Check out the demo for MetalMercs with retro real-time tactical mech squad action

MetalMercs could be a good one for those of you who love customizable mech combat action, and this time it's not turn-based it's actually real-time. The simplistic retro visuals will be an acquired taste though I think on this one but it seems like the gameplay will make up for it.

"Destroy. Salvage. Repair. Upgrade. PROFIT! MetalMercs offers a real-time tactical experience where you command your own mercenary outfit of mechs and mercs and adventure through randomly generated missions filled with rewards, glory, and bitter defeat."

It does use some AI generation though, which the developer notes includes "This game currently uses some stand-in images created via generative AI. This includes some background screens, fluff images, and pilot portraits. All other gameplay visuals are manually crafted."

You can check it out on Steam with a Native Linux demo.
