About Mech Core: Survivor

Mech-Core: Survivor is a fast top-down roguelite where you pilot a heavily armoured Mech against endless waves of relentless alien swarms in a dark metallic arena. The progression currency is Nanites, collected from defeated enemies, and spending them levels you up and unlocks devastating weapon upgrades — Rapid Lasers, Homing Missiles and EMP Shockwaves among them. Because those abilities can be combined rather than simply stacked, the interesting part of a run is finding a pairing that covers both the swarm in front of you and the things that get behind. Auto-fire is on by default, which keeps your hands free for positioning while the arena fills up around you.

How to Play

Move your Mech with WASD or the arrow keys and use the mouse to aim. Left-click to shoot, though auto-fire is enabled by default. Collect the Nanites dropped by defeated enemies to level up and unlock weapon upgrades such as Rapid Lasers, Homing Missiles and EMP Shockwaves.

Tips & Tricks

Pick up Nanites during lulls rather than mid-swarm, since walking into a crowd for currency is how runs end. Combine a crowd-clearing ability with a single-target one rather than doubling up. Keep to the arena's open centre where the mech can turn, not the walls.
