About the Game

In the apocalyptic wastelands of the future, with nothing but scrap and corrosive acid pervading the landscape, derelict robots work together to survive an otherworldly menace that threatens to destroy the feeble communities that manage to scrape by. It takes a band of bots to fend off one's foreign foes. Choose your perfect team of bots to take down the evil boss bot and his floating flunkies!

Features:
  • 5 Bot Classes: Customize your own team to fit your favorite play style
    > TracerBot: The sharpshot. She gets them right in the knee and primes targets for damage from teammates.
    > BerzerkBot: The bulldozing beast. He has dreams of becoming a rhino, but alas, his head bears no horn, despite his huge metal frame.
    > AcidBot: The potionsmaster. Insists that the world would be better off drenched in acid.
    > PullBot: The professional hugger. He'll pull you close, even from a distance, and get you right where he wants you.
    > CreatorBot: The lonely mad scientist. She tarries away the day, making a buddy to bloody the fields (or dismantle, whichever).
  • 3 Distinct Boss Bots
    > Strategize on the fly against a randomly-selected boss each playthrough!
  • Unique and Interesting Skills
    > Discover how to utilize your team's individual skills to find the most effective combinations
