Besiege - medieval weaponry sandbox game leaves early access

It's hard to believe that Spiderling Studios launched Besiege on Steam over 5 years ago already. At launch, it was an immediate gem and garnered thousands of positive reviews from players. Since then, development has continued and it has finally reached v1.0, leaving early access today.

At its core, Besiege is a sandbox game about constructing medieval siege engines. With hundreds of individual building blocks, you're really only limited by what you can envision, which I think is the hallmark of a good sandbox game. Taking your creating into combat often results in hilarious effects, either from things going catastrophically wrong, or from the absurd death and destruction animations of your enemies.

The biggest new feature with the version 1.0 update is the introduction of logic blocks the the game, which should offer a ton of new options to your war machine. Each block has a different function that will send a keypress when activated. The four new logic blocks are:

• Altimeter: detects changes in elevation
• Logic gate: evaluates keypresses to output a new keypress
• Sensor: detect objects in their vicinity
• Timer: sends a keypress after a defined duration

In addition to the logic blocks, the final continent in the campaign, Krolmar, has been released. Krolmar is a desert-themed continent with many new challenges to close out the campaign.

To celebrate the v1.0 launch, Besiege is discounted by 50% on Steam for the next 7 days.
