Project MBR is a five-versus-five multiplayer robot action shooting game where players get into the cockpit and battle from a first-person perspective.
- Weapon Design with Functional Beauty – A robot as an extension of a real combat vehicle with no meaningless shapes or parts, designed with a taste of functional elegance!
- Realistic but Transforming Robot – A realistic robot that can transform its body, allowing it to change its movements and weapons, enabling it to take a variety of tactical actions!
- Enhanced Development of the Aircraft and Highly Flexible Weapon Customization – The robot can be enhanced and developed, and it is possible to build one’s own tactics by combining equipped weapons.
- A Deep Battle System that Goes Beyond Mere Shooting – This deep battle system requires more than just shooting down enemies; it requires strategic maneuvering based on the situation, such as capturing and defending bases and giving orders to drones.
- A Near-Future Setting that Assumes the Earth About 30 Years From Now – A near-future setting that takes into account the extension of the real world, as envisioned by Mr. Koichi Inoue, with works such as the setting production of Armored Trooper Votoms, the planning, setting, and production of Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO.
- Legendary Composer – Legendary game music composer, Noriyuki Iwadare, has provided an orchestral sound of the battlefield with all his might.
- Game Engine Change and Upgrade – We will be changing from Unreal Engine 4 to UnrealEngine 5.
