One thing is certain, this weirdly dubious title with a fun gate-defence and well-written story deserves more attention than it currently has.

Also...
If I had a nickel for every time an indie dev made a game about war in a dictator's regime with the tale of soldiers who suffered in it, mechs, "girls" in the title, defending a gate as a core point. I'd have two nickels, and that's excluding the prequel to this. (Cavalry Girls is another dev entirely and somehow the two are oddly similar... to a fault.)

If Cavalry girls was the top down mecha-customization game, this would be your 2D towerdefense where you manage income and durability instead.
Music slaps, game is short but sweet.
This very much reminds me of old flash games or that Stick Figure Castle defender game from who knows how long ago. At least gameplay wise.
Story wise? Strap in, they had a writer and a localizer that knew how to make a story. Which wasn't what I expected going in. It's grim and bittersweet, but also charming. Each of the characters grows on you.

More of a wish than an expectation, but the steam workshop (Be it a boss/level maker. added weapons, custom characters, etc) would put this game in my own hall of fame.
