good game or bad? Well, if Hard AI is weaker than Easy AI game cant be good. This means that developer himself does not understand how game works.

To be fair you cant really say "new game" if its out for a year

This looks like a mobile game.

FIRST RAAAAAAAAAAA

😶‍🌫️

Again, only windows based game... 😭 At least I didn't watched the all video before checking this time

Ew, Brother, Ew! What's That?

Play direct strike

This is not strategic, it’s tactical.

Is this a pay to win game?

hardly new, pretty sure ur just late lol

The end of lowko. Sc2 dying. He is trying to find new games. But no games are interesting enough to watch. Will miss u.

"New"

auto battle sponsor.. yeah no thanks

why r the specialists women? is this game woke?
