Traction Edge is top down squad fighting game with roguelike mechanics and a steampink theme. You choose agents and their equipment for each map then proceed to kill everything on the opposing side. Current version features three fixed levels to fight through.
Story
Pulled from the comfortable surroundings of your village constabulary and recruited into a shadowy government agency, you are drawn into an inexplicable mystery of disappearing townsfolk and strange sentient mechanical contraptions.
