"You’re alive. Good." "What do you remember? Do you know your Mars songs? Were you born on real ground? Do you remember Earth's hand reaching out to steal from the stars? Hmm. Endocortex must have some rot. Don’t bother with the local infonet, your soft is too old. I’ll find something. I’ll be your Local Admin. You have a rig, a mech. It’s a good one, a Dead Core. Good way to hop the gaps of the firmament, deal with threats." "And we have problems aplenty right now." WELCOME TO RECOMBINANT EARTH RIG is a single-player souls-like mech tabletop RPG. You pilot a Dead Core, a mech that has been reclaimed and murdered over and over again. You'll explore a dark science fiction wonderland full of threats, lore, and survivors. Fight enemy rigs and alien hulks, get new equipment, and try to progress through three distinct areas of Recombinant Earth in order to reach the end. RIG uses a standard deck of playing cards to create an endless combination of battles, and gradually fills in the world with more challenges and mysteries as you interpret what has happened to create Recombinant Earth, and who you were.
