What is Mech Engineer?
A single-player strategy simulation set on a ruined Earth, where you manage a base, pilots, and resources while searching for shuttle parts to escape. You assemble and tune mechs, balancing weight, energy use, and heat before sending them on missions against a mutating alien weapon. Battles run semi-automatically, with active pause for positioning and attack orders.
