MechQuest

MechQuest, commonly abbreviated as "MQ," is the third online RPG franchise created by Artix Entertainment, and was released in Gamma Testing on October 1, 2007. It is a massive online single-player RPG, much like the previous two games released by the company, namely, AdventureQuest and DragonFable. However, MechQuest has abandoned the fantasy world of its precursors and places in the world of Sci-fi. The game implements Flash based game play over the internet requiring no download. The graphic style is that of Anime, and features both animated and non-animated player characters and non-player characters (NPCs). Unlike the other AE games, MechQuest is an RPG based on Mecha(giant robot)and futuristic times (referred to as the past by Artix Entertainment), rather than Warriors and Medievel times (referred to as the future by Artix Entertainment).

Back Story

MechQuest takes place in the year 3007, or 5000 years before AdventureQuest (4995 years before DragonFable).

Gameplay

MechQuest is a turn-based game. During their turn, each participant in the battle may either attack or skip their turn. Each time a player attacks, a random amount of damage is dealt upon the opponent,with stronger weapons dealing more damage. A strategic element is added to the gameplay by the "Energy" and "Cooldown" factors. Each time a weapon is fired, a certain amount of energy is drained, and a certain number of turns must pass before that weapon may be used again. Good strategy involves proper timing of weapon "cooldown" and energy conservation. Artix says there will be two other types of Battle: Energy Sword Duels and Blaster Duels, so far only the Energy Sword Dueling have been released. Participants may be forced to skip their turn on account of weapon cooldown and other strategy. (See Strategy.) The player is given the option to “repair” their Mech, fully recharging its health and energy, while not on a mission.

The Player vs. Player arena appears within the gamma release as an Arcade style game "Assault Mecha", while within it you are given the option to engage in a random battle or to battle against a chosen players mech, this is done by entering the players ID#.
