Bounty Star Launches Today: Battle Mechs and Homestead the Desert of the Red Expanse!

It's time to dust off your mech piloting skills, because the Red Expanse is calling! Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem launches today, courtesy of indie studio DINOGOD and publisher Annapurna Interactive, bringing a wild fusion of over-the-shoulder mech action and homesteading survival to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Game Store).

This solo adventure casts you as Clem, a haunted ex-soldier and ace pilot seeking redemption in a dusty, post-post-apocalyptic American Southwest teeming with outlaws, monsters, and moral gray areas. When you're not purging bounties with your customizable mech, you'll retreat to your rundown homestead to till soil, raise critters, craft ammo, and expand your base; turning a barren plot into a self-sustaining haven that buffs your mech for the next hunt.

Mechs and Farming?

There are several inventive ideas that set Bounty Star apart from your standard mech action game. First, deep customization lets you tailor the Desert Raptor MKII to your style, thermal management adds tactical decisions in battle, while Clem's library and garage whiteboard offer in-game practice for mastering loadouts against different enemy types.

The game's "no wrong way to win" philosophy shines in its blend of intense combat and laid-back management, creating a loop that's as rewarding as it is original. It's like Armored Core in the Wild West, but with Stardew Valley base building and downtime. There is also a redemption story in play as well, with dialog and cutscenes used to help players identify with Clem and the emotional arc she travels both before and during the games' events. Basically, Bounty Star has a little bit of everything, and everything works together to make an exciting whole.
