AirMech a Modern Take on Herzog Zwei (Genesis)

Post by shwisha »

I just learned about Herzog Zwei this year and couldn't believe that gem got past me all these years. One of my biggest hang ups with typical RTS games is the whole APM (Actions Per Minute) part... I don't got time to learn how to do 100 actions per minute... what I liked about Herzog Zwei is it had the Strategy of a game like Starcraft but simplified to a more arcade action packed formula.

I just started playing AirMech lastnight and it's basically a modern take on the classic title. Definitley worth checking out if you're into that kind of thing.

It's free to play but it doesn't seem like it's really play to win, which I hate.

I could have sworn this got brought up in the PC gaming forum a while ago. It was in closed beta so long I forgot about it, good to hear that it is finally released.

You don't need good APM to beat the Starcraft single player mode.

I'm more interested in multiplayer.
