AirMech is a revolutionary action-strategy game that puts you in the battle as a giant transforming robot! Forget everything you think you know about real-time strategy (RTS) games, because AirMech puts you directly in command of a powerful transforming robot to dominate the battlefield. From the air, build and position your units anywhere you want. Then instantly transform into robot mode and fight alongside them! Level up to unlock new AirMechs and Units, customizing your army to suit your unique play style.
Join multiplayer games featuring 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 for the ultimate in cooperative team play. Play with friends or be matched against opponents of similar skill level. You can also test your skills in Survival missions with up to four players cooperatively defending against incoming waves of enemies. AirMech combines shooting, strategy, even "tower defense" to create an all-new class of game.

It places you in the cockpit of a transforming aircraft/robot with the ability to lift, carry, and give orders to constructed units in a constant push to capture intermediate outposts and destroy an opposing AirMech's home base. That's pretty much Herzog Zwei, albeit with a much more modern look and a greater wealth of units to build. Oh, and it's free. Read More »
