Blockstorm Brings Mecha Vehicles

If you've yet to play the multiplayer PvP FPS voxel-created game Blockstorm, then surely that's because it was lacking in pilotable mechs. Well, no longer!

With the most recent update, mechs have been brought into the game! If you've already purchased the game, you can follow these simple instructions on how to get one:

The mecha is engaged in the following way:

- first, the user should find an engage platform in the map;

- then, by walking over it, players request a mecha

- a countdown will start and the player could leave the platform and continue play;

such countdown will be decreased faster if, meanwhile, the player kills any enemy;

- when the countdown is over, the player should return to the engage platform, here you can choose a mecha (including a custom mecha, previously authored using the editor

With three weapons (minigun, rockets & a terrain-smashing fist), high speed, high armour and jump-jets, you will be forgiven for thinking this is the next MechWarrior game! The mecha will even self-destruct once it receives too much damage! So, remember to eject.

What's more, the latest update has now opened up the option for anyone to run their own server! You can follow this community guide, if you're interested in doing that.
