Post A cool little indie gem: ENGINE OF WAR
http://akithgames.com/EOW_game.html

This game is HELLA tight. On the skin, it looks like another crappy move with WASD, shoot with mouse game. But if you travel deeper, you fully realize one of the best customization systems EVER.

You literally customize your mech wire by wire, similar to the Wiremod in Gmod. Sounds difficult? well it is. But don't worry, there is a simple solution. A "puzzle" mode introduces the concepts of different possible systems through a non-invasive player discovery means. Trust me, it's tight. They have a 60 minute demo up, and the full game costs $20.

Now for some pix and clix.

Some typical views of the carnage.

This is what your mech will start out as...

...it will continue to grow...

...until you finally have a near fully automated mech.

Sooo... yeah. I had a blast playing the game. I recomend playing the tutorial first, then trying out maybe one or two levels of the story, but the real fun is at the puzzle mode.

So I guess you can discuss the game and post some of your circuits here.

EDIT: Oh hehe... here is the link:

I do love a thread without a link to the game. Looks pretty sweet otherwise.

WANT. NAO. LINK.
Also, this looks pretty damned awesome, if not only for reminding me a lot of Crimsonland :P
But seriously, please put up a link, or else i'll fire the Google Cannon.
Looks schweet though.

Yea this game isn't worth the money. Its a nice addictinggames-esque thing, but no where near something to buy.

...Sure...

It appears that the final puzzle is "impossible." I must play it to find out just how "impossible."

Downloaded fine, Icon shows up, click on it, loads fine, comes up as a blank window then crashes.

Which is a shame because I seem to be the only person interested in this.
