About the Game

A maintenance robot awakens for a routine shift, only to discover the factory has entered lockdown.

Unarmed and marked as a threat, M.R.1 must fight to survive.

Inspired by the golden age of home console gaming and arcade action, Retro Robot Rescue combines classic arcade gameplay with modern progression through upgrades and unique boss encounters.

Recover your weapon, battle through corrupted factory sectors, collect biomass from defeated machines, and upgrade M.R.1 at the Forge. Each upgrade improves your chances of survival, while every new sector introduces deadlier machines, tougher bosses, and new environmental hazards.

Features

• No two journeys through the factory are exactly alike, with each run assembling familiar rooms into a new layout.

• Collect biomass and spend it at the Forge to unlock new upgrades.

• Battle unique bosses guarding each new sector.

• Adapt to moving barriers, electric walls, icy floors, conveyor belts, and other environmental challenges.

• Push deeper into the factory to unlock new sectors and uncover the growing corruption.

• Continue beyond your first escape with Prestige difficulties that increase the speed and challenge of every encounter.

• Earn Steam achievements and compete for high scores on the Steam Leaderboards.

• Play with a controller, keyboard, or mouse, with controller rumble support and a multilingual interface.

Can you escape the factory... or discover what lies behind its lockdown?
