About M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault & Exploration

M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault & Exploration is a strategy game focused on establishing and defending planetary colonies while competing for local resources. Players assume the role of a faction seeking to control a newly discovered world against rivals.

Its core systems involve gathering resources, constructing facilities, and engaging in tactical combat with a roster exceeding fifty units. These units operate across land, sea, and air, and many can be upgraded to enhance their capabilities.

A distinctive feature is the player's choice between a real-time or a turn-based structure, with adjustable turn lengths and game speed allowing for a challenging or a more relaxed experience. The game provides a tutorial campaign, a full narrative campaign, and the capacity to generate custom scenarios. Eight different factions are available, each detailed in the accompanying fiction.
