Experience Earthsiege 2, developed by Dynamix and published by Sierra On-Line in 1996. Earthsiege 2 is a futuristic mech combat game set in the larger Metaltech universe, placing players in command of heavily armed Hercs during the war against the Cybrids. Players pilot customizable walking machines across battlefield missions, choosing weapons, managing armor, engaging enemy units, and completing tactical objectives. The core loop centers on selecting a Herc, configuring loadouts, reading mission briefings, fighting through enemy forces, and bringing resources back to improve future combat options. Its blend of simulation-style mech control, campaign progression, and sci-fi war storytelling gives Earthsiege 2 a strong place among mid-1990s PC combat titles.
The design roots of Earthsiege 2 connect closely to MechWarrior and BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception, both of which helped define the appeal of piloted machines, loadout planning, and tactical armored combat. It also builds from the earlier Earthsiege, expanding the series with stronger presentation, refined missions, and a broader sense of future warfare. Later games such as Starsiege and MechWarrior 3 carried forward similar ideas of customizable machines, battlefield objectives, and weighty mechanized combat. The throughline is the fantasy of commanding a powerful war machine while still needing careful movement, weapon management, and mission discipline. Earthsiege 2 stands out as an important step between early mech combat simulations and the later, more cinematic sci-fi war games of the genre.
For collectors, Earthsiege 2 pairs naturally with Earthsiege, Starsiege, and MissionForce: CyberStorm as part of Sierra’s broader Metaltech and Cybrid-war lineage. It also displays well alongside MechWarrior 2, Heavy Gear, and Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri for a shelf focused on mechanized combat and futuristic PC warfare. The Sierra and Dynamix connection gives it added relevance beside other classic simulation and action-simulation releases from the 1990s. Its jewel case format also makes it a useful companion piece for collectors building both boxed and smaller-format PC runs. For a collection centered on mech combat, sci-fi warfare, or Sierra’s simulation catalog, Earthsiege 2 fills an important and recognizable slot.
