Airmech, A Free to Play MOBA Action RTS remake of Herzog Zwei

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 21:13:31 +0530

AirMech is a Fast-Paced Action RTS game, which bears a striking resemblance to Herzog Zwei. Best of all its Free to Play. With only cosmetics costing real life cash.

AirMech is a departure from traditional RTS games in several ways :

First, you control an Airmech, think of this as a champion from League of Legends, you can not just fight other Airmechs, you can also transform into a robot and get down to the action.

Second, you can fight alongside the units you create be it tanks, rocket trucks or artillery, this puts lots of focus on skills and strategy rather than on just one.

Your aim in the game is to destroy the opponent’s fortress (like a nexus on League of Legends) on the way you can capture outposts which give you map control and can heal you, also you can carry units from there as well.

This game is currently available on Windows, with Linux version coming soon (Mac port available after Linux) also they even have working prototypes of the game on Android. If you’re currently on Mac or Linux, and can’t wait for the port then you can download the Chrome version (Native Client) but the problem is that the Chrome version can’t play alongside the PC version due to a compiler issue Along with the PC version, the game is also available on Steam, although they haven’t released it publicly, you can buy the beta bundle which gives you access to the Steam version and almost all in-game content including cosmetics and units.

This game has also been reviewed by HuskyStarcraft and ChimneySwift

Google will keep Android free and open for at least five years:

Well, my take on this is pretty simple. Even though Google is a Big Contributor to Android, it doesn’t have the rights to make it closed source. Well, if it does THAT WOULD SUCK.

So finally looks like the brand new NTP (New Tab Page) has finally landed in the Firefox Beta along with more refined Developer Tools. Personal opinion the developer tools are neat, but nothing beats the Chrome Web Inspector period.
