About Mech Engineer

✦ AI summary

Mech Engineer puts you in command of a squad of customized mechs, where you'll obsess over every technical detail from reactor output to weapon calibration while managing pilots and base resources. Deploy your finely-tuned machines into tactical battles against mutating aliens, where your engineering decisions and real-time combat orders determine whether your squad survives to escape a ruined Earth.

Mech Engineer is a mech lover’s dream come true: you will oversee every aspect of your squad's operation, from optimizing the reactors to fine-tuning weapons systems. Carefully tweak and balance each mech's weight, energy, and heat systems to maximize efficiency.

The skills and emotional state of each pilot also play an important role, along with the effective management of your base and resources. You will deploy your finely calibrated and tuned machines onto missions, where your decisions during semi-auto battles (with active pause) against a mutating alien bio-weapon will mean life or death.

First, start assembling your mechs

You start with the reactor: increase its power output by selecting pistons and injectors, while adding auxiliary components to keep the core temperature down. Consider all the factors, like the temperature of the environment you will deploying in; overheating can lead to a shutdown in the middle of a battle, not ideal.

Second, prepare your weapons

Customize your weapons and test them in the simulator: rate of fire, weight, energy consumption, accuracy, and firepower. Consider the enemies you will encounter and how fast you will be expending ammunition.

Third, finalize your mechs

Weight and available energy are the main concerns when assembling your machines; strategize and carefully consider the trade-offs relative to enemies and the terrain.

Fourth, choose your pilots

Even the most effective combat machine will perform poorly if the pilot is not skilled enough or sufficiently rested. Stress is a killer as much as those nasty bugs.

Fifth, combat time!

Give your brave pilots a position or attack orders and watch them try to survive performing it.
Explore the ruins of the destroyed world, avoiding enemy bases and dangerous monsters, to find all the shuttle parts and leave the Earth.

✦ AI summary

Mech Engineer offers a unique and compelling gameplay loop that appeals to niche audiences, but suffers from poor onboarding, opaque mechanics, and a steep difficulty curve that can frustrate new players. The game requires significant time investment and external research to understand basic systems, though players who persist through the learning phase often find it rewarding and special. Most reviewers suggest it's worth experiencing if you enjoy complex, unconventional strategy games, but only if you're patient with a rough introduction.

The game felt like it had it all. But the further you get into it, the more garbage it becomes. -The priority target do not work. -In a town of 10.000 people, there is only room for 1 person in school, and 2 people in the hospital. -The menues is a terrible mess of going back and forth 100 times to find what you need. -The autosave punishes you extremely hard, for trying to figure out the game, that you are forced to figure out. -Nothing is explained, to the point that i played 20 hours without knowing basic but highly important things. -Also game difficulty goes from 1 to 100 with no ladder in between. Killing surface aliens is no problem, but forget about every killing aliens in lairs. -I probably spent 50% of my playtime just googeling how the hell things workes. Then, after 20 hours of this mess, i accidentally click new game by mistake, quit back out to the menu, and the autosave completely wiped my progress... What a complete joke of a game...

I'm certain that once I have the gist of it I'd do well with this game, but the game is too opaque to easily get going.

Had completed the game in past and now playing again, I have noticed how difficult game is. Very clunky and punishing, however... It has very special style and gameplay loop, that you dont find vey often in games today. If you like to badge your head in trying to understand unique mechanics - that game is for your.

I don't understand much, but I'm glad games like these exists, its for a niche audience and I can't fault it for it, if you like games like this you will enjoy this one. Complicated and hard.
Recommended Sep 9, 2026
Absolutely amazing game once you get over the beginning learning curve (which if you actually read is not that bad). Really deserves to be far more popular than it is.

Great Game 10/10

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
