RoboCritters

RoboCritters is a real-time battle game for up to four local players or six online. You fight opponents across procedurally generated, fully destructible terrain, using weapons, movement abilities and the landscape to gain an advantage. Its 12 game modes add different rules and challenges.

Battle and movement

You can tunnel through terrain, use it as temporary cover and turn craters into ramps. Hop, dash and roll to move quickly, or use jet packs to take to the air and engage in dogfights. Power-up crates provide resources that players compete to collect, while customizable modifiers let you adjust settings such as rate of fire, health and energy regeneration.

Weapons include bouncy mines, player-guided missiles, remote-detonated cluster bombs and nukes. Four rechargeable energy abilities range from the less costly Quick-Shield and Mega-Hop to the more costly Shockwave and EMP. You can also use in-game emotes to taunt opponents or show fear; each critter has a distinct personality and 18 randomized voice statements.

Worlds and arenas

The game has five world types: woodland, winter, wild-west, gothic and cheesetastic. You can generate landscapes with the interactive level-generation tool or choose from over 70 pre-built layouts.

Game modes

The 12 modes include:

• Skirmish: earn money from hits and kills, then buy weapons between rounds.
• Dogfight: use infinite basic ammunition and jetpack fuel in battles focused on reflexes and aerial manoeuvres.
• Nuke Dogfight: fight with infinite nukes and jetpack fuel.
• Basic Survival: rely on basic weapons while avoiding bouncy mines dropped continually from above.
• Lottery: receive infinite ammunition for two random weapons, or for one weapon and a jet pack, and find a way to win with your assigned loadout.
• Shuffle: play a different game mode each round.
