![]() Besieging a castle is often a race against time. You could add in supply issues after all, one of the major issues in a siege is who can last longer. And it might be fun to be on the outside mounting a serious siege, having to acquire things like the ability to build trebuchets, siege towers, train sappers to undermine and so on, filling in the moat, planning concerted assaults on key parts of the wall. ![]() In all the masses of "Tower Defence" games, has anyone ever done a game that gets serious and in depth about classic medieval siegecraft? It might be fun to build castles with the full layout, all the murder holes and twists after the gatehouse so the battering ram can't just keep going to the next gate, moats and so on, plus making sure you've got lots of arrows and pitch and oil to boil and anti-scaling-ladder forked poles and so on. Somehow I was expecting something different from the title. You can grab it on Humble Store, GOG and Steam. A Guided Missile Launcher? A Star Wars AT-AT Walker? Yup, there's that and a whole lot more. Steam Workshop support is also awesome, so many ridiculous creations. I completed the mission thanks to that, which is of course the main thing… During one mission I was on fire and falling apart, but due to the fire my arrows caught fire too so I let off a quick volley into a building and watched as we both crumbled. I've set myself on fire I don't know how many times now but it's such a satisfying game once you get past the initial frustration with the controls and the camera. I've played it for a few hours since the new release, probably the longest I've ever played the game for to finally get a really good feel for it and it's pretty hilarious. ![]() Absolutely loads of bugs were fixed in the main game, there's also been some modding fixes and improvements, better language detection, performance improvements when a lot of stuff is on fire, a bunch of improved textures for models, some font improvements and so on. On top of that, they've done a massive polishing pass on the game. You can now actually rebind controls, two new levels were added with Mountain Barrier and Revolving Monolith, four new achievements and a new sorting system is available for those of you getting lost with tons of saved designs. ![]() Building machines to destroy in Besiege is pretty fun and it's progressing towards the final release with a pretty huge update now available for this physics-based building game. ![]()
