Besiege

Besiege

Besiege is a physics based building game in which you construct medieval siege engines and lay waste to immense fortresses and peaceful hamlets. Build a machine which can crush windmills, wipe out battalions of brave soldiers and transport valuable resources, defending your creation against cannons, archers and whatever else the desperate enemies have at their disposal. Create a trundling behemoth, or take clumsily to the skies, and cause carnage in fully destructible environments. Ultimately, you must conquer every Kingdom by crippling their castles and killing their men and livestock, in as creative or clinical a manner as possible!

Besiege Review

The game has no storyline and for someone who loves a great story in video games, I didn’t mind the absence of one in Besiege. It’s all about whatever you create and how you complete each mission. You could generate your own story and say that the soldiers you’re killing are like the Empire of Star Wars. It’s up to your imagination!

The game itself is pretty simple; you have a stage, there is an objective which involves getting from one place to another, destroying a specific building or killing all enemies. The part where the challenge comes in is how you would do this and finish a level. Some levels are easy where you would just need to ram a building to advance, but some would require a more complicated machine like destroying a tower wherein the exact distance and lift of a catapult of your design should be precise; otherwise, you would not be able to finish the stage and could not advance to the next level. Again, the understanding on simple tools will get you far, how hinges, springs work is an important part of the game. Having only muscles to finish the game would just not cut it.

Of course not every mission is about destroying or killing people, some missions require you to grab a stack of wood and place it somewhere else or to get to some checkpoints whilst either with soldiers or sheep with explosives (you read that right) attacking you. With missions like these Besiege gives you the tools to provide your creations with enough defence to get through the enemy offensives. While you do get Metal Plates to protect the machine, there isn’t much variety. What would be nice is to have something more creative and have a metal barrier block, which I guess isn’t all that important as you can make one using multiple blocks and metal plates.

Although not yet on its final stage; Besiege is already an interesting game. Even on its Alpha stage, it has all the tools you need for a great game. You could even make your machine indestructible on the options; immediately take a screenshot to share with your friends; and lit everything on fire with just one click away. The machines you have made could be save for future use or improvement. Again, graphics are incredibly outstanding; physics are pretty much spot on; and the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable.

Summary
Besiege has far exceeded my expectations as well polished Early Access game with plenty of more content to be added. Adding blocks is really straight forward and it’s very much like putting Lego bricks together. Talking of Lego, you will absolutely adore this game if you are a Lego fan.
