Mechanical Beating is a miniature board game that Aloy can play against various characters from the Forbidden West,” explains community manager Bo de Vries. “In this tactical game, pieces of the iconic Horizon Machines move around the board, ‘fighting’ each other.
As you would expect from a game invented by the combative Tenakth, the aim is to take out all of the opponent’s machines. To win it is not enough to field the strongest pieces, because strategy is also crucial. And the further west you go, the stronger your opponents become.
