The Orion Project

How To Play

The Orion Project is like chess but with gigantic, stylized warmachines. Outmaneuver enemy forces, scavenge fallen mechs, and unlock devastating new upgrades. 

• AWSD — Pan camera 
• Mouse Scroll — Zoom camera
• C — Center camera
• Left Mouse — Select unit, select action, execute action
• Right Mouse — Deselect unit, deselect grid square
• Escape — pause and unpause

Rules

• Each mech has four parts: Base, Torso, and two Weapons, which you can mix and match freely.
• Defeated enemies can be scavenged, unlocking new parts.
• Base parts come in Ground, Hover, and Air types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
• Many actions in the game generate heat, and if your unit’s heat bar maxes out, it will explode.
• And many more...
