Gameplay
A supremely customizable, highly advanced technological marvel of destruction.

Locate prized items and gather Materials to Craft crippling Weapons, upgrade with ruinous hardware Components and make critical moment-to-moment tactical choices as you campaign through an unforgiving cityscape. A fast-paced, modern Action-RPG, World War Machine lets you adventure solo or party-up to survive the hordes of remorseless enemies.

Elevate your synthetic life form in this unique setting and uncover the mysteries behind the human extinction.

Engage in world spanning, connected gameplay solo, or with friends as you compete for bragging rights locally and globally. Seamlessly drop in and out of coop at any time as you bring about world changing events with the entire connected community.

Earn powerful offensive and defensive Functions (similar to 'spells' in fantasy-based Action-RPG's). Loot dozens of different Weapons and Components from your fallen enemies. Gather a multitude of different Materials and build Components, Weapons and Cosmetic Plating using advanced 3D printing technology. Equip a completely customized loadout of these Functions, Components and Weapons to suit your own unique playstyle and complement your group.

Increase your Power by defeating enemies, exploring the world, and completing Missions. Use your earned Power Points to configure and re-configure the Power Systems of your Machine on the fly to uncover your unique play style to assault the enemy in any way you choose.

Using a traditional keyboard and mouse setup, the W-A-S-D keys are used to navigate the environment, and the mouse is used to aim. (Controller support is a priority, and will be available when game is launched)

As such, aiming and movement are independent which allows for more dexterous core combat than traditional point-and-click Action-RPGs: more control over your Machine, and no more ‘miss-clicking’ into enemies.

You feel like having 6 different fire keys for total control? Done. You want to put all 6 Weapons on the same key for massive destructibility at the touch of a button? Done. It's really all up to you and how you want to adventure through the merciless lands of WWM.

World War Machine’s innovative Power System allows you to customize your Machine in any way you choose. By putting Power Points into the 5 different systems - Weapon, Operating, Protection, Sensor, and Mobility, you can craft a Machine which is both fearsome and effective for your group role. Perhaps the best part of this system is how easy it is to change your 'power allocation'. For example, re-allocate power points from Mobility to Protection in a matter of seconds and you’re back to fighting at a moment’s notice.
