In June of last year Illogical Games unveiled their take on the popular battle royale genre with a game they called Mecha Royale Online. They gathered up some beta testers from our forums and for the next several months development was chugging along. Then Apple did a very Apple thing and rejected the submitted version of Mecha Royale Online because the game was apparently a rip off of? Mecha Royale Online. Yes, Apple somehow decided that Illogical’s own game was a copy of itself, and rejected their submission over and over again. It took another several months and a name change to MekaRoyale Online before Apple finally accepted the game and it became available for pre-order in early January. It launched later that month, but its woes didn’t end there, as the game was plagued with a lot of technical issues that killed the launch buzz and enthusiasm of early players. Although Illogical has been dutifully updating and fixing those issues in the months since, it seemed to be too little too late for a game that revolved around an engaged player community. However, Illogical doesn’t want all of their work to go to waste, and they know they have a solid game that never saw its full potential, so they’re going to give it a second chance. They’re relaunching it under the new name Meka Hunters, and as you can see in this new trailer the game now takes on a third-person perspective as opposed to the top-down perspective of the original game.
