Besiege

Besiege is a sandbox built on the real laws of physics, where the action takes place in a medieval world. The player receives an arsenal of parts for assembling machines and mechanisms. The parts are connected in any sequence, so the building turns out exactly as the author intended it. Individual levels can be replayed with another car, and the solution changes on the fly. Siege weapons capable of demolishing a village or fortress are assembled from wood, wheels, pistons and explosives. The problem is usually formulated simply, but the path to the solution can be completely unexpected. Tasks require both calculation and ingenuity: in some places you need speed, in others you need a cunning detour through mountains of rubble. The design is stored in drawings, so successful models are easy to copy. Each level tests the design: somewhere you need to get over a chasm, somewhere to crush a line of soldiers, and somewhere to survive under fire. An unsuccessful assembly literally falls to pieces. A sandbox without goals allows you to test any fantasy, including completely absurd machines. Some players compete in accuracy of assembly, others in speed. The workshop allows you to share inventions, and updates have expanded the range of parts and levels. Improvements unlock new parts, and technical updates have added conveniences like copying components. For anyone who likes to build and watch it break, this workshop is perfect. The community releases entire assemblies with weapons and maps, and some projects turn into separate games.
