Mech



The Mech mode is a way to play GALAK-Z that allows players get up in an enemy’s face. Its Directional Shield will deflect and absorb attacks when timed right. Players can also take and fling what they need from the environment — asteroids, spikes, explosives — at any enemy in their sights.

The Mech is all about pressuring the bad guys. One on one, especially versus smaller zippy enemies, the Mech is vicious. It can grab an enemy even from a distance, pull them close, and beat them to death.

Against many enemies, what it lacks in missiles it makes up in the ability to throw the explosive elements of the environment, or can dispatch multiple enemies at once with charged sword attacks that sweep in a great arc.

Defensively, the Direction Shield gives extra damage absorption on top of regular shields, and like with the Juke, more skillful players will be able to use their timing to negate attacks altogether by deflecting them. Best of all, the Mech requires no upgrades to use all of the skills listed above, making it the weapon of choice at the start of a Season when The Ship is still thin on awesome upgrades. Of course, switching between the two when desired is the most effective.
