About the Game

Rocket Bots is a compact, high-intensity wave shooter built around speed, pressure, and heavy firepower.

Drop into an arena overrun by hostile machines and fight to survive for as long as you can. Each round throws new threats at you, from relentless basic bots to dangerous elite enemies like Spyders, blinking Masters, charging Blades, and full swarm waves of Mites. The longer you last, the harder the fight becomes.

Swap between a hard-hitting arsenal of shotguns, launchers, grenades, and precision weapons as you adapt to each wave. Chase bigger damage numbers, sharpen your movement, and learn how to control the chaos when the arena starts to fill with steel.

Play alone or jump into Steam co-op, hold the line with your squad, and see how far you can push your run. Compete for leaderboard damage, take on community Workshop maps, and keep refining your build, your aim, and your survival instincts.
