Verdant Engine

   Verdant Engine is a single player strategy roguelike, where the player controls a massive mech that has been possessed by a plant-like entity. The mech has a garden growing atop of its chassis, and the placement of plants influences its combat capabilities. The mech must make its way through the city, battling immense polluting factories, before defeating the central AI that keeps the factories running.

   Hundreds of years ago, humanity went extinct. Through war and pollution, they choked themselves to death. Despite their absence, humans continue to leave their mark upon the world. Their cities are run by a central AI, which controls immense mobile factories that never cease production, and deadly battle engines which continuously patrol the city. The world is slowly dying, and the environment has led to the rapid mutation of plants which grow in the rare green corners that are left on Earth.

    You are a new strain of plant; a lifeform whose roots can bind and puppeteer the armatures of a derelict engine. With the aid of other plants you discover and cultivate, you have gone on the warpath to defeat the central AI once and for all.
