Hawken

About

Hawken drops you into the cockpit of a hulking war machine in a gritty futuristic conflict. You blast through destructible environments with railguns, missiles, and plasma cutters while juggling mech mobility and weapon loadouts. The single player campaign offers a linear story wrapped in chaotic firefights but the real draw is the multiplayer. Compete in objective-based modes or team deathmatches with up to 12 players. Co-op lets you link up for smaller scale battles. The mech customization system stands out with over 500 possible loadout combinations. Players tweak armor plating weapon types and movement systems to suit playstyles. Since launch on PC and consoles in 2012 the game has maintained a dedicated player base through regular updates. The frantic pace and explosive set pieces make each match feel like a blockbuster action sequence. Destroying enemy mechs with well-placed shots or using terrain to your advantage adds layers of strategy beneath the chaos.
