About the Game

BELTFED is a roguelike factory-defense game of rapid, brutal runs and absurd scale. Lay belts, wire up smelters and assemblers, and balance your power grid, turning raw ore into raw firepower. All the while a planet's worth of bugs descends upon your factory. This is automation fused with total war.

AUTOMATE DEATH

The swarm arrives in the hundreds of thousands. Meet them with guns, flamethrowers, launchers, mortars, lasers, drones, mines and more - all of it fueled by your own production lines. A single run can push your kill count into the millions. Welcome to slaughter at an industrial scale.

MASS PRODUCTION. MASS EXTINCTION.

Balance industry, power and security as you expand your factory and push into the fog for richer veins and rarer resources. More bugs require more bullets, and supply must keep up because demand doesn't wait. As you expand, choose from run-defining upgrade cards that shape how you play, making every factory different from the last.

THE NEXUS MUST SURVIVE

The Nexus is your central intelligence and item storage. It must be defended at all costs. If your Nexus is compromised, your factory will be terminated and the run will end. Everything else is expendable. As you progress, you'll unlock new Nexus cores that change the way you play.

THE FACTORY IS YOUR WEAPON

Every deployment feeds permanent progression: new weapons, new buildings, new upgrade cards, unique Nexus cores and modules. Your ever-expanding arsenal ensures every deployment is deadlier than the last. Customize your loadout before each run to tune the machine to your playstyle. Optimize chaos, automate death.
