Now, I hate to end a preview on a downer, but I have to talk about the things that aren’t working very well at the moment – but please remember, this is still in Game Preview so things will, hopefully, change.įirst up is the design and build screen. Suffice it to say that I was soon destroyed and sent back to the drawing board. I built one cart where I didn’t do this, and the steering went from top to bottom, not left to right.

Once you get the hang of placing the various components, it is possible to work out some of the kinks, but I do have a top tip for those of you wanting to play this in preview state: When making steering, pay attention to the orientation of the steering knuckles. One of the things you can do when building your wheeled machine of destruction is introduce steering, and while this works in theory, in practice it is a more than a little fiddly trying to slalom between bombs, say. Now, as this is a preview piece, I’ll not dwell on things like the graphics and sound, or even the controls, except to say that I’m glad Besiege is still only a Game Preview title, as the controls are, shall we say, interesting. You want chaos? This will scratch that itch. In my time with Besiege I have built things that look like carts, bristling with blades, I have mounted cannons on spindly towers on top of my cart (that went about as well as you might expect) and I have even managed to set myself on fire with my own flamethrower. The only part you have to have is a central block, but after that the world is your oyster. Whether that be land based with wheels, or flying with balloons attached and propellers to move the craft, the only limit is your imagination. Before each level begins, you have the opportunity to look at the objective, and then build a suitable machine to take it on.
