Can’t play Titanfall? Play these games instead!

Instead of worrying about the Titanfall game you can’t have, let’s see what else we can play instead.

Games with similar gameplay traits and action-packed multiplayer. These do include jumping in a mech and blowing other mechs to pieces – they aren’t Titanfall, but you may be surprised at how much fun they are nonetheless.

Hawken (Steam PC)

Hawken is a free-to-play multiplayer mech shooter developed by Adhesive. The game features giant mechs shooting and dodging projectiles controlled by other mechs. You also get nifty turrets that will help you along with destroying your opponent. The game is full of explosions, cannons, and in-game purchases.

You do not get ammunition but your guns will overheat with excessive use. Your mech is not the fastest machine around but the gameplay relies on dodging, slide dashing, and quick turn abilities to compensate for this.

The game features a few game modes; Team Deathmatch, Free-for-All Deathmatch, and Co-Op bot destruction. Hawken has won over 20 E3 awards and is probably the closest game to match Titanfall on this list.

MechWarrior Online (Windows PC)

MechWarrior Online hasn’t been out for that long, and joins the list of Free-to-Play mech shooters.

Take the role of MechWarrior and pilot your BattleMech against 12 players, blow them to pieces, earn XP and C-Bills for purchases and upgrades.

The game is simple enough to get straight into, and the game modes are something we have all experienced before.

Protect your base against enemies while destroying theirs, and capture and hold certain points on the map. MechWarrior Online is the mech shooter for those who don’t want things to be complicated.

Earth Defence Force 2025 (Xbox 360, PS3)

This reasonably new game isn’t free-to-play nor a massive multiplayer game, but it does feature gigantic mechs destroying hordes of oversized insects and other gigantic mechs.

The game is as over-the-top as it gets with huge ants wreaking havoc on an innocent city, and huge spiders spinning a web between two skyscrapers.

The game features 5 difficulty levels, 4 different classes, and Dragons – yes, Dragons. This is as crazy as a Japanese shooter can get, squashing huge Bees and Spiders, while completely destroying a city with your mech’s rockets and lasers.

It might not Titanfall, but it’s still an action-packed mech shooter, with the emphasis on action.

Armored Core Verdict Day (PS3, Xbox 360)

Unlike previous Armored Core titles, Verdict Day has a strong focus on multiplayer, in which three factions fight to the death over natural resources.

The game features the ability to tailor and create your own mech, the customization options are quite expansive and creates a game in itself. Once you have your powerhouse you then join a team and pledge your allegiance to them. When you win or lose a match with the team the outcome will affect your standing.

The game does feature over 60 single player missions which really do not contain any great set pieces, but they are entertaining at the least.

Armored Core: Verdict Day is a great mech shooter with amazing customization options and could be considered as a Titanfall replacement.
