Bot Gaiden

Bot Gaiden is an action game starring ninja robots Robyu and Bytron. They race to recover the power skulls stolen by Giorqio’s six Hench-bots, slicing through enemies to reach each destination quickly. The Hench-bots grow stronger over time and through exposure to the skulls.

Speed and combat

Moving faster can make fights easier, but it also puts you in greater danger. You plan efficient routes through each stage and chain attacks together, with momentum playing a key role. Keeping skill gears grants speed boosts, but taking damage makes you lose them. Fast finishes unlock upgrades that can help you finish even faster.

Co-op play

Two players can team up, including when their skill levels differ. You can teleport to your partner at any time, letting a trailing player catch up or an experienced player help. The trailing player also receives additional recovery speed, and when one player picks up a skill gear, both get it. BotSwat sends your partner flying across the screen in an invincible fireball.

Challenges and rewards

The game has Casual, Normal, Hardcore and Ludicrous difficulty settings, and enemies can kill you with a single hit. There are no hidden areas, so you can focus on the action. You can defeat the bosses and earn their rewards in any order. Bronze and Silver rewards provide an edge toward beating the Gold clear time; Gold rewards include upgrades such as Triple Jump, Super Drill and Glider Bombs. Gold rewards also help you survive the endgame gauntlet, and the game has additional unlockables.
