Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes Hitting Switch On November 20, Has Cross-play With Playstation Vita

The art of war is about to go desert-punk in this upcoming strategy RPG!

Arcade Distillery will be launching Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita, and PS4 on 20 November 2018. The remastered game bears a heavy likeness to the Advanced Wars series, with unit-to-unit combat and a grid-based map.

Apparently, the game’s Switch version will also feature cross-play support with its PlayStation Vita version. This means that both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation Vita owners will be able to play versus each other online.

Check out the game’s trailer and details, courtesy of Handheld Players:

In the aftermath of a great flood, a vengeful leader threatens to conquer the world with the aid of a once lost technology and only a small but determined army stands in their path.

Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes is the definitive release of the 2009 strategy classic, Mecho Wars. Fully remastered in high definition, it features new hand painted art, new visual effects, an expanded single-player campaign and six previously unreleased multiplayer maps.

Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes utilizes an easy to learn turn-based combat system, balancing air, sea and land units. Further customize your play with perks unlocked by completing challenges and compete with others locally or online.
