Hawken (video game) Hawken is a multiplayer mech combat video game developed by Adhesive Games. The game focuses on creating an intense battle experience that captures the feel of piloting a mech and includes fast-paced strategic action. The game will feature four modes: team deathmatch, free-for-all, and two unique modes. It currently follows the freemium model of game monetization with in-game purchases as the source of revenue. The open beta of the game was released on December 12, 2012. After transitioning to Steam, as of February 2014, Hawken has been undergoing an early access phase leaving new users of Hawken to wait until the end of Q1 of 2014 before creating a new account with the exception of buying a pilot license key from an early access bundle.
In an interview with G4, Khang Le, the Creative Director, stated that Adhesive Games had found a publisher which was Meteor Entertainment.
Gameplay Hawken is a mech-based first-person shooter. The game takes place in a dystopian human-colonized planet industrialized to the point of collapse, in which the hunt for resources has become a battle for survival.[4] The player assumes the role of a battle mech pilot, armed with cannon-like weaponry. Unlike many other first-person shooters, weapons will not require ammunition but are prone to overheat. Overheating will shut down all weapons of the mech, forcing the player to find a safe place to recover. It will be possible to choose weapons and upgrades for all mech types to match a play-style or role in a match. In combat, the player will be able to side dash, boost, and make 180° turns to compensate for the slow movements of the mech, which will in turn deplete the fuel gauge rapidly.[5] Turrets are also featured in the game as two types: stationary and placeable. Stationary turrets will be aligned to the team which activates the turret, while placeable turrets can be picked up and placed around the map by anyone.

Been playing this with a couple of my members lately, it's really good. Reminds me of a fast paced MechWarrior, can get grindy though
