Soul Machine

Soul Machine is a top-down twin-stick action game in which you pilot a customizable mech against The Swarm, an endless, self-replicating mechanical threat. You fight hundreds of rogue machines at once, collecting data and scrap from destroyed robots to improve your mech and push deeper into the horde on future runs.

Build your mech

Choose a mobility base to suit your playstyle: agile bipedal legs, heavy tank treads or a multi-legged spider chassis. Each changes how you move and helps you outmaneuver the rogue mechs. You can also improve your chassis's stats and expand its passive slots through permanent upgrades.

Weapons and combat

During each run, you draft and upgrade heavily modifiable weapons. Combine firing behaviors such as Cone, Radial, Focused and Targeted with pierce modifiers to build a loadout. Weapon behavior can create combinations such as a blaster that fires chain lightning like a shotgun or a focused laser array that aggressively targets the closest machines.

Combat uses physics-based destruction: blasts send enemy mechs flying into scrap. The Swarm is relentless, and your mech will eventually be destroyed, but every shattered robot leaves data and scrap for permanent upgrades in the Meta-Progression timeline. These upgrades can unlock higher maximum weapon ranks, add passive slots and boost chassis stats.
