I’m sexy in a mech and I know it

Young and old, male or female, we all want to get our mech on. It’s the sexiest machine known to mankind, and with Adhesive Games, free-to-play mech shooter, HAЩʞEN, we can all strut our stuff the mech way.

It’s been a while since I’ve reported on the much anticipated, strategy, first-person shooter hybrid, HAЩʞEN. Since the date is nearing for all the beta players to lock and load, I want to remind South African gamers to jump in on the fun. But first, have a look at this gameplay trailer for a peek of some adrenaline-pumping Hawken action.

The HAЩʞEN world

• Join eight other mech warriors in the hunt for resources on a dystopian human-colonized planet, industrialized to the point of collapse.
• Players will have to outwit, outmanoeuvre and outshoot the opposing mech team in order to claim control over the map.
• Mech wars will take place on a total of eight unique maps, two of these are post-apocalyptic city, close quarter brawls and wide expanse desert type encounters.
• Four game modes are planned for release: team deathmatch, free-for-all deathmatch, "siege" and a co-op “Horde” mode.
• Players can choose between three different mechs; light, medium and heavy, each with its own unique purpose and attributes.
• Each mech can be customized to fit your unique player style.
• Hawken runs on the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), which promises a cutting-edge game engine.
• Hawken supports the Oculus Rift. Owners of this innovative gaming toy will be able to look around the exclusive cockpit interior, as well as get a more three dimensional sense of the battlefield.
• The game is free-to-play, enlist for a beta entry here. 

The MWEB GameZone team challenges you!

Except for Brad (who is still recovering from our Team Fortress stint), the entire GameZone team will be playing HAЩʞEN. We invite the MWEB community to come take us on, if you dare. Just a warning, the GameZone team features not one, but two kick-ass mech lady warriors. I have a mech called Lola, and then the lady of rockets and rails,Stephanie “Panda_Jerk” Duchenne, who is now my side kick in this male infested industry will join in the fun.

HAЩʞEN release for PC on December 12. For the unenlightened ones who have not yet seen the HAЩʞEN Web series trailer, feast your eyes on this.
