Overview
Description

In Battle Engine Aquila you command a powerful Battle Engine that can walk across terrain or take to the skies, wielding a suite of destructive weapons to turn the tide of war. The game pits the Forseti against the Muspell in a world where rising oceans have erased much of the land, making every battle a fight for survival. The experience blends shooter, simulator, and action elements in a sci‑fi setting, offering both single‑player and multiplayer modes—including co‑op and split‑screen—so you can shape the war’s outcome alone or with friends.

Set in the 31st‑century BattleTech universe, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf puts you in the cockpit of iconic mechs like the stealthy Raptor and the BattleArmor‑equipped suits. Follow Major Natalia "Nat" Kerensky on Dante City as you fend off Stiletto assaults, infiltrate enemy ports, and battle for the Lostech blueprints. The game offers a new single‑player campaign filled with story‑driven missions and an online multiplayer arena that supports split‑screen co‑op, letting you team up or clash with friends in intense mech‑to‑mech combat.
