Besiege

Besiege is a Steam Early Access title that's basically Kerbal Space Program meets Robot Wars. It's all about building impractical siege engines and unleashing them on various medieval locales.

It's become quite popular lately- I'm surprised this thread didn't already exist.

You mean Kerbal Historical Recreation Programme, right?

Wishlisted this game, it looks amazing.

The last patch added five new levels, most of them requiring something else than a quadcopter bomber to solve. Good that I have a wheeled vehicle with a robotic arm saved.

• One of the levels requires you to turn a crank. You do need a robotic arm for this one.
• Another one requires you to crack open a wooden roof over a well and dump two jars of poison inside. Guess what's best for that purpose.
• Third unorthodox level requires you to put out "the sacred flame". How about putting a new gizmo, the water cannon, on the tip of your robotic arm and playing fireman? Well, you can replace the bombs on your quadcopter with water cannons pointed downwards and make it rain, it's gonna work as well.
• Fourth unorthodox level has you pull a huge stone sword from the ground and drag it to a target. I broke my robotic arm lifting it, so I went with a quadcopter crane. After much cursing and swearing, I hooked the sword in, pulled it out and dropped it on the marker. DEMACIA!
• The only level that is easiest to do with a quadcopter bomber features being surrounded by shrapnel cannons. Lift out like a bat out of hell before the cannons shred you, drop the bombs, if anything remains, just land on it.
