The beloved puzzle game Baba is You returns with another charming spinoff: Mobile Suit Baba.

In this delightful adventure, Baba and friends don giant mecha versions of themselves for tactical, turn-based puzzles. The focus is on predicting enemy movements, knocking them around, and, in true Baba is You style, altering the fundamental rules by rearranging phrases.

This cute game features enemies with predictable moves that players must counter to safeguard their fruit from being stolen or destroyed. The tactical brilliance includes rearranging words like transforming “Water Is Sink” into “Forest Is Sink” to outsmart enemies seeking cover in forests. Mobile Suit Baba draws clear inspiration from Subset Games’ outstanding title and PC Gamer’s 2018 game of the year, Into the Breach.

Developer Hempuli acknowledges the strong influence, stating, “Yes, the game is very strongly inspired by Subset Games’ Into the Breach.” The game description invites players to help Baba and friends thwart a mysterious force attempting to steal all the fruit, promising tactical puzzling action, heartwarming storytelling, and extra challenges across 43 missions.

Baba is You stands out as a fantastic PC puzzle game, earning praise for its clever design. PC Gamer hails it as one of the best low-spec or laptop games, with a remarkable 90 score in Philippa Warr’s 2019 review.

Mobile Suit Baba is available on Hempuli’s itch.io for US $4, adding another playful spinoff to developer Arvi “Hempuli” Teikari’s collection. For those interested, you can stay updated on the developer’s creations through his website.
