Mechabellum gets a second chance as Dreamhaven relaunches the mech autobattler

Dreamhaven announced a partnership with development studio Game River to publish the competitive auto battler, Mechabellum.

The sci-fi mech game has realistic graphics where you give marching orders to your forces and then they execute your commands in an auto battler. It looks like a real-time strategy game, but you can pause to think after each turn, said Mike Morhaime, CEO of Dreamhaven in an interview with GamesBeat.
