Story:Earthsiege 2 is a mecha-style vehicle simulation game developed by Dynamix, produced by Frank Evers (NYPH), and released in 1996. Earthsiege 2 is set in the Earthsiege universe, which contains its predecessors Earthsiege (1994) and Battledrome (1995), as well as the action game Hunter Hunted (1996), strategy games MissionForce: CyberStorm (1997) and Cyberstorm 2: Corporate Wars (1998), simulation Starsiege (1999), and first-person shooters Starsiege: Tribes (1999), Tribes 2 (2001), Tribes Aerial Assault (2002), Tribes: Vengeance (2004) and Tribes: Ascend (2012). As a simulation, Earthsiege 2 gives players the opportunity to pilot massive bipedal war machines known as HERCULANs (Humaniform-Emulation Roboticized Combat Unit with Leg-Articulated Navigation) (or 'HERCs' for short). Set in the 26th or 27th century, Earthsiege 2 features advanced weapons and technology for waging war. Earthsiege 2 takes place across North America, South America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the moon. Earthsiege 2 features a more advanced engine than Earthsiege, increasing the game's maximum resolution to 640*480. Additionally, the game features much more detailed terrain than its predecessor. Earthsiege 2 has 3D rolling terrain rather than the flat landscape of Earthsiege. Furthermore, video briefings and debriefings, along with included squadmate voices, add to the atmosphere of the game.Show more

Wow, when writing another one of those I start discovering that atmosphere of the game is one of the most important things for me :) So this one also had a great atmosphere! It was a freebie added to CD-Action magazine, first game about mechs I played and I loved it! You could really feel that you're inside this giant, heavy robot crossing endless desert in search of enemies. I also remember I loved the guy from the mission briefings. In early 90s movies and cartoons about giant robots were still a thing and I guess that game allowed me to finally feel like Daimos or some other Robot Jox ;)

I remember coming out of Mechwarrior 2 and wanting something similar yet was its own thing. In came Earthsiege 2, included as a CD in a magazine and boy do I remember it fondly! The lore itself, while seemingly basic, grabbed me and the briefings with General Gerling as FMVs, much like the Command & Conquer series,helped me immerse in this struggle against the Cybrids. Failure during the campaign doesn't always lead to a game over but it will generally cut you off from acquiring a new piece of technology, whether it's a new weapon or a herc (how the robots are called here). Dual plasma cannons on the Razor is so OP though!
I've always loved the lore of this series, and the gameplay of controlling one of these is an itch no other game has scratched. Movement was weighty, the weapons sounded great (at the time), it's a memorable piece of my childhood.

This is it! This is the Mecha style game that got me into big stompy robot games for decades to come. I played this game over more then a few times. The story is very straight forward but the upgrade system and weapons loadouts and the ability to build bigger Hercs and pilot recruiting was very easy and straight forward but still took some planning and the game play was just next level especially for the time. Definitely trying to compete with other mech games like Mechwarrior 2 but this was still a fantastic game and I would love to play it again!

Such an awesome game. Wandering the landscape with your team of HERCs, taking down Cybrids. All the upgrades. The weapons. Those live-action briefings. So cool. And seeing chunks fly off your enemies as you zap them with a laser. So engaging. Was never quite skilled enough as a kid to complete the game though. Would love the opportunity to try again!

Hab mir damals mal das Paket Gold Games 2 geholt wo es mit dabei war. Hab das Spiel gesuchtet weil es Hammer Geil ist. Hab bisher nur wenige Spiele gefunden die da mithalten konnten was die Vielfalt an verschiedenen Missionen sowie deren möglichen Lösungen angeht. Ich find es auch gut das eine vergeigte Mission nicht automatisch das Ende bedeutet.

I saw this for rental at my local store. Yes you could rent PC games back then. I had never played mechwarrior. This was my first real exposure to giant robots fighting. I loved every moment. I've been wanting to replay it ever since.

I remember playing this game with a joystick and it was so immersive these days. I would like to play it again. Maybe there is the original CD somewhere hidden in my flat :-D

I loved Mechwarrior and Earthsiege when I was a child. But Earthsiege2 felt just amazingly different to Mechwarrior. The fact that you had a lot of choices for different kinds of weapons felt different, and I remember playing this late at night when I discovered that game literally gave you a ruddy plane, not just combat walkers. I was dumbfounded. And there I was, flying the Razor into battle, showering Cybrans with plasma cannon fire from the sky. The game felt insane. Weapons looked and felt like they really packed some oomph. Nothing better to impress a 10 year old than seeing the destruction on the enemey when you slowly explode them with electron flux.

This was first PC game that made me a gamer. I would still play, but it require retro PC. I would play remake, remaster, or just version updated to work with windows 10 and 11.
