FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Meridian Strike hard?
It is built around consequence: heat lockouts, per-location damage and pilots who can be lost, so bad positioning carries into later missions.
Do your pilots die permanently?
Pilots can be injured or lost during the campaign - they are explicitly not disposable, per the official description.
What kind of battles does it have?
Turn-based hex battles with movement, range, cover, line of sight and terrain all affecting the outcome.
How much is Meridian Strike?
$4.49 on Steam.
Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Meridian Strike is a turn-based tactical mech RPG released September 19, 2026 at $4.49.
You command a small mercenary company across dangerous contracts where positioning, heat, armor, terrain and pilot skill decide who comes home.
Battles take place on hex battlefields: choose positions, line up firing solutions and queue orders before committing the round.
Damage, heat and consequences
Every machine takes damage differently - armor and internal structure are tracked by location, so a lost arm can mean lost weapons and leg damage can cut mobility.
Heat matters as much as armor: push weapons too hard and systems lock down, so sometimes the right decision is not to fire.
Pilots gain experience and become veterans, but they can be injured or lost - the pilot who survives a desperate battle today may be the one you rely on several missions later.
The company between battles
Victory does not reset the board: repair damaged machines, manage injuries, choose salvage and watch funds.
Severe damage can leave a machine out of action until your company can afford to repair it, so readiness is a resource you manage alongside money.
For players who want tactics with attrition rather than clean resets, this is the design pitch - a campaign about winning battles and living with what they cost (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-09-20).
