If there's one thing mobile gaming has been missing, it's the thrill of heavy metal mech action. While the genre might be niche, it's beloved by fans, especially those who cherish the Mechwarrior series. Until now, single-player mech simulators have been scarce on mobile platforms, but that's about to change with the release of Exoloper.
Exoloper, which we first covered last October, brings you directly into the cockpit of your own mech for a first-person, one-on-one battle experience. If you've been yearning for a Mechwarrior-like experience on your mobile device, 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 storefronts on February 10th. So, you won't have to wait long to see if it meets the high standards set by its predecessor.
Judgement & RetributionThe 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, though contentious, additions. It's surprising, then, to see a spiritual successor like Exoloper launching on iOS. While it may not match the depth of Mechwarrior's simulation, Exoloper promises a highly immersive experience.
Exoloper invites players to take on enemy mechs in their fight to liberate their homeworld from the nefarious Commonwealth. The game features a free campaign that allows players to try it out before deciding whether to purchase the premium section for more content.
