Eldritch Engines

Eldritch Engines

Eldritch Engines is a Top-Down 2D Mech Simulator aiming to deliver a fast paced mech combat experience.

Inspired by works like: EDF, Mech Warrior, Gundam, Lancer (TTRPG).

Development Status:

Eldritch Engines was started in November of 2025.
Our plan was to release what we have in the new year (2026) and continue development with an "open door" policy to let anyone who is interested see our work.

Expect content updates roughly every few months for now. 

Our long term plan is to eventually release on steam if we think our game is fun and worth of a price tag.

Current Features

• Simple combat sandbox - infinitely scaling waves
• 6 unique enemies
• 3 unique weapons
• Art is placeholder, dev art.

Planned Features (No Order):

• UI Overhaul
• Proper Main Menu & Pause Menu
• Mech Lab
  • Significant Customization Options
    
  • Playstyle Defining Upgrades
• Loads of New Weapons & Enemies
• Overhauled Enemy AI
• Missions
• Full Mod Support
  
• Real, custom art - Pending finding an artist who shares our vision :P

There is a lot more we have discussed trying but Id prefer to only commit to the above for now.

AI Usage

At the time of writing (Jan 1 2026) there is no AI generated content or AI usage at all in the project. 

We have considered using generative AI for placeholder UI images but have not done so yet. I will update if we do end up using it at all.
