If there's one thing that mobile gaming has been missing, it's the thrill of heavy metal mech action. While the genre is quite specific, it holds a special place in the hearts of gamers, much like the iconic Mechwarrior series does both on and off the tabletop. Unfortunately, single-player mech simulators have been scarce—until now.
Enter Exoloper, a mech battle simulator from the creators of Interloper, set to launch on February 10th. This isn't your typical overhead strategy game; instead, it plunges you directly into the cockpit for first-person, one-on-one mech combat. If you've been yearning for the Mechwarrior experience on your mobile device, Exoloper might just be what you're looking for.
It's worth noting that Exoloper comes to us from Anchorite Games, the team behind the acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper. With their track record, expectations are high for this new title, and you won't have to wait long to see if it meets them.
Judgement & Retribution
The mech battling genre is notoriously niche. While Mechwarrior enjoyed its prime in the late 90s and early 2000s, recent entries like Mechwarrior 5 and Clans have been both contentious and praiseworthy. It's surprising, then, to see a spiritual successor like Exoloper arrive on iOS. While it may not delve as deeply into mech simulation as Mechwarrior, it promises an immersive experience nonetheless.
