If you prefer the mouse aiming, you might also like Teeworlds.

Btw, we thought and discussed about adding mouse aim to OpenLieroX, and we even had a prototype. But the community outraged about it and that was basically a complete new game, so they don't wanted to allow that you could network together with mouse aim and without because of unfair advantages. In the end we gave up and just did not implement mouse aim.

Soldat 2 is in the works https://store.steampowered.com/app/474220/Soldat_2/

FINALLY some good news in 2020! Looking forward to this one very much!

I suggest sticking a bit with liero, it takes a bit to get used to the controls but it's so much fun once you get it!

Liero was one of Soldat's inspirations.

As somebody who "squandered" countless joyful hours playing both Liero and Soldat, I can say Soldat is a much more fun game with its mouse-driven controls (and right-click jetback).

I recommend playing Soldat's Capture The Flag mode with around 5 player a side. Some of the most enjoyable gaming moments. Such a great game. And free! (though later in life I registered to give back to the dev)

I haven't yet had a chance to play the recently released Soldat 2 demo yet! :)
