Galactic Mech Derby

Galactic Mech Derby is a racing/fighting hybrid game developed by Llama Gaming for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio, it takes place in a distant future where races are set up with giant robots, where various competitors beat each other's mechs up to win.
== Plot ==
In the distant year of 2105, an intergalactic tournament had been going on for a few years, known as the Galactic Mech Derby, where one may either race normally or destroy his opponents to be the champion.
Depending on the character the player picks, they will have their own story and motives for entering the race to become the next champion, from saving their family to taking over the universe.
== Gameplay ==
In Galactic Mech Derby, there are various robots to choose from, and they all have their own stats, weapons and specials. The stats measured in the game are:
* CONTROL: How easy or difficult it is to control the mech, such as turning it and speeding up.
* FUEL: How much energy a mech has by default, this can be refilled in the races.
* HEALTH: How much of a beating the mech can take before going down.
* POWER: How strong a mech is, this stat can be changed by equipping different weapons.
The player controls a mech of their choice and must fight their way through the race, there are two different things to watch out for, the enemies and weapon controls (done with the right side of the controller) and the movement controls (left side of the controller), if a player can keep track of both along with knowing the mech's stats, they can easily master the game.
There are different racing modes, like in Mario Kart, there is the "easy" mode, 50CC, medium would be 100CC and, finally, hard is 150CC, each mode changes the base and max speeds of all the racers, AI characters are also altered to play differently and more competitively depending on the mode.
Galactic Mech Derby ha various modes aside form diffculties, there is the Campaign mode, where the player picks a single character and plays through all the tracks to beat the story, Arcade mode is one of the multiplayers modes, two players pick their characters and race eachother (along with several AIs) on a selected track, and Battle mode has two players fight each other in a selected track, in this mode, the only way to win is to destroy the other player.
