Mech Mechanic Simulatoris a PlayWay joint, and it shows. PlayWay publish games likeHouse Flipperand Car Mechanic Simulator, and if you’ve played or seen them, you know what to expect with this upcoming, scifi variant. The same as the others - but with mechs! That is to say, the same as the others, butbetter. There’s a trailer below, and a demo on Steam that I’ve had a play with.

My four-year-old kid has a bunch of iPad apps in which he taps and swipes on wounded animals in order to pluck thorns, wrap their scratches in gauze, and comb their hair. Mech Mechanic Simulator isn’t too far off that.

There’s a bunch of other stuff going on in Mech Mechanic including a shop with hundreds of items and some sort of fluctuating economy, jobs of varying difficulty, and so on, but I didn’t see enough in an hour to know how the experience might change over the long haul. I played enough to know that I want a game like this, but maybe not likethis.
