Calling all patriots! We need you on the front lines! Chronospace is excited to reveal War Mechanic, a unique first-person sim set in a dieselpunk world making its way to PC in 2025. Players will take on the role of a military base manager and mechanic in an alternate reality setting where World War II escalated into an open conflict with the Soviet Union and the rest of the free world. Featuring strategy elements, resource management, base building and defense alongside exploration and a fully fleshed-out narrative, War Mechanic comes to life with retro-inspired aesthetics, humor, and satire. Check out the reveal trailer below:
World War II has evolved into a prolonged conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States as both sides focus on the development of robotics and acquiring Nazi technology. Soviet sabotage causes the detonation of atomic charges at Los Alamos, killing the president, vice president, cabinet members, and key Manhattan Project scientists. General Patton wins the accelerated presidential election and declares war on the USSR.
The American army has taken a bold step to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the army and turn the tables — privatizing the war! Capitalism is not only the realm of Wall Street traders but also a vital part of the success on the battlefields of Europe. As a brilliant manager and military mechanic, you must run a newly acquired base that looks more like a relic than an army fort.
Your mission? Rebuild the base from ruins, transform it into a thriving war machine, and lead the US Army to victory. Embrace the retro-futuristic setting while automating your work with robots, explore the lands around you in your combat vehicle, survive, and conquer other bases to expand your territory and dominance. All on your terms and according to free market principles, of course
