BlackJack Studio, known for Langrisser Mobile, is set to release its latest tactical RPG, Mecharashi, on July 31. The upcoming title incorporates mech-based strategy gameplay and includes crossover content inspired by iconic anime, including Evangelion. Positioned within the tactical RPG genre, Mecharashi aims to offer a hands-on strategic experience distinct from traditional gacha-style mechanics.
Established Developer with Tactical RPG Experience
BlackJack Studio brings a track record of tactical RPG development, with previous titles such as Langrisser Mobile, Kalpa of Universe, and Archeland. These games have contributed to the studio’s presence in the global mobile tactical RPG market, combining strategic gameplay with character development systems. Mecharashi builds upon this foundation, introducing mech-based mechanics to the studio’s tactical formula.
Heavy Metal Warfare Meets Deep Customization
Set on the war-torn island of Milkhama, Mecharashi follows a mercenary squad navigating a complex environment shaped by political conflict and shifting military dynamics.
Combat adheres to classic grid-based, turn-based tactical systems, enhanced by a deep customization framework. Players assemble each mech from individual components: arms, legs, torsos, weapons, and can personalize their appearance, including paint and visual decals. Functional aspects of each mech are influenced by part selection: mobility is determined by leg modules, weapon types by arm components, and survivability by structural integrity.
Combat strategy also involves part-specific damage mechanics. Disabling limbs can affect movement or weapon functionality, while targeting a mech’s core results in immediate neutralization, requiring precise tactical execution.
Distinct Gacha System and Strategic Team Composition
While Mecharashi includes gacha mechanics, its system separates pilot and mech acquisition into distinct banners. This structure allows for broader team-building flexibility, enabling players to assemble pilot rosters independently of mech units. Gameplay incorporates six defined roles, such as Sniper, Guardian, and Machinist, encouraging strategic experimentation and role-specific customization.
The campaign introduces a range of mission types, including defense scenarios, extraction tasks, control point engagements, and environmental puzzle challenges. These variations aim to offer consistent tactical engagement throughout gameplay.
And then there’s the endgame:
- Clearance Ops features brutal boss battles with multi-phase mechanics.
- Border Conflict offers roguelike-style random encounters for endless replayability
- Simulated Battles introduce terrain-driven debuffs that completely change how you play.
- Pilot Files explore individual character stories and challenge you with limited-unit missions.
It’s not just more content. It’s more intelligent content.
High-Profile Collaborations Power Mecharashi’s Launch
Mecharashi is launching with some surprisingly bold crossover content. For starters, it’s teaming up with NVIDIA, dropping a high-spec S-Grade mech called Pascal. Then there’s the Republic of Gamers (ROG) collab, which is bringing in their own mech designs. Because if anyone knows gaming hardware, it’s ROG.
But the real curveball? Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s official.
Mecharashi is bringing in Asuka, Rei, and Shinji as playable pilots, along with exclusive Evangelion-themed mechs: Dawnbringer-00, 01, and 02. For anyone who’s ever wanted to drop Unit-01 into a tactical grid and wreck shop, their moment is coming.
Launch Campaign Offers Multiple Rewards for Early Participants
To support new players at launch, Mecharashi is introducing a campaign with several in-game rewards. The rollout includes:
- An exclusive emblem for pre-registered users
- Free S-Grade pilots, Seven and Naomi, are available upon login
- A complete S-Grade mech and an exclusive skin within the first two weeks
- Unlimited rerolls on a dedicated banner featuring guaranteed S-Grade pilots
- 90 complimentary pulls during the launch event
This launch package reflects an approach designed to offer accessible starting resources and progression opportunities, particularly in comparison to other recent releases in the genre.
Mecharashi Set for Cross-Platform Release with Collaborative Content
Mecharashi is slated for release on July 31 across PC, Steam, iOS, Android, and the Epic Games Store. The title combines tactical RPG elements with mech warfare and layered gacha mechanics, aiming to deliver a structured and strategy-focused gameplay experience. The initial content roadmap includes crossover collaborations, including with the Evangelion franchise, set to be available at launch. Pre-registration is currently open across all platforms.
