If there's one thing that mobile gaming has been missing, it's the thrilling world of heavy metal mech action. Fans of the Mechwarrior series, both on and off the tabletop, know the unique excitement that comes with piloting a giant robot into battle. However, single-player mech simulators have been scarce on mobile devices—until now.
Enter Exoloper, the mech battle simulator from the creators of Interloper, set to launch on February 10th. In Exoloper, you'll take control of your own mech and engage in intense one-on-one battles against enemy mechs as you fight to liberate your homeworld from the oppressive Commonwealth. The game offers a free campaign for you to try, giving you a taste of the action before deciding if you want to dive into the additional premium content.
What sets Exoloper apart is its first-person perspective, putting you right in the cockpit of your mech for an immersive experience. If you've been yearning for a Mechwarrior-like experience on your mobile device, this could be the game for you.
It's worth noting that Exoloper comes from Anchorite Games, the same team behind the critically acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper. With their track record of delivering quality in niche genres, expectations are high for Exoloper to meet the same standards when it hits storefronts next week.
Judgement & Retribution
The mech battling genre has always been a niche market. While the Mechwarrior series enjoyed its peak in the late 90s and early 2000s, the genre has seen limited releases since, with Mechwarrior 5 and Clans being notable entries. It's surprising to see a spiritual successor like Exoloper on iOS, offering a deep level of immersion despite not matching the depth of simulation found in Mechwarrior titles.
