About

M.A.V. is a custom mech combat game with a core focus on tactical combat and customization. You play as a MAV pilot, fighting against an oppressive government trying to turn your home into a forced labor camp. You will be able to build your MAV, piece by piece, into the perfect weapon for your fighting style. You will need to use teamwork and a steady aim to fight against other MAV's and military forces to protect your home and take back the areas conquered by others.Take part in a persistent war across the surface of Europa, fighting against other rebel factions and the United Earth Council. Join with your friends to create your own faction, capture territories through hard fought battles, spend resources to get new parts for your MAV and upgrade the defenses of your territories, and possibly deploy a game changing Mega Weapons.

The game is set in the near future, after a comet impacts with the Jovian moon Europa. A mining colony / terraforming colony is established on the now habitable moon to harvest resources to send back to a failing Earth. Due to the dire state of the planet Earth, the miners are quickly enslaved and forced into work camp…
