It’s the 1980s that never ended. A band of kids find a walking mech and a dead pilot — so they take it, and cross the wastes for the first time.
A cozy narrative roguelike about wandering a dead world
Mechs Tape is a free, atmospheric hexploration roguelike with a Tales-from-the-Loop heart: wistful, analog, lived-in — not grimdark. Drive your salvaged mech hex by hex across a post-cataclysm 1980s, meet factions with crisscrossing loyalties, take jobs, dodge bandits, kit-bash cassette-tech upgrades onto your chassis, and chase a single goal to its climax. Every encounter is generated offline from hand-written tables — no servers, no tracking, no microtransactions.
- 🎲 Visible dice — every roll happens in the open
- 📼 Kit-bash your mech — fit parts and see them on the chassis
- 🗺️ Hex by hex — a different story every run
- 🎵 Lo-fi soundtrack + 16-bit pixel art throughout
