Antraxx Overview
Antraxx is a free-to-play isometric mech shooter built around instanced modes and a broader territorial struggle between factions. The premise is straightforward, the world has been ground down by generations of warfare, and the remaining forces rely on heavy machines to push their claims across a hostile, stripped-down landscape. From the start you align with one of three factions, then jump into different match types that support team fights, free-for-all skirmishes, and cooperative play.
Where it aims to stand out is in its sandbox-leaning ideas. Territory control is positioned as a larger, ongoing conflict, with the general vibe of faction-versus-faction games where map pressure and ownership matter (similar in spirit to Planetside 2, but viewed from an isometric perspective). Between matches, the customization layer is meant to be the main hook, you swap components, trade for upgrades, and harvest parts from defeated enemies to steadily reshape your machine.
Loadouts can be adjusted with mobility and utility options that change how encounters play, including gear like jetpacks and cloaking, plus heavier offensive tools such as rockets and energy weapons. The game also talks up player-created spaces, letting you claim land and use map-building tools to assemble your own zone, which is intended to keep content from feeling capped once you have seen the standard modes.
Antraxx Key Features:
- Isometric Mech Combat – take direct control of a war machine, roam a battered battlefield, and blast anything that threatens your run.
- High Quality Pixel Art – a sharp pixel-art presentation with a classic console-era look, focusing on readable action and detailed environments.
- Mech Customization – mix and match parts sourced through trading or salvaged from destroyed enemy mechs to support different builds.
- Variety of Game Modes – play team modes, free-for-all, and co-op, or pursue land ownership and experiment with the included map tools.
- Three Factions to Join – pick one of three sides and contribute to a wider fight for territory and control.

Antraxx Additional Information
Developer: Antraxxed
Publisher: Antraxxed
Kickstarter Launch: October 1, 2016
Kickstarter Cancellation: November 1, 2016
Release Date: Unreleased
Antraxx (previously titled META4) is developed and published by Antraxxed, a small team that has reportedly collaborated on the project since 2011. Early versions were built in ActionScript using FlashDeveloper on a custom 2D engine targeting mobile, before the project was later reworked to accommodate tighter, more active controls using newer tech.
The stated ambition was a cross-platform launch spanning mobile, browser, and desktop platforms such as PC, Mac, and Linux. A Kickstarter campaign began on October 1, 2016 with a funding target of €30,000, but it reached €4,891 before being cancelled on November 1, 2016. At the time, the developers indicated they would keep iterating using community feedback, but no release date was ever locked in. With no meaningful public updates in years, the project appears to be dormant and is best treated as effectively abandoned by prospective players.
