Droid Duel

MIENchic Droid Duel is a turn-based tactical mech combat game played on a procedurally generated hex grid. Build your mech, face your enemy, and fight to the last plate of armor. ── DESIGN YOUR MECH ── Before combat begins, each pilot designs their machine from scratch. Choose a weight class — Light, Medium, Heavy, or Assault — then spend your tonnage budget on weapons, heat sinks, and jump jets. Every build is a tradeoff. Load up on PPCs and you'll hit hard but run hot. Stack heat sinks and jump jets and you'll dance around the battlefield while your opponent overheats. ── WEAPONS ── Five weapon systems, each with distinct damage, heat, and range profiles: - Machine Gun — rapid fire, minimal heat, chip damage - Laser — reliable mid-range energy weapon - Autocannon — heavy slug, high damage, low heat - PPC — particle cannon, maximum damage, maximum heat - SRM — short-range missiles, close-quarters devastation - Fists — adjacent melee, zero heat, both arms available ── HEX COMBAT ── Combat is pure tactics. Move your mech, manage your firing arc, watch your heat, and pick your shots. Firing arcs are enforced — ranged weapons require facing, but fists can strike in any direction when you're standing next to your enemy. Jump jets let you clear obstacles and reposition freely, but generate heat and give away your position with thruster smoke. ── TERRAIN ── The battlefield is never flat. Six terrain types change every fight plus manually randomize between water and forest worlds: - Open ground — clear fields of fire - Forest — blocks line of sight, can catch fire - Burning forest — adds heat to any mech standing in it - Water — three depths that progressively disable weapons and provide cooling bonuses to leg-mounted heat sinks - Rocks — passable but blocks LOS - Mountains — impassable, always blocks line of sight Elevation runs from –3 to +3. High ground lets you fire over obstacles. Deep valleys hide you from anyone not standing at the same level. ── MIENCORE ── No second player? Face MIENCORE — the built-in AI opponent. MIENCORE designs its own mech, taunts you mid-combat, and adapts its strategy to one of three aggression tiers: - Cautious — stays at range, maximizes mobility, avoids melee - Aggressive — closes to optimal range, fires smart, punches when adjacent - Reckless — charges in, fires everything, runs dangerously hot, hits devastatingly hard MIENCORE tracks its record against you separately on the scoreboard. Beating it on Reckless means something. ── PILOT IDENTITY ── Enter your pilot name before the fight. Record a custom victory taunt — your own voice, saved to the device — that plays when you destroy the enemy mech. Your record persists across sessions with a styled scoreboard showing wins, losses, win-rate bars, and your record specifically against MIENCORE. ── SOUND ── Full sound design with per-weapon audio. The game ships with a generated tone for every action — footsteps, jump thrusters, weapon fire, critical hits, destruction. Toggle sound on or off at any time from the top bar or Settings. ── A MIENchic PRODUCTION ── Droid Duel is built under the MIENchic brand — cult-luxury automotive art and lifestyle. Same attention to detail. Different battlefield.
