looks like it mixes mechs/walkers with more 'contemporary' forces?

It's a very good-looking game, with some interesting mechanics and gameplay features... I would say it is the mecha counterpart to Harebrained Schemes' Battletech. There's is a distinctly "North American" touch to the setting (the mechs travel cross country on the back of a big truck traveling around the country much like Knight Rider). The strategic layer seems less wooden than HBS Battletech's.

I have been hesitant to pick it up, as it is an Epic exclusive and I am finding it hard to remember about the games I have there (like 4 or 5).

Looks interesting - I will get this once it appears on Steam.

^That is a rather enigmatic reply. Would you care to elucidate us further?
