Engine of War

Engine of War is another one of those top-down arena shooters. But what sets this apart from most arena shooters besides the mech, is the unique way it deals with weapons and functions assignment. It's unlike anything i've seen before. As you can see in the image below, at first it just looks like a jumble of icons and lines. But it's actually a graphical representation of where you assign your weapons and functions that relate to your mech.

Let me explain, your mech by default has a battery unit, a random number generator unit, a circuit splitter unit and a gun unit which is assigned to either the right or left arm unit. As you gain money, you can add upon the circuit with more units like a siren which will alert you of on coming enemies. If you want to know how it all works, I suggest you play the demo, as it will explain a lot more in detail of the whole system:
