GearHead 2 is a mecha-themed roguelike RPG game.
GearHead 2 is a roguelike role-playing game featuring a diverse choice of mecha units as game characters for a change.
As the sequel to GearHead there is an ASCII or graphical mode to choose from, the latter is now in 3D.
GearHead 2 is still unfinished but under active development. To compile the latest version, you might have to compile it yourself, which requires FreePascal and sources of JEDI-SDL and possibly patched SDL.
