Hawken is a first-person shooter from developer Adhesive Games where players control giant robots on a futuristic battlefield. On the spectrum of mech games, Hawken is closer to Armored Core than Mechwarrior with a large focus on mobility and boosting. The game has 5 game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Missile Assault, Siege, and Coop Bot Destruction. Most of these are self-explanatory with Missile Assault being a control point mode and Coop being a wave based horde mode. Siege is a little different, requiring players collect energy from points on the map and return it to their base in order to launch a battleship. When battleships are launched, teams must fight over control of a central Anti Air turret which will shoot down the enemy battleship and start the process anew. The game is also run on a Free-to-Play model where players can use two types of currency: Hawken Credits and Meteor Credits. The first is earned by playing the game and can be used to buy Mechs and equipment. The second can be bought with real money and used for most of the same as the first but also allows you to get cosmetic items and XP boosts. For a more in-depth look check out my video.
