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.
