GearHead 1

GearHead 1 is a remarkably deep roguelike RPG set in a world where giant robots are just another part of everyday life. Developed by Joseph Hewitt, it combines traditional turn-based exploration with an impressive amount of freedom, allowing players to build characters, interact with factions, explore locations and, naturally, climb into enormous machines and make things explode. The procedural nature of the game means that every adventure can develop differently, while the underlying systems reward experimentation rather than forcing you down a single path. It looks fairly modest, but there is a surprising amount happening underneath the ASCII or tile-based surface. If you like roguelikes, tactical combat and giant robots, GearHead offers a wonderfully nerdy combination of all three.
