About the Game

Fight! And Fight Again!

Taking down the corporation is a big task, so if you fail, don’t worry, Wheat Willy has made plenty of spare mechs to reupload your AI to. With each attempt, you’ll pick up new skills and learn new things about the various enemies and gear along the path to victory. Chew your way through hordes of machines as you forge ahead towards the headquarters to finish this once and for all, no matter how much scrap you must make on your way.

 

Build Your Bot

Design your perfect killing machine as you pick between randomly dropped weapons, parts and upgrades throughout your run. No two runs are the same with each room dropping a random selection from a huge range of juicy loot for you to choose from to customize your mech along your warpath.

 

Ever Changing Dungeons

Every single playthrough offers unique rooms each with their own randomly selected objectives, carefully designed to challenge the player in unique and interesting ways. With room objectives, killing everything in sight might not always be needed, but it certainly never hurts!
