HOW TO INSTALL

  1. 01
    GET THE GAME

    Install Super Mecha Champions on Steam (free). Open it from Steam once and let the game finish its own update, then close it. Overdrive goes on top of the updated game.

  2. 02
    DOWNLOAD THE KIT

    Press Download the kit at the top of this page. You get SMC-Overdrive-Kit.zip: the launcher and everything it installs.

  3. 03
    UNZIP IT IN THE GAME FOLDER

    In Steam, right-click Super Mecha Champions → Manage → Browse local files. Unzip the kit into the folder that opens.

  4. 04
    START SMC OVERDRIVE.EXE

    A blue SmartScreen box may appear, because the launcher is not code-signed. Click More info, then Run anyway.

  5. 05
    PRESS INSTALL & PLAY

    Say yes when Windows asks for permission. Steam starts the game, set up for Overdrive. From then on, Play is all it takes.

YOU NEED
  • Super Mecha Champions installed through Steam
  • Windows 10 or 11
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2: built into Windows 11 and most Windows 10 PCs.
    If the launcher stays blank, get the Evergreen runtime from Microsoft.
ONLY ON OVERDRIVE

WHAT YOU GET

NEW MODE

BOMB RUSH

Two teams, two bomb sites. Attackers have to plant a charge at both sites to take the round; defenders win it by defusing either one.

BATTLE ROYALE

TWO LIVES, SKY-DROP REVIVES

Taken out once? Your second life launches you back in from the sky, above a squadmate in the safe zone. Downed teammates can be revived, and a squad that wins drops its fallen back in.

TEAM DEATHMATCH

5V5, ALWAYS FULL

Bots fill every empty seat, so a match starts as soon as you queue. Vote the arena first: Port, Extreme Sportsground or Crimson Valley.

CLASSES

NEW CLASS SYSTEM

Assault, Recon, Support or Engineer, in every mode. Build your class's kit: a weapon, a sidearm, two utilities, a grenade, an active perk and a passive perk.

BUILDS

193 MODULES, 30 CORES

193 new modules for your mechs' hangar slots and 30 new cores that change how a mech fights, Hurricane's Raging Missile core among them.

MECHS

NEW KITS, NEW BALANCE

31 mechs with reworked kits and fresh balance tuning: damage, movement and skills, tuned figure by figure and still being tuned.

PILOTS

PILOT GUNS, RETUNED

Every on-foot weapon re-tuned for the pilot fight, judged by shots to take someone down, so the fight outside the mech holds up on its own.

PROGRESSION

162 ACHIEVEMENTS TO HUNT

XP from every match. Your pilot levels to 100 and every mech to 30. 38 weekly objectives and 162 achievements over 486 tiers pay out Meow Tokens and Crystals.

PC FIRST

BUILT FOR A MONITOR

The lobby, menus and battle HUD rebuilt for PC and sized to your screen, not stretched from a phone. Ultra graphics, an Unlimited frame rate and longer view and detail distances.

CONTROLLERS

GYRO AIM AND LOCK-ON

Xbox, DualSense and Switch pads work natively. Gyro aiming: off, always, on hold or on a toggle. Mechs get a controller soft and hard lock-on for mech-vs-mech fights.

SUPPORT

REPORT IT, GET IT FIXED

Press Esc, hit the bug icon and say what happened. Your match, mech and game log go with it, and fixes ship as the reports come in.

LAUNCHER

ONE BUTTON TO PLAY

The launcher sets the game up, updates itself and keeps your client current. Switch to Super Mecha Crows in a click, or Uninstall to put the game back to stock.
