Garrison: Archangel

Garrison: Archangel is a fast-paced mecha fighting game developed by Indigo Entertainment Inc. A demo was available online through itch.io since May of 2017. It was released on May 15, 2020.

Development
The game has been developed by a team of developers from the Philippines since mid 2016. The development originally consisted of a single person, but has since grown to 4 people working on it full-time.

The game first became available to the public at May 29, 2017 through the Steam Greenlight program. The project was one of the last games to be greenlit by the community before Steam Greenlight was retired.

As of September 2017, the latest available version is 0.1.49 which was available for free in itch.io.

Gameplay
The game is primarily focused on Archangel fights and customization. It has influences from Bandai Namco's Bloodborne console game as well as the Gundam series. The player has the ability to customize their Archangel's body parts and weaponry including the colors for each part. The player then can choose to fight in an Arcade-style series of matches against the Computer or fight other players locally through split-screen multiplayer.

Combat
The primary focus of the game is combat. The Archangel's loadout defines its stats and the armaments equipped defines its combat abilities and move sets.

Customization
Players can also customize their Archangel's loadout and colors. The in-game editor provides complex ways to personalize the player's Archangels.

Multiplayer
As of 0.1.49, the only form of multiplayer is couch multiplayer in which the players play on a single computer through split-screen. The developers have stated that online multiplayer will be available upon the game's release.

Tournaments
As of September 2017, the developers have held two tournaments, dubbed Cosmic Clash, in the Philippines with another one coming at the end of September 2017. The tournaments were intended to be a public play test as well as an opportunity to receive feedback for the combat element of the game.

The tournament champions had the opportunity to have their own Archangels be part of the canon Lore in the world of Garrison: Archangel.
 * Blitz Airmaster was the first ever champion. The Archangel featured a full ranged loadout, which was very controversial at the time since full ranged loadout was considered not viable for combat.
 * Crystal Starqueen was the second champion. The Archangel was carefully built around high damage output and has easily dominated the ladder.
