Are you in the mood for some thrilling robot action? If the answer is yes, today might just make your day. Steel Hunters has just entered the Early Access phase! This game merges the thrill of extraction shooter mechanics with the adrenaline rush of battle royales, making it a perfect treat for mecha enthusiasts in search of their next gaming fix.
Steel Hunters comes from the talented team at Wargaming, who are well-known for their work on titles like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. This time around, they’ve taken a leap into a new arena, opting for the mechanized warfare space, while retaining that strategic depth they’re famous for.
Upon its Early Access release, players can dive in with seven unique Hunters, which are basically the game’s version of mechs. Plus, they’re planning to introduce a brand new Hunter during this Early Access period. With three diverse maps to explore, a battle pass for progression, and the assurance that progress won’t be reset upon full release, now is an excellent moment to plunge into this new universe.
It seems like the stars are aligning for fans of the mechanical world. Just a while back, we saw the open beta of Mecha Break, which took a distinct approach to mecha gameplay, reminiscent of the classic Gundam series. In contrast, Steel Hunters opts for a more earthy, realistic feel, both in gameplay and design.
If Steel Hunters piques your interest, why wait? It’s available on PC right now, ready for you to jump in. Once you’ve had a chance to play, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share your experiences with us!
