Gameplay
In Starwing Paradox, two teams of eight players each pilot giant humanoid mechs in a battle to control the playing field and assault the opposing team's base. The object of the game is to destroy the opposing team's core, which is protected by a barrier that can only be brought down by capturing three of the five neutral objectives, known as ports, on the map.
In addition to the standard flying, shooting and sword-fighting actions expected of mech combat, the players’ mechs can enter a high-speed “Full Drive” mode to move between objectives in a matter of seconds. Prior to each game, players can customize their mechs with an assortment of weapons and head/body/limb models to suit their play style and role within the team.
Cancelled tournament
Tournament events for the game were supposed to be held in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, and Fukuoka on August 17 and August 24, 2019. However, the tournament events were canceled due to Square Enix receiving death threats.[3]
