I did a search for this game but didn't find anything, sorry if there is already a topic I didn't see.
I gave this game a shot over the weekend and it's pretty fun, if limited, (only 3 maps right now) but it is only in an alpha state right now and it's ftp. Basically you build a robot using progressively better materials as you level up and unlock them. You earn points by taking part in multiplayer battles. You can buy points as well, but as far as I know you can earn everything without spending any cash, it just of course takes longer. There are 10 tiers of robots, each module or cube has a set value and as you add more stuff to your robot, you go up in tiers. The battles, at least at the lower end, are almost always just the same tier robots, occasionally I would see a couple tier 2 robots per side in my tier 1 battles, but mostly just tier 1s.
The tech unlocking is tier based, the beginning techs take tier 1 points which you earn by doing battles in a tier 1 robot, then to earn tier 2 tech points you need to battle in a tier 2 robot, etc.
Anyways, I thought this might interest a few people here, and as it's free to play you don't have much to lose aside from your time.

If anyone ends up liking it my in game name is the same as my forum handle, would love to get some team action going.
