Frequently asked questions
Everything we can answer at this stage of development.
What is Mechanith?
A top-down, sci-fi action rogue-like. You swap control between Kael, a nimble gunslinger, and A.X.L, his robust wheeled companion, to fight through a hostile alien planet, grow stronger at your crashed-ship hub, and uncover the secrets of a lost civilization.
What is “Symbiotic Swapping”?
Our core mechanic. You control two characters with different strengths and can swap between them on the fly. Combat is not just about reflexes — the real skill is knowing who is the right character for each exact moment.
Who are Kael and A.X.L?
Kael (Kaelen) is the protagonist: agile and gun-wielding. A.X.L is his companion: a robust, wheeled robot. One is fast and fragile; the other is durable and deliberate.
How do the levels work?
Each biome is built from carefully crafted rooms and tilemaps — the “dungeon”. A procedural manager connects and populates them, so every descent is a new layout assembled from hand-made parts.
What is the crashed-ship hub?
Your base between runs. Spend the resources you recover to grow stronger before the next descent.
What platforms will it release on?
In development for PC (Steam) — the wishlist is open. Console plans: [FUTURE].
What languages will the game support?
English and Spanish at first release. Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, German and Russian are planned afterward.
When does it release? How can I follow development?
No date yet — we will announce it on Steam, Discord and X (and on the mailing list, once it opens). Wishlist and follow to be the first to know.
