Choice of Games announced today that “Mecha Ace,” the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for iOS, Android and, via the Chrome Web Store, Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Step into the cockpit of a giant robot in an interstellar civil war! Customize your mecha to duel against enemy pilots with “monosaber” plasma swords. Find glory, disgrace, and even love.
“Mecha Ace” is a thrilling interactive sci-fi novel by Paul Wang, where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based-without graphics or sound effects-and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
For example, after bluffing an Imperial reconaissance unit into retreating, what will you do?

D) We don’t need an excuse to kill impie scum. Light’em up!
