RUSTWAKE
A downloadable game
RUSTWAKE — BUILD. FIGHT. SALVAGE. REBUILD.
Build a modular war machine. Fight through 12 increasingly dangerous waves, salvage new parts from the battlefield, and rebuild stronger for whatever comes next.
FEATURES
• Build and upgrade a modular combat machine
• Fight through 12 waves of enemies
• Salvage new parts from the battlefield
• Adapt your build as the run progresses
• Face 2 boss encounters
• Experiment with different machine configurations
• Single-player action / strategy / survival gameplay
CURRENT PROTOTYPE
This is the first public playable prototype of RUSTWAKE.
The full 12-wave gameplay loop is playable, including machine building, salvage, upgrades and 2 boss encounters.
This is an early build, so you may encounter balance issues, rough edges and unfinished elements.
YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS
If you play RUSTWAKE, I'd especially like to know:
• What was the most fun part?
• What was confusing, frustrating or boring?
• Would you play a larger version of RUSTWAKE? Why?
Specific criticism is extremely useful.
Thank you for playing RUSTWAKE.
⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE — FIXED BUILD
I discovered that the executable previously uploaded to this page could fail to launch correctly. I’m sorry to everyone who downloaded RUSTWAKE and was unable to play it.
The download has now been replaced with a corrected build.
If you downloaded RUSTWAKE before this update, please download the latest version again.
Thank you for your patience — and especially to anyone who tried the prototype despite the issue.
