Just wait it out for Hawken and that new Mechwarrior F2P game. It's kinda weird right now because you just got on in the middle of a quasi-resurgence. RajKhN 9 years ago 3. Hawken and Mechwarrior Online are the 2 mech games to have on the radar right now.
Both will be free-to-play. Since you like Chromehounds so much you'll probably like Mechwarrior the most. Mech customization works around your mech's available tonnage weight capacity. You will manage your armor, weapons, heatsinks, and other things under this restriction. Mechs are divided into light, medium, heavy, and assault classes.
While light mechs wont last long in prolonged fights, they fill an important role for a team with their speed and maneuverability. Mechwarrior Online will sport a variety of environments that will affect visibility, heat management, and the flow of battles. In fact, a new video released today showcases a snow map for the first time.
Though, party chat eliminated a key game mechanic and I got sick of all the double-doubles I encountered. I do hope a sequel gets made some day. More topics from this board In Anthem players are freelancers who leave the safety of civilization to explore an alien landscape.

While that comes with its own share of problems like a long grind and microtransactions, MechWarrior Online excels at capturing the slow pace of combat that made the series so revered to begin with.
Unlike most first-person shooters out there, where players can correct their mistakes with lightning quick reflexes, your life in MechWarrior often hangs with decisions made 30 seconds ago.
Being behind the wheel of a lumbering robot makes it impossible to get yourself out of trouble once you get into it, making cooperation with teammates a crucial part of victory. With an overly complex skill tree and an unintuitive menu system, MechWarrior Online isn't exactly friendly to newcomers. But it has a devoted community that is genuinely welcoming to newbies and has created abundant out-of-game resources to get new MechWarriors up to speed.
And once you've gotten everything figured out you'll be able to customize hundreds of different mechs with over a hundred unique weapons systems, with all of it steeped in rich lore born from a classic game franchise. You start off piloting a fairly standard space fighter, but pretty soon come across an experimental piece of military hardware called the Strike Suit.
This suit is capable of switching between fighter mode, where you to fly about space Freelancer-style, and giant killer robot mode where you turn into a Macross-style mecha capable of taking down clouds of enemy fighters at the touch of a button. The first time you line up your crosshairs on some plus incoming enemy fighters and let loose that wave of missiles will give you chills. It's a mech power fantasy unlike anything else. Power, agility, and flitting from objective to objective while raining death and destruction wherever you go makes you feel like a robot god.
And things get even more intense when you start taking on capital ships—the miles-long battlecruisers that will make you look like a bug, but never feeling like one.
Thanks to two capital-ship-busting autocannons, you can crack open that battlecruiser faster than they can shout "nani?! BattleTech is the fantasy of being a warrior-engineer. You trade missiles and lasers with other bipedal tanks, you win or lose, and then you head back to the drawing board to repair damage, refit weapons, reallocate armor, and rethink your all-PPC tonner. I love the rhythm of the combat—the plentiful gaps as mechs take a breath to reload, rotate, or take aim.
MechCommander was the first game in the series to add 'tactician' to that job description, and it holds up remarkably well as a real-time tactics game. Over dozens of escort, search and destroy, and scouting missions, you command as many as three lances 12 mechs at a time, waypointing them away from explosive fuel drums and out of the range of turrets as you duel with light, medium, heavy, and assault-class enemy mechs.
In those moments, you're anticipating an arm being blown off, or whether your Raven will dodge that Gauss cannon.
While MechCommander's progression system for pilots is limited by modern standards, mechwarriors can permanently die, have a set of individual voice lines the death cry of Rooster, a clumsy yokel, is particularly haunting , and are charming enough. More fun is the battlefield work of trying to shave off just enough of that enemy Masakari or Thor so that you can salvage it, repair it, and bring it into your next battle.
MechCommander is abandonware—get MechCommander Gold , which includes a built-in level editor. Watch this six-minute Windows 10 tutorial to get it running properly. Double Fine's not-quite-a-tower-defense-game spin on mechs is one of the most unique thanks largely to its campy B-movie vibe and WW1-era aesthetic. Don't make the mistake of thinking Iron Brigade is yet another tower defense game where you place rows of static defenses that usher waves of stupid enemies into killboxes, however.
