Meco Rocket Simulator

I love this game! it is the first software i could find that gives you access to this kind of rocket simulation thats not blocked to the greater public. although it is a steep learning curve, there is a great community around it and plenty of people willing to help.

MATLAB with anime girls. Interesting in concept, but needs math or equations section that explains how the numbers relate to each other.

If you have an interest in the design and function of rocket engines this is the game for you! Complicated and in-depth, this game is closer to a simulation software than a video game, and tackles the complex principles and math behind propulsion engineering. Included with the game are a set of wonderful missions that do a great job of steadily explaining both the game's complex tool set, and the intricacies of rocket motor design in an easily digestible and bite sized fashion. All you need is to bring a passion for engineering and rocketry; and you too will soon be talking about mass flow rates, chamber pressures, and specific impulse before long!

As an engineering student I really enjoyed it, it covers some complex topics that really make me think and learn. I'd definitely recommend it!

I am very exited for the full game, play tested a bit and i don't find it complete yet. The Beginning is to step by step following a tutorial and not finding out yourself in my opinion, Also i would love even more tooltips on what the components exactly are you are placing (I don't find the names explanatory enough and the tutorial on this matter is a little thin). Else wise the details and toot tips for the science itself goes definitely in a direction i would enjoy But definitely will buy when the game is out of EA.

Where this is right now, I think it's closer to a demo included when you back a Kickstarter than an Early Access game. The main problem is that the tutorials only cover like 1/4 of the game mechanics, and for the rest your only real option is to look at the demo engines and try to teach yourself rocket science, which is not exactly a gentle learning curve. There's also quite a bit of UI jank and the tutorials are mediocre. But yeah, if you're sticking with the tutorials, there's like 2–3 hours of gameplay currently. That said, once I can actually understand how this game works, it looks like a lot of fun, and I'm fairly optimistic that in the future it can become an amazing game, especially if we get features like a career mode or exporting engines into KSP or things like that. As for realism, it's missing a cap on how thin/light/smooth you can make things, it only has a few propellant options so you can't mess around with HTP or hypergolics, you have to figure out for yourself if you've accidentally built an engine-rich cycle, and there's no real ignition/starting option, but it (presumably accurately) simulates things like valves and cooling and flow rates and combustion.
