It´s been 16 years since the last time we got to see a new Heavy Gear title. And that title was Heavy Gear 2 (release back in 1999 via Activision). And due to the fact that i´ve been a fan of the series since the original game (which got released back in 1997), it´s been a very long wait for a new Heavy Gear title. But thanks to Stompy Bot Productions, the wait is finally over.

As “Heavy Gear Assault” is here to rock your socks off! And it´s a worthy rival to both “Titan Fall” and “MechWarrior online“. And i just found out that the “Heavy Gear Assault ” Alpha is back due to popular demand. So that means that you can get your hands on the HGA alpha if you buy any of the available game packs.

Which would be the following:
