If there's one thing that mobile gaming has been missing, it's the adrenaline-pumping action of heavy metal mech battles. Fans of Mechwarrior know the thrill that comes with piloting a massive mech, a sentiment cherished by gamers on and off the tabletop. Until recently, single-player mech simulators have been scarce on mobile platforms. But that's about to change with the arrival of Exoloper.
Exoloper, which we first covered back in October of last year, is bringing the intense, first-person mech combat experience directly to your mobile device. This isn't about commanding units from above; it's about getting into the cockpit and engaging in one-on-one battles with enemy mechs. If you've been longing for a Mechwarrior-like experience on your phone, Exoloper might just be what you're looking for.
Developed by Anchorite Games, the creators of the acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper, Exoloper is set to hit digital storefronts on February 10th. This highly anticipated release promises to deliver the quality and immersion that fans have come to expect from Anchorite Games.
Judgement & RetributionThe mech battling genre may be niche, but it has a dedicated following. Since the heyday of Mechwarrior in the late 90s and early 2000s, the scene has been relatively quiet, with Mechwarrior 5 and Clans being notable entries. It's surprising, then, to see a spiritual successor like Exoloper launch on iOS. While it may not delve as deeply into mech simulation as Mechwarrior, Exoloper still promises a high level of immersion.
In Exoloper, you'll take on enemy mechs in your quest to liberate your homeworld from the oppressive Commonwealth. The game offers a free campaign for you to try out, giving you a taste of the action before deciding whether to dive into the premium section for more.
