Besiege

Besiege is an original puzzle-simulation game in which we build fantastic siege machines from scratch and then use them to destroy the enemy troops and fortifications. Small independent British studio Spiderling is responsible for the creation of the title. The game debuted in the early access program on Steam in 2015 and was in it for nearly five years, until the official release on February 18, 2020. During this time, the production built around itself a very engaged community of fans. Based on their suggestions, the authors introduce improvements and new solutions to the gameplay model. Besiege fans are also the authors of numerous mods that further diversify and enrich the game.

Mechanics

Besiege is a unique puzzle-simulation game with the action taking place in a fantastic version of the European Middle Ages. During the game we build siege machines, and then with their help we destroy fortresses, villages and other buildings, spreading havoc among enemy troops on small and minimalistic 3D boards. We're given a huge number of parts to build our own unique machine out of, like building blocks, capable of breaking enemy resistance and withstanding a massive onslaught of troops and heavy guns. Thanks to the variety of available elements, including blocks that allow you to create simple logic gates and automate the operation of the structure, creative designers can show off their imagination, creating flying machines, flamethrowers or tanks equipped with guns.

Game Modes

The single player campaign consists of 54 missions set on four islands, varying in landscape and types of enemies and buildings. Apart from that, a level editor and a sandbox mode await the players, in which they can freely use all the construction elements available in the game.

Besiege also offers several variants of multiplayer play. In co-op mode, we build machines together with friends and destroy specific targets or try to complete a specific task with limited resources and building blocks. In PVP mode, on the other hand, we take part in siege machine clashes or compete with each other, trying to complete mission objectives as quickly as possible.

Technical issues

Besiege features eye-pleasing 3D graphics and a comprehensive engine that simulates the physics of objects. The title is fully integrated with the Steam workshop and supports all kinds of user modifications, such as new textures and 3D models.
