Solo or small group - Mecha and Magic style game!

What follows is just an example of what I would really like to play - I'm not looking to write the setting or the adventures, rather I'm hoping to find a GM who would run something like this as a solo or very small group game.

The Kingdom of Traslia faced the greatest threat the world had known when the Nefandi invaded.  Crossing the vast oceans in vessels of brass and bone, the demon-spawned enemy routed all those that sought to stand against them.  Mortal armies could not stand up to the vast horror of their machines of war that spat arcane bolts that incinerated entire phalanxes of dedicated troops.  City after city fell as the Nefandi's war machines rolled on and on.  No human was spared in their wake, nor animal, nor plant.  This was not a war- it was an extermination.

In the capital city of Thale, the priests implored the Gods to intervene.  While most remained deaf to the prayers of their soon-to-be-slaughtered followers, one god took pity on the last bastion of Humanity, and sought out the most virtuous of souls.  To each of those he found,he presented a suit of armour the likes of which had not been seen in Traslia. Standing three times the hight of man, powered with divine energies, the Warstriders set about defending their city.  Each was based on a different tenet of fait, each had their strengths and weaknesses, but each was worth a hundred Nefandi war-machines.

Until, that is, the Nefandi implored their Dark Masters for a solution... and it arrived as a bleak mockery of the Warstriders - armoured suits that were the antithesis of each of the heroic suits that defend the city still.

That was a year ago - the siege of Thale still goes on, each side trying to find a way to overcome the other's Warstriders.

The system I'd like is one of the free ones - Either Wushu, or if the GM is willing to teach me the finer points, FATE (accelerated?). That said, I don't mind another system as long as it is fast-flowing.  I'd like to play in a mecha game that doesn't die before an IC thread begins. The key elements of the setting should be that it is a fantasy land (i don't mind if it's Asian or European) with high magic, and there are giant armoured suits that do lots of cinematic fighting and are allowed to be awesome.

Been wanting to try Wushu. I would GM, but I never played the system. Not saying no, just slow to say yes.

Wushu is an awesome system - Simple and elegant.  I've used it on a game or two in RPOL and it works well.  It could certainly work for a mecha-fantasy game.
