Are you stuck in a video game level and can't advance? Cheat Engine is a free open-source application that was developed to modify the configuration of any given game, making it possible to increase or decrease its complexity level. The tool allows you to alter different parameters, such as the number of lives of your character, the amount of ammo on a weapon and even the possibility to walk through walls.

What are the key features of Cheat Engine?

Customized cheats: You can modify as many parameters as you want of your favorite games. The sky's the limit!
Access to game memory: While your game is running, Cheat Engine tries to access its memory in order to see which parameters can be altered.
User Guide: Due to its technical complexity, Cheat Engine is not the easiest application to handle. That's why the app comes with a comprehensive user manual where all steps and functions are explained.
Pre-configured cheats: On the official website we can find cheats for specific games that were previously configured by other users. In order to check if cheats are available for your game, we recommend you to Google Search them beforehand. For instance by typing Borderlands 3 Cheat Engine, Valheim Cheat Engine etc.

How to use Cheat Engine?

Cheat Engine performs an analysis of the different parameters that are present in the source code and memory of a video game. Once these parameters have been detected, the application makes their modification available to the user via the Cheat Engine interface. It is important to keep in mind that Cheat Engine may not work with all of your video games. This especially applies to online games, since these are much more difficult to hack than locally installed games.

Is it free?

Cheat Engine is a totally free application.

Is it legal to use Cheat Engine?

Cheat Engine is legal and safe to use, but you have to be careful in online games as they tend to be more restrictive when using this type of cheat tool. As you will understand, it can be considered illegal when you try to use this app to obtain paid content for free.
