The latest strategy RPG from Arcen Games is now out in early access. Heart of the Machine is available for the PC and can be obtained through Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The game has players transcend time and space as they take on the role of the first sentient AI in the world.
A Sentient AI
In the game, players take on the role of the first ever sentient AI. They’re born in a city that’s filled with endless opportunities and sometimes despair. They can choose to be a benevolent machine overlord or raise an army of robots and instead rule by force. There’s a lot of paths available for players to explore with the main goal being finding a place in a society that’s crumbling and in need of saving.
Different Factions
The game has a lot of powerful factions. At the start, they try to keep their distance mainly because they don’t know how to make the best leverage from the sentient AI. This hesitation though opens up an opportunity for players to set their own plans into motion first.
Various Classes
There are different unit classes available and each one comes with their own capabilities and specializations. There are also abilities, upgrades, and equipment options.
With this players can build intelligence-focused androids to do tasks that need that extra processing power or hacking.
