About the game

What you do in a play session

In the post-war world of Steel Whisper, humanity is on the brink of extinction. You take control of a legendary combat mech, the Steel Whisper, salvaged from an abandoned military base. With damaged systems and limited power, your mission is to infiltrate a fortified city controlled by military remnants, cause as much chaos as possible, and survive long enough for the resistance to steal vital supplies. The game is an intense tactical simulation where every decision matters. You manage 6 action dice per turn, which can be used for movement, rotation, repairs, cooling, or activating special equipment. Command cards set strategic priorities, while positioning and heat management are crucial to surviving enemy counterattacks. Combat uses a table system where you allocate dice results to maximize damage or trigger tactical effects. Prepare for a tense gameplay experience full of tough choices, where every turn could mean the difference between victory and total destruction.
