Assault Gunners HD Edition

About

Assault Gunners HD Edition casts you as a commander piloting giant mechs to quell a robotic rebellion on Mars. Set in the late 21st century, you lead the DAT force through 35 missions blending on-foot shooting and mech combat. The story follows a terraformed Mars colony collapsing under an ANTS uprising, requiring you to balance base defense, rescue ops, and all-out battles. A separate horde mode called Inferno Mode extends the action across five maps with escalating waves of enemies. The game stands out for its deep customization options letting you tweak weapons, armor, and abilities for your main mech and three allies. With over 100 possible builds and a standalone campaign that avoids bloat, it offers solid replay value. Though 2018’s release date means it’s showing some age, the straightforward action and tactical depth still resonate with mech fans.
