Secure your invention with braces and congratulations, you've made a plank of wood with wheels. Blocks can be selected from a handy tab menu and snapped onto another block to attach them with a satisfying "clink" sound, and effortlessly removed with a quick undo. These tasks are simple to start with, but soon enough they escalate into increasingly elaborate requests from navigating minefields to decimating an entire fort or even stealing a prized possession such as a massive sword.īuilding a contraption in Besiege is intuitive thanks to a flexible construction system that's easy to use yet difficult to master. Most of the time, they'll end in utter chaos because of the sheer freedom granted to you from right from the beginning of every level.Įach one you barge into always begins in the simplest of fashions, with a suspended cube in front of an obstacle lying ahead that's just begging for you to give it a function, a purpose, a way to complete the challenge and move on to beat the next one.

Instead of figuring out rocket science, however, you'll be creating plenty of self-designed quixotic machines to complete a series of different tasks across four kingdoms. You'll probably experience a lot of memorably absurd moments like this in Besiege too, a physics-based siege builder similar to the likes of Kerbal Space Program. After taking a moment to witness this colossal failure and rebuild my self-confidence, it was back to the drawing board. Those balloons I attached were pathetic at lifting weight, causing the flamecopter to plummet straight towards the ground and light a kamikaze cow on fire.
128 blocks of wood, 15 balloons, dozens of braces, several flamethrowers, and a quick moment to admire my genius and I was finally ready to roast my enemies alive - if it had worked, of course. Perhaps a few more death blades would do? Maybe I should add some armour as well? To be fair, it would go nicely with the extra rockets. Starting with a basic frame, I used all sorts of blocks and gizmos to improve it from snapping pistons onto giant mechanical arms that could spin at any speed to putting a sundry of spikes on top for a cool look. I realised this after getting tasked with wiping out four wooden airships that were armed to the teeth with massive cannons for protection, along with an army of moody self-destructive cattle running around below for good measure.įueled by the ridiculous conundrum ahead I set off to work, scheming from a massive range of possibilities to create my magnum opus a flying flamecopter. Besiege is probably the most accurate digital depiction of what's happening inside a mechanic's head when they're scheming up various clever ways to fix and destroy everything around them that has ever been released - so far at least.
