When the rogue planet soared right through our solar system, scientists predicted two possible outcomes - either earth would be destroyed, or turn into a hellhole.
Well, I guess we were lucky.
Rogue Mech is an isometric Mecha game where you'll do a lot more than fight other mechs - You trade, hack, dig, plant, loot, upgrade, sneak, free prisoners, and maybe chuckle about the dark humor. If you like games that don't take themselves and their scenario too serious while still providing a good, deep challenge - hit that wishlist button.
Find, loot, repair and upgrade sweet stuff for your modular, fusion-powered weapons platform called Phoenix.
Of course, you can also strategically remove those extras from enemy Phoenix'...
When the havoc reached its peak, hardly anyone was able to keep their sanity. But some retained at least part of their humanity.
Rogue Mech takes place in a randomized wasteland where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are a daily occurrence. You control Tasha, a renegade with a heart of gold (or rather silver). She is trapped in this area surrounded by deadly artifacts, together with ruthless militias and a bunch of mad punks with bad teeth and rocket launchers.
No one has a clue if the situation outside would be any better. But Tasha knows that her family will be there - if they survived.
Not everyone is an enemy, and you will not get far if you shoot everything on sight. There are defectors just like you roaming the land. While they are not always friendly, they might have advice, something to trade, or even assist you in an assault on a militia outpost.
Do you remember how green the world was? I surely do. Boy, was it green.
Your ultimate goal is to find a way out of this prison formed by artifacts from the passing gas giant. Whatever those are, no one has gotten near one and lived to talk about it. But getting out is a distant dream. For the time being, we need to learn how to survive inside.
We will soon run out of canned food and bottled water. Our only chance is to somehow grow something edible in a dead world. But one cannot do it alone. So set up a cozy home base, find allies among the wasteland dwellers, protect them and watch them harvest your crops.
As a nice side effect, they will help you maintaining your Phoenix. If you can find some raw materials. And machinery. And fuel to operate them. There is a lot to do.
Better get going.
Note: This game is played with mouse and keyboard. Controller support may be added at a later date.
