Machine Eater puts you in command of an expanding ship that you build and arm before sending it into battle. The core loop revolves around collecting resources, using those resources to create blocks, and then placing structures with different features onto those blocks. Once your ship is ready, you select an enemy on the radar and put your strategy to the test. Structures captured from defeated enemies feed back into your options, adding further depth to each engagement.
Gather resources to create new blocks and grow your ship. Each block can hold structures, so placement decisions shape how your vessel performs against the enemies you detect on the radar. Defeating enemies yields additional structures, which expand the strategic possibilities available for future encounters.
Machine Eater sits comfortably among Management games, where resource gathering and strategic decision-making drive every session.
