Play Hawken

Hawken is actually one of my personal favorite free to play titles from this year’s Gamescom. It’s an online mech combat game with lots of crazy explosive action and fast paced gameplay that immediately sets the game apart from other mech-based titles on the market. Visually the game is just gorgeous and we can’t wait to play more.

If there’s a typical image of what a free-to-play game should look like, Hawken takes that preconception and smashes it with a giant robotic fist. This gorgeous and highly detailed mech combat game allows you to customize a walking death machine and then go at it against other similarly equipped mechs online.

You really have to see Hawken in action to fully appreciate its class-based dynamics and visual identity, so consider yourself among the lucky ones if you were able to get some hands-on time with it in Cologne.

Hawken doesn’t just have the looks that won it so much attention when it was first revealed, it has an extremely satisfying deathmatch core.
