Great War Mechs

Developer: Holy Warp

Platform: iOS, Android

Great War Mechs is a mobile multiplayer mecha from Holy Warp and Black Wing Foundation.

Creating a third—person cooperative action game about giant walking robots is an excellent, but by no means an original idea in a market where one of the world’s highest-grossing projects is a tank “coop”.

Although, of course, it’s not just the success of a similar genre project. The thematic niche itself, which, consider, is going to be implemented in the World of Tanks format, is free.

The thing is that the real trendsetter in the world of walking robots – the BattleTech universe – is not bright and not sunny. MechWarrior Online was launched in September 2013, received average ratings and was forgotten.

And if so, then the desire to fill this gap is quite understandable. On consoles, Titanfall partially succeeded, on PC – Hawken. As for the mobile market, then Walking War Robots from Pixonic showed itself quite well (in the domestic market). And just in the footsteps of the latter are the authors of Great War Mechs.

The project, as far as I understand from the version that was provided at the Indie Game Cup 2015, is under active development. The game is being created on Unreal Engine 4 and looks good. But this is all that can be said about the game so far. Some conclusions can be drawn a little later.

But, I repeat, the idea is good, there are not enough walkers on the market, incinerating each other with whirlwinds of steel fire.

Games dedicated to helicopters are not such frequent visitors to the showcases. There are few cult projects among them at all. If anything comes immediately to mind, it’s the almost antique Strike series, in which the last game was released in 1997.

For this reason, it is very nice to see Heliborne from the independent studio JetCat Games, which is based in Vilnius.

The project is an MMO game in which the user has to take the helm of one of the dozen available helicopters and take part in air battles.

Heliborne is already quite playable and creates a very favorable impression. And in what other game is it allowed to “steer” the Ka-52 “Alligator”?
