If there's one thing that mobile gaming has been missing, it's the thrill of heavy metal mech action. Fans of the genre, particularly those who hold Mechwarrior dear in their hearts, have long awaited a game that captures the essence of piloting a mech in battle. Thankfully, the wait is almost over with the upcoming release of Exoloper, a mech battle simulator from Anchorite Games, the creators of the acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper.
Exoloper is set to launch on February 10th, bringing the excitement of one-on-one mech combat directly to your mobile device. Unlike overhead strategy games, Exoloper puts you in the cockpit, offering a first-person perspective that promises to deliver an immersive Mechwarrior-like experience on the go.
The game's narrative centers around your fight to liberate your homeworld from the oppressive rule of the Commonwealth. To entice players, Exoloper offers a free campaign that allows you to test the waters before deciding whether to dive into the premium section for more content.
Judgement & Retribution
The mech battling genre, while niche, has a dedicated following. Since the heyday of Mechwarrior in the late 90s and early 2000s, the genre has seen limited new entries, with Mechwarrior 5 and Clans being notable exceptions. Exoloper's arrival on iOS is a surprising yet welcome addition to the genre. While it may not match the depth of simulation found in Mechwarrior, it promises a high level of immersion that should satisfy fans craving mech action on their mobile devices.
