Bionic Dues

Bionic Dues is a turn-based tactical roguelite about stopping a robot uprising before your corporate overlords nuke the city. You lead a squad of four Exos through missions across a city map, gathering loot and destroying key robotic facilities as you prepare for a final battle against the massing robot army.

Missions and the uprising

As you explore the city map, you discover 120 missions and choose 30 to 50 to complete. Your choices determine how prepared you are for the final battle. Missions come in 23 general types and are procedurally generated, like floors in a traditional roguelite.

You face more than 40 kinds of robots. Some, including DumBots, BlunderBots and BatBots, are inept but dangerous; others, such as WyvernBots, DoomBots and MurderBots, are highly effective. Robots have exploitable flaws, including poor navigation and aim, insecurity, lack of focus and a tendency to backstab.

Build your squad

Choose four Exos from six classes: Assault, Siege, Science, Sniper, Ninja and Brawler. Each class has its own build and weaponry. You can also select an overall pilot from a roster of six; the pilot adds a powerful perk that lasts for the whole campaign.

Procedurally generated loot lets you customize your Exos with weapons, defensive upgrades and new abilities. The game offers difficulty levels from casual to hardcore, and lets you save and reload at any time or play in ironman mode.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is by composer Pablo Vega and includes the title theme “The Home We Once Knew.”
