If that sounds familiar, it’s extremely similar to Battlefield, or at least in concept. Galahad 3093 is all about its 16-vs-16-player Base Assault mode, wherein you capture control points and kill enemy mechs in order to drain their limited ticket pool faster. For instance, you can level up and customize your mods, weapons, and the base components of your Lance with points you earn while playing. This process can be meticulous if you’re interested in making granular edits to your loadout. It’s fun to sit in the customization screen and theory-craft a build from scratch or start with one of five templates. For instance, Mordred has the ability to teleport brief distances while Gwen can unleash a dome shield that blocks all incoming projectiles.
Each selectable Knight has its own unique passive buff in addition to an active ability that can be activated with the Q key. Pilots are called Knights, mechs are called Lances, and that’s all I know at this point. You can choose to level up the equipment you like.įrom my brief understanding of Galahad 3093’s story, there’s a focus on Arthurian legend here which influences the names and themes of each character and mech. You begin Galahad 3093 with your full arsenal. The lightest mechs are the least armored but move the fastest and can only carry a small handful of weapons, whereas the Super Heavy mechs can carry far more and take quite a beating, but struggle to keep up in mobility. Mechs are divided into four classes: Light, Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy. I’ve barely poked around with the vast array of primary weapons, secondary weapons, and deployables on offer, but you’re given quite a long leash to pick and choose as you wish. Not only do you get eight pilots to choose from, but you are also given full reign to build and upgrade your mech’s loadout as you see fit. The first thing you’ll notice when logging into a Galahad 3093 skirmish is the bewildering number of customization options. Especially if you can get into a lobby with other humans playing alongside or against you. From what I’ve seen, I can comfortably say it’s a work in progress, but there’s a silver lining in that it’s actually pretty fun once you understand its systems. During that time, I dove even deeper into its systems and got a genuine feel for it all. But once I got home, I found myself playing its Early Access build a little more. I got my first taste of Galahad 3093 during PAX West last month.
That mix should be, at the very least, intriguing to those who’ve been waiting for their next mech shooter fix. It mixes elements of Mech Warrior, Hawken, Overwatch, and Starsiege: Tribes into one experience. That’s what upcoming arena shooter Galahad 3093 seeks to do.
