## What is EXOLOPER?

Exoloper is THE tactical exosuit combat simulator, designed for iOS, developed by Anchorite.

STEP ON your enemy, literally. Dominate the battlefield in your ten metre tall exosuit armed to the teeth with advanced weaponry and gear. 

TAKE BACK your homeworld from the nefarious COMMONWEALTH by leading a series of ground campaigns. Drive out the enemy from their industrial cities, the barren wastelands, or lush forests.

TEAR DOWN their colonial infrastructure piece by pice using futuristic weaponry in completely destructible environments, across a range of weather times of day.

CONTROL your EXO the way you want with support for all controller types, from onscreen controls with incredible haptics to fully customisable game-controller layouts. Play in Portrait or Landscape, on a big screen or small.

Drop In and take the fight to the ground. Reclaim your homeworld territory by territory.

FINE TUNE your units, swapping out internal and external components, build for speed, stealth or firepower. Express your style by painting up your units.

SALVAGE and scavenge your way across the campaign, but remember to extract if the mission goes pear shaped. Better to with something than to die and lose everything. 

CONTINUE the fight, picking up where you left off last from wherever you need with full iCloud save support.

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2026-07-12*

I really love this game — it brings me so much joy. The mechs are incredibly cool, and the atmosphere is brilliantly built. The out-of-battle progression system feels somewhat like Escape from Tarkov, and this type of gameplay really keeps me focused and engaged.

However, the game does have some flaws. First, the map difficulty should be selectable by players. Right now, the way ranking works makes climbing the ranks feel like a purely negative thing — players should be able to choose what difficulty they want to play on, and the weapon drop rates could be adjusted accordingly.

Also, there are too few maps in the game. More maps should be added, and preferably not just reskins — for example, a desert fortress, a snowfield base, an underground mine, etc. On harder maps, there could even be a boss-fight objective, offering high rewards but also high risk.

I truly love this game, and I'll definitely recommend it to my friends. I hope the developer keeps up the great work and continues to update the game — keep it up!

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-06-29*

I like it but I don’t feel like buying all of it so I Just play 30 mins a day but it is good maybe add a free mode that is 25% of the payed mode’s coolness like a longer trial but doesn’t run out of battles (note I have a top 3 of mech games and this game just needs more free stuff to get on my top 3 list) so good luck with it (Tip don’t mute the game at the start get lots of players and then mute it) and by mute I mean adding more payments good luck with your game

### 5/5 — Why I hate this game

*2026-06-06*

I hate this game because it is making me SAD due to how little attention it has gotten, PLEASE play it.

### 4/5 — Mein Lieblingsspiel aber…

*2026-03-21*

Ich liebe dieses Spiel über alles aber ich kann in das Spiel nicht mehr rein wegen einen Fehlermeldung weil das Spiel kaputt ist

### 5/5 — 10/10 Mechs on Mobile

*2026-03-19*

Tried for free, bought the expansion, awesome game. 

Feels like MechWarrior/Battletech adapted well to mobile. Little unstable. In-game text gives vague ideas for what items do - mostly learn by testing. Great iconography. Great variety of gear. Looking forward to more Exosuits.

### 5/5 — Stompy mech goodness

*2025-11-13, version 1.1*

Quite possibly one of the best games I’ve played on iOS, the feedback with vibration and visuals feels so visceral. The game is pretty intricate with some fun systems that work well together. Can see myself getting stuck into it for a good while!

### 5/5 — Add a new exo please too hard to play

*2025-09-20*

Maybe an assault type? Like rare type? It is a military exo that capable of 5 weapons slots, and contain 5 utility slot. It got no arm, but a weapon 360 rotate type. Well it got two leg, the exo cockpit on the right, two light on the front, like a tank does. But rare.

### 5/5 — The only single player mech game on IOS

*2025-09-17*

Amazing. Please buy, rate and beg him for more content.

### 5/5 — I am waiting for the PC-Port

*2025-08-28*

To be honest, at first you have to get used to the controls but it really enjoy the throttle movement now. Campaign seems interesting to play and read through and i am excited to see what this game will evolve to in the future. Great Job!

### 3/5 — Éprouvant/oppressant

*2025-08-27*

Pour ma part j’ai juste commencé le tuto et c’est oppressant comme environnement, les commandes quasi inexistantes et impossibles à contrôler en tout cas sur portable classique, peut-être sur tablette plus intéressant déjà

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1 — 2025-08-01

Daily Runs! More Missiles! New Utilities! Over 50+ Bugfixes! Welcome to Exoloper 1.1!

1.1 Introduces DAILY RUNS!

You'll get access to two attempts at the daily run per day, and the campaign will be picked randomly from any of the campaigns (currently just Croseus and Demeter). Completing a run *in any way* (yes including dying) will add your score to the leaderboards, and scoring here is just how many Commonwealth units have you destroyed. So get out there and wreck some tanks!

IMPORTANT NOTE: 
With version 1.1, Exoloper's pricing model has changed. 

There is now only a single in app purchase to unlock all content, current and future. Anyone who has bought the Demeter DLC will automatically own this content. It additionally contains a brand new Missiles Pack, access to Micro Warp Drives and more. This also means that the Croseus campaign has now been locked behind the unlock. 

Replacing the Croseus Campaign as the free tier of gameplay is the new Daily Run Campaign. 
Additionaly, access to all Epic tier items has now been restricted to the unlock. 

Updates:
- Balance: Increased Croseseus drop weight by 50
- Balance: increase minimum speed a bit (maybe 15?)
- Balance: Tweaked a lot of the damage values throughout the game.

- Map: Military base: added more pathways around the base, removed most of the fuel silos and added more exits.

- Feature: Weapon: Automatic Railgun

### 1.05 — 2025-02-19

Hi all. Another patch today to clear up some of the more major issues. Still trying to figure out some of the missing string issues. 

I've also made things a little better for early gameplay, specifically turning off Commonwealth reinforcement waves when you're in Pilot rank 1. (you can see your rank on the main screen), and adding a visual timer to show when the next wave will appear during combat. 

Feel free to let me know if this helps!

- FIX: BUG: tutorial for add unit came up in difficult decisions.
- FIX: BUG: BUG: DLC info page looks bad in landscape iPhone. 
- Potential fix: BUG: Missing string 'add item'
- Potential fix: CRASH: IAPManager.RestorePurchases()

### 1.04 — 2025-02-14

Another batch of bugfixes and cleanups. 
Notably, in this version I've significantly reduced the level of smoke and debris from various weapon impacts which should make the game more playable across the board.

- FIX: CRASH: Tutorial crashes in edit unit on consecutive runs
- FIX: BUG: IAP Manager falls over when device is offline
- FIX: BUG: UI Falls over if device is offline
- FIX: BUG: when backing out of extraction menu, it leaves an overlay that you have to back out of again

- IMPROVEMENT: Significantly dialed back the amount of smoke and debris during explosions
- IMPROVEMENT: Reduced default sensitivity from 1 to 0.5
- IMPROVEMENT: Reduced default camera shake amount from 1 to 0.75

### 1.03 — 2025-02-14

PSA: Last patch introduced a little issue where the Forest DLC was set to "owned" by default. If you're currently in a forest campaign and haven't bought the DLC, your existing campaign should be fine, but you'll need to buy it proper in the future. 

// 1.03 9031
- FIX: BUG: Error with DLC.
