A view engine is what MVC uses to find and render the views you are requesting from the controller. If you are satisfied with the default routing you probably wont need to change anything, but lets say you wanted to have your shared files usually located in root/views/shared to instead be located in root/common, a custom viewengine is what you will need to create to be able to do that.

View Engine renders the HTML to the browser. The view engine templates have a different syntax than the implementation. By default ASP.Net MVC supports ASPX and the Razor View Engine.
