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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EXOLOPER at none against Space Arena's shown. EXOLOPER also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (72% vs 54%). Space Arena's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 78) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Arena sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and EXOLOPER sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Arena holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Arena has 18K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Space Arena's written reviews are positive against 72% of EXOLOPER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Space Arena ships an update monthly, EXOLOPER every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
