Reception

Another Rock Paper Shotgun article by Jay Castello which is a released-version review published on March 2, 2020. Jay Castello admired the game varieties that kept her engaging and trying to construct the new better siege engines. Although there was some lack of guidance that was mentioned in the article, the game has had a strong community support with mods, guides, tricks created by people who have a very good handle on besiege construction tools since the game was released early-access in 2015.[7]

Worth a Buy (Game review youtuber) published his Besiege (early access) video review on January 23, 2015 after he had played the game for 1 hour. He mentioned that the game caught his eye with its look and cheap price of 6$. The game building mechanic is fun with lots of crazy weapons to equip and experiment with. Worth a Buy summarizes that this game is fun, cheap, and really worth a buy.[9]

PC Gamer article by Rick Lane, Besiege lets you build siege weapons in a medieval fantasy realm. It contains four Kingdoms, with each Kingdom having many levels in it. The level is nicely crafted, with objectives for you to do in order to pass the level. Each level is designed to make you come up with a new mechanic with different tasks for you to do. You will be given a building area at the start of the level. Besiege provides a toolkit that’s easier to understand compared to Kerbal Space Program, but lacks a good tutorial to guide the beginners. The toolkit contains a lot of objects for you to use and work with. You can build from cranes to flying machines with it. Besiege allows you to adjust individual object parameters such as power, speed and even binding it to do certain actions.[10]
