The Steel Giant Awakens and War Begins as Mecha Force Hits 1.0
Mecha Force, the anime-inspired VR roguelite from developer Ming Studio and publisher MyDearest, officially launches today on Meta Quest and Steam for the low, community-friendly price of $9.99 USD. After months of Early Access and invaluable community support, the 1.0 version introduces sweeping improvements to combat, visuals, story progression, and customization. Players around the world can now suit up, sync up, and reclaim Earth from the invaders who nearly wiped us out.
The world has fallen. Inside the ruined walls of forgotten cities and ancient machines, the Dominators swarm-alien conquerors that broke humanity’s grip on the planet long ago. Hope arrives not as a hero, but as a relic: a steel giant with a pulse, unearthed from a forgotten war. Its name is KYLIN. Its core is alive. And its pilot… is you.
Mecha Force places you in the cockpit of KYLIN, an ancient machine capable of impossible power-but only if you survive long enough to unlock it. As the only pilot capable of executing a full neural link with KYLIN, you are humanity’s last shot at survival. From inside a fully immersive pilot chamber, you’ll swing beam sabers with your own hands, launch rocket fists into enemy mechs, and aim twin-mounted weapons with instinct alone.
At your side is Machineera-nicknamed Maki-a sharp-tongued, retro game-obsessed mystery whose fate is entwined with your own. Through each loss and every reboot, she learns with you. Guides you. Pushes you. Whether you fall or ascend, her voice is the last thing you’ll hear. As Maki speaks, the story unfolds-about Project Buzhou, about the Dominators, and about the cost of returning to battle again and again with full knowledge of how you died the last time.
Every victory unlocks new parts. Every failure teaches you something. Over time, KYLIN becomes yours-not just to command, but to shape. A war machine forged from anime dreams and tactical execution. Together, you’ll fight through swarms of alien beasts, rival mechs, kaiju-scale monstrosities, and anomalies that defy explanation.
