A Meditative Game in a Futuristic World
Mech Mechanic Simulator on Steam is a game set in the future, where "cars are long forgotten." As the titular mech mechanics, players will start in their own workshop and start repairing giant, powerful robots, later competing with some of this new world's largest corporations. Aside from simply repairing mechs for clients, players will also get the opportunity to build their own state-of-the-art mech.
It stands out from most games in the mech genre, where players usually pilot giant robots to fight and destroy each other in large arenas. Mech Mechanic Simulator turns the spotlight on the unsung hero that keeps those robots blasting and bashing - the mechanics themselves. In this Polylash simulator, players first choose which jobs they want to take on: each of these futuristic corporations has a mech awaiting repair and the corresponding bounty for completing the tasks.
Reviewers find the repair tasks "meditative," as its procedural gameplay requires players to scan around the robot (often in 360 degrees), identify the damaged part, and remove each part in a particular order before getting to the exact damaged section. With the click of a button, Mech Mechanic Simulator allows the loosening and tightening of screws, welding panels, and scanning parts.
Additionally, developers have added a new feature that makes Mech Mechanic Simulator closer to other games in the genre: Calibration. A little further in the game, players can take their repaired mechs for a test drive before endorsing them back to their clients. There is a variety of minigames - from basic movement to mining and combat scenarios - where the players get to enjoy the varied designs and features of the mechs in the game.
Take the mechs out for a spin after repairing them on Mech Mechanic Simulator.
