Cogmind

About

Cogmind is a sci-fi roguelike where you play a self-aware robot scavenging parts to survive in a hostile world. You assemble your body from modular components like weapons, armor, and movement systems, adapting to threats by rebuilding from wreckage or stolen tech. Combat is turn-based with tactical depth, balancing aggression, stealth, and hacking. The game emphasizes resource management and risk-reward decisions as you navigate procedurally generated environments filled with rival bots and dangerous terrain. The game’s complexity shines in its customization and challenge. With 474 achievements and an average unlock rate of 4.2%, mastery demands persistence, some goals are so niche they remain completely untouched. The rarest trophy, "Zeroed Repercussions," sits at 0.00% completion, hinting at near-impossible playthroughs. Players praise the system’s flexibility, letting them craft anything from brute-force tanks to agile infiltrators. While the steep learning curve might intimidate newcomers, dedicated fans highlight the satisfaction of optimizing builds and adapting to ever-changing threats.

Storyline

Experience sci-fi tactical combat and exploration in a procedural world that combines traditional roguelikes with an immersive modern interface like no other. Build yourself from components found or salvaged from other robots. Attach power sources, propulsion units, utilities, and weapons to become a slow tank bristling with weapons, or a fast-moving flier zipping past enemies before they even have time to react, or a stealthy sword-wielding assassin/hacker, or whatever else you can come up with from the salvage you find. The situation can quickly change as you lose components and rebuild yourself from enemy remains. You are the Cogmind. Discover what that means as you explore a living, breathing world ruled by robots.
