It seems mechs are coming back into style. (Did they ever truly leave?) Besides Hawken, we've got Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, MechWarrior Online, and now another project, MechWarrior Tactics, has surfaced. These are only the games that immediately come to my mind, so there's bound to be more.
The website doesn't have much information regarding what genre Tactics might be in, but you are allowed to reserve a commander name right now. If the countdown is any indication, we'll find out more next week. I hope it ends in another countdown that, in turn, reveals a teaser image.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

In Japan there are plenty of mech games, hopefully more will get localized.
HOW ARE YOU DOING FAFNIR
YOUR CANNONS LOOK GREAT FAFNIR
The amount of time I sunk into both those titles was obscene.
YEEEEEEEEE--*Boom*
Seriously, I just want to be able to play a modern game with my dad that harkens back to the glory days of NetMech in Mechwarrior 2. I doubt he'll want to fuck around with some online freemium shit.
I agree its totally a bummer that Hawken and Mechwarrior have gone freemium. Thank god for ZOE HD
Still this game looks quite cool
