A full port of the Lancer TTRPG to a mecha tactics game. Build your squad with some of the best damn customization options ever seen in a tactics RPG & blow up some space cops.

This started as a small excuse for me to learn Godot and feed my love of the Lancer system & universe, but is spiraling out into a full game. I hope you have fun!

This page is for post-Kickstarter early access builds. You can find the original in-browser prototype here:

[Aug 2026] Warning: AMD recently released a graphics driver update that has broken many 3D games made in the Godot engine. If you have an affected machine and are seeing weird or missing graphics, try launching the game in Compatibility mode from the settings menu (I'll also include a shortcut to do it automatically in the next build). The folks working on the Godot engine are aware and have an open issue to fix it. Thanks for your patience!
