Cogmind är ett indiespel i rogue-like RPG-genren. Ta kontroll över en grundläggande robot och utforska en levande värld fylld med andra robotar, strida och uppgradera dig själv längs vägen.
Bot life
Looking like a futuristic Dwarf Fortress right down to the ASCII art, Cogmind is a graphically basic RPG with a huge amount of content. Designed to look like an early 1980s computer, the green and black colour scheme and tile colours rules will instantly be familiar to veteran gamers. Players begin as a basic robot with little in the way of combat or movement abilities. Chunks of discarded machines can be added to the bot, offering upgrades to speed or power at the cost of energy consumption or heat efficiency. The world is populated by both neutral and hostile robots which carve out a procedurally generated map as turns progress, offering a huge amount of choice on how to progress. Bots can be built for pure weapon proficiency or for silent take downs via a choice of nearly 1000 parts. The first stumbling block for a game like Cogmind is learning the control scheme and figuring out what everything does, but a huge amount of information makes this a fairly painless experience.
Singular work
Cogmind är en fantastisk RPG-upplevelse. Skapad av en enda utvecklare visar spelet de år av omsorg och hängivenhet som lagts ner i det och erbjuder en godbit för fans.
