This game is not for everyone, the UI is obtuse, the tutorial might as well not exist, and everything is extremely punishing. However, if you can make it past those things, this game is incredibly fun and rewarding. I understand that this game isn't for everyone, but if you can deal with a tough start, then you'll have a blast.

Mech Engineers is all about tuning your multi-ton war (crime) machines to perfection and then letting your team of schizophrenic, trigger-happy rat people get in the pilot's seat. Each mission is completed only by praying that the bozo with the equivalent of two nuclear bazookas in his hands doesn't accidentally fire at the wall next to him.

This game was enough of a puzzle to grab me hard. It's also one of the few that has actually made me simply admit defeat with difficulty and put it down. I simply haven't and can't seem to figure out the late game, in part because I can't even tell if my situation is unavoidable. I keep running into a game state where I'm consistently killing three to five titans a turn and still getting flooded to the point that my city gets crushed every time. This hurts because it's the first thing in the game that I haven't been able to solve for. The bottleneck I can't get past is the item production rate in comparison to the number of missions that need to be done in order to make actual progress as opposed to trying to maintain status quo. If you fail to avert a cascade of titans your game is pretty much done - Producing one mech every ~5 days just isn't fast enough, and there's no resource deployment that can increase that speed. In the end this is a game that I can say was to my taste, but I can't recommend for everyone. Most puzzles presented have answers, and if you enjoy finding them than this might be a good game to spend some time on. If figuring things out with minimal feedback isn't your bag, expect to bounce off this game at speed.

XCOM, but the aliens had already easily won and your goal is to fly the remnants of humanity away from Earth. Highfleet, but the enemy is basically Zerg having taken over Earth and irreversibly ruined its climate and ecology. Mechwarrior, but with even more customization and no direct control over any mech. Best game I have played in a very long time.

TL;DR: It's dark. It's difficult. It's different. It won't hold your hand. I haven't won a game yet, but I love every minute of it. the TL part: Mech Engineer brings a very analog feel into the dark sci-fi atmosphere. Every button, switch, and dial has a very tangible, mechanical weightiness to it - almost as if your fingers can feel the textures and resistance behind it. Your choices are important when constructing your squad of mechs. You assemble the engines, regulate the power output and the cooling... You design the weapons, fine tune them for eliminating the repugnant enemies that plague the earth. You must prepare to fight in heat, cold, underwater, and many other unique different theaters of war. You will get enveloped in the dark abyss of a dying humanity using every last resource you have to try and salvage the earth and our species. You also must choose how to repair and prepare the mobile city you command to best survive the every growing threats around you. The depth of the characters and their relations to each other comes into effect with squad efficiency. There are so many variables contributing to what make this game unique, but they are dynamic and keep things difficult and interesting. It's easy to get overconfident in a build, only to realize its useless in a different mission. You are also responsible for your own design flaws (well, I accept that I am, at least). This game will not hold your hand, you will be in for a challenge. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it pays off when you have a highly effective squad of personalized, catered to the last detail, mechs loaded up with crazy weapons. There is immense planning and design strategy, as well as tactical battlefield prowess required to survive missions. I am not yet good at this game, but I love every minute of it. The audio in the game reinforces its' dark nature by bringing a cold, mechanical, despair to the soundscape. The despair is ever-present. You will almost certainly love this game if you are a glutton for punishment, - or maybe i'm just bad at designing mechs? Not mutually exclusive, I suppose.
