Make my armour GROW
Exomechahas beamed itself into our awareness, and therefore existence, with a new and impressively hectic trailer. It’s an upcoming, free-to-play competitive FPS apparently teeming with vehicles, mechs, and more explosions than is probably healthy. The trailer entrails below. It has piqued my interest, I will admit.

It looks like at least some of those things will seamlessly fit into the shooting, and the general vibe reminds me of both Halo andTitanfall. Oddly, I feel a dash ofEarth Defense Force. It’s that big gleaming dragon and its Godzilla-ish mecha-scream, I think. Plus it’s bright and brash and I even detect a little campiness. The robots are all remarkably shiny, too. Quite impressive given all that sand they’re bashing around in. Gosh, do you remember when we had nearly a decade of po-faced, brownFPS games? If I’m going to get blown up I at least want to do it somewhere nice.
It would be unfair to judge the shooting on a few glimpses from a trailer. So let’s do it anyway: The ground-level gun bits seem a tiny bit floaty to me. The many, many explosions are promising, but I hope they don’t mean the regular bullet spewing parts will be neglected. You’ve gotta get your mundane infantry bits feeling good in a combined arms shooter. That’s your bread.
Exomecha is due in the second half of 2021, coming to PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. You can sign up to its mailing list at itsofficial site.
