Exoloper: Heavy Metal Action Hits Mobile Next Week

If there's one thing that mobile gaming seems to be missing, it's the thrill of heavy metal mech action. While it's a niche interest, the Mechwarrior series has always held a special place in the hearts of gamers, both on and off the tabletop. Fortunately, the void of single-player mech simulators on mobile is about to be filled with the launch of Exoloper.

Exoloper, developed by Anchorite Games—the creators of the acclaimed space battle simulator Interloper—promises to deliver an intense, first-person mech combat experience. Set to hit storefronts on February 10th, this game invites you to pilot your own mech and engage in epic battles as you fight to liberate your homeworld from the clutches of the nefarious Commonwealth. The game offers a free campaign for players to try, with the option to unlock a premium section for further adventures.

The 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 exceptions. Exoloper, arriving on iOS, may not delve as deeply into mech simulation as its predecessors, but it aims to provide a highly immersive experience nonetheless.
