Simutronics Corp have announced that their upcoming multiplayer mech shooter, GALAHAD 3093, will get another beta week soon.
GALAHAD 3093 is a mech-based hero shooter where two teams of 16 players compete to capture and hold strategic points on a map. Players can customize their loadout by combining different classes of mechs- called Lances- with a Knight.
These Knights are characters loosely inspired by Arthurian myths, and have their own unique set of skills and abilities. Lances can be customized by equipping a variety of weapons, modules, and gadgets.
GALAHAD 3093 will be holding its 8th beta playtest starting on March 19th through the 27th. You can sign up via the Steam page, and the Steam Playtest feature currently in beta. You can find a trailer for the upcoming beta event below.
You can find the rundown (via Steam) below:
Lance Warfare
The Mech of 3093 is the Lance, a high-mobility heavy weapons platform Each Lance class has its pros and cons in battle, and are highly configurable. Arm your Lance for the tactical situation, and tune its features with upgrade modules.
- Be fast: Skim across the terrain or jump jet high above it.
- Strafe and shred up close with miniguns and shotguns.
- Blast enemies at range with beam cannons and plasma guns.
- Hammer base defenses with rockets, guided missiles and grenades.
- Shape the battlefield with deployable drones, tracking mines and spawn points.
Heroic Knights
Claim your legacy. Each Knight has taken the mantle of legendary Arthurian figures. A hero of the battlefield, each Knight brings special abilities; one passive, and one active that can dramatically impact your capabilities. Here are just a few examples:
- Wielding X-Calibur, Arthur can call down an orbital strike on his enemies.
- Gwen’s Royal Dome shields yourself and your allies from damage.
- Afterburn allows Kay’s skim jets to spread a trail of burning napalm.
- Perfect extreme maneuvers with Mordred’s Teleport ability.
Tactics and Teamwork
Fight as a team or die alone. Sure a lone wolf can do a fair bit of damage, but precision teamwork will carry the day. Capture points, destroy enemy generators, lay down defenses. But when the time comes, move with a purpose and capture the next base before the enemy can regroup.
- Prepare for large-scale vertical engagements on complex battlefields.
- Claim the high ground and pummel enemy positions.
- Explore and utilize each environment to gain a tactical edge.
- Skill alone won’t ensure victory; you need to work together as a team.
Perfect Your Build
Combine Knights and Lances with customizable loadouts.A Lance is already extremely flexible and configurable, but when combined with your roster of available Knights and their special abilities, there is no way your opponents will see what’s coming. Find the ideal build and unleash an onslaught they never expected.
- Balance weapon types or double-up guns akimbo for maximum firepower.
- Each weapon has unique strengths to discover, and awaits clever combinations.
- But don’t forget your deployable systems like gun turrets, proximity mines, drones and shield walls.
- Each Lance can be tuned from hundreds of different upgrade modules. Make it your own.
