About Ramshackle
In Ramshackle, Instead of piecing together blocks, you construct vehicles (referred to as "vessels" in-game) with point-placed struts and armor plates as the core structure. Functional modules like wheels, tracks, and weapons integrate into this framework, but they only work when powered by engines, transmission lines, and ammunition. Combat then plays out with simulated ballistics: angled armor can deflect rounds, while a well-placed shot into an ammo rack can tear a vehicle apart from the inside.
Features
- Designer - Construct your vessel's structure using an advanced vertex-based armor editor. - Plan your vessel around internal modules. Get five car engines and put them together!
- Single-player, Multiplayer - Battle on a variety of terrains across different "Tech" levels, representing eras of military vehicle development. - Engage designs made by other players, operated by those players, or AI opponents.
- Unique Roles - A vessel's tradeoffs between armor, firepower, mobility, and utility will determine its success in battle. Designs range from heavily-armored brawlers to paper-thin scouts, and everything in between.
