About This Game

Physics based combat game where you design a robot and fight in the arena. Crush, flip, pierce, burn and cut your opponents till the last part. Create superior fighting machines and dominate the arena.


DESIGN YOUR BOT

  • Chassis Shaping is first step to create your robot. During combat chassis can be deformed and ripped apart exposing vital internal parts.
  • Component placement is next step. Part types are, but not limited to: structural beams, motors, pistons, wheels, blunt, sharp & other weapons, energy supplies, main-board and cosmetic parts.
  • Input Control Setup allows to bind various actuator actions using keyboard, mouse and game-pad controllers.
  • Bot Painting can be done both in-game and using your favorite painting software. Once your chassis shape is final, use implemented basic painting tools to paint bot. For more advanced designs just export & import bot texture using ".png" format.

COMBAT AGAINST OTHER BOTS

Participate in matches against other bots in various game modes. Fight alone or with friends (Couch play or Steam Remote Play). Online multiplayer support is unconfirmed, it will be implemented or dropped before full release.

Cripple enemy machines by destroying key components such as wheels, motors, energy supplies, and main-board.

Use your weapons to shred your opponents apart. You can completely destroy bots as all chassis sections and parts are destructible.

Fighting arenas have hazards that may affect outcome of combat. Use them to your advantage. And avoid the pit at all cost.

Arena environments are diverse. Each arena might contain different hazards or none at all. Prepare your bot accordingly.
