If you feel that mobile gaming is missing out on the thrill of heavy metal mech action, then you're in for a treat. Mechwarrior has long held a cherished spot in the hearts of gamers, both on and off the tabletop, and now, the single-player mech simulator genre is getting a much-needed boost with the arrival of Exoloper.
Set to launch on February 10th, Exoloper is the latest creation from Anchorite Games, the team behind the acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper. This isn't about overhead strategy; it's about strapping into the cockpit of your own personal mech and engaging in intense, first-person combat. If you've been longing for a Mechwarrior-like experience on your mobile device, Exoloper might just be the game you've been waiting for.
The game invites you to battle enemy mechs in your quest to liberate your homeworld from the nefarious Commonwealth. What's more, you can dive into a free campaign to get a taste of the action, and if you're hooked, there's an option to unlock a premium section for even more gameplay.
Judgement & Retribution
The mech battling genre may be niche, but it has a dedicated following. Since the peak of Mechwarrior in the late 90s and early 2000s, the genre has seen sparse releases, with notable entries like Mechwarrior 5 and Clans. It's refreshing to see a spiritual successor like Exoloper making its way to iOS, offering a deeply immersive experience, even if it doesn't delve as deeply into mech simulation as its predecessors.
