Grit and Valor – 1949 – Console Ports

IT’S 1949; WORLD WAR II RAGES ON

Europe is on its knees. Deadly Axis Mechs patrol the landscape, intimidating the populace and flushing out rebels. Survivors are few, but have regrouped under the new flag of The Resistance.

You are the free world’s last hope. Your deadly mission; deliver a devastating EMP weapon into heart of enemy territory to turn the tide of the war.

KEY FEATURES

Deploy your Mech Squad and command them in real time to fend off waves of enemies.  Each new battlefield presents a new challenge with unique combinations of adversaries and terrain. Think fast to use higher ground and cover, exploit enemy weaknesses, and utilise tactical advantages to withstand the assault, while defending your Command Vehicle.

Your tactics may be sound, but if you reach the end of your run, you’ll need to make one last stand against a menacing Axis General. These end of Region boss battles will have you facing overwhelming odds, wave upon wave of elite enemies, new hazards, and Kaiju-sized Boss Mechs.

If your Command Vehicle is destroyed, your Mission is over. Regroup at the Resistance Base, rebuild and upgrade your squad, and redeploy!

The Scrap and Valor you earn in the field can be used to upgrade Mechs and level up Pilot abilities. But prepare for the unexpected; the battlefields, enemies you face, and any rewards you receive, will never be the same twice.

Take a stand, liberate Europe and free the world. Make this your finest hour!

• UI/UX Mapping: We redesigned the mouse-and-keyboard grid movement, unit pathfinding, and active-pause tactical menus to map intuitively onto standard console gamepads. 
• Performance Optimization: We rebuilt and optimized the engine’s asset handling so the game’s highly detailed dieselpunk mechs and destructible, wave-based maps would run smoothly at a stable framerate on lower-power console hardware, specifically the original Nintendo Switch. 
• Console Quality Assurance: In tandem with external functional testing teams, BKOM handled the certification engineering needed to clear strict platform requirements for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo marketplaces.
