Hydroactive

Hydroactive is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi RPG with tactical turn-based combat, puzzles and exploration. You play as Nutbolt, an early explorer-bot prototype built by the ZARR corporation, and investigate hazardous areas while confronting threats in a world where most natural landmass has been destroyed by unknown causes. Corporations now rule the world, each pursuing its own goals and interests.

Explore the world

You travel through a wide range of areas, including ruined corporate buildings. Exploration rewards careful play and discourages speedy playthroughs. Along the way, you solve puzzles that go beyond switches and blocks, and avoid treacherous hazards.

Fight strategically

Combat is turn-based and features one party member: Nutbolt. You shoot and slash through hordes of enemies, each with its own weaknesses and resistances. A weapon-switching system encourages strategic thinking, with combat that is simple to pick up but tricky to master.

Weapons and tools

Nutbolt acquires weapons and tools throughout the game. Some improve his offensive capabilities in combat, while others provide strategic options and can be used outside combat to solve puzzles or reach previously inaccessible areas.

Characters and music

The game features a quirky cast of memorable characters and an electronic soundtrack. Its premise draws influence from Fallout, Waterworld and various cyberpunk novels.
