Vindictive Drive 2: Maidbot Archive

Vindictive Drive 2: Maidbot Archive is a bullet-hell game with exploration, sandbox freedom and boss hunting. You play as a newly assigned officer of Hexcorp, a crime-control organization caught in a machine invasion led by the Biokernel, a powerful AI that assimilates everything it touches.

The war and its past

You join Arris Fern, an ex-terrorist who took revenge on her father eight years ago and was responsible for activating the Biokernel, and Hex Reader, an ex-mafia boss. Both are trying to make amends for their pasts during a war that is only part of a darker phenomenon: the Vitakrosis effect, in which the spirit of revenge threatens the lives of the entire world. Maidbots offer a positive force in the conflict, helping bring joy and hope to the world.

Combat and builds

The game uses twin-stick shooter controls: you move with WASD and aim with the mouse, or play with a gamepad. You can assemble a squad of more than 20 Maidbots, whose skills include healing, tanking, dashing, area-of-effect attacks, shooting and support. Combine their abilities with buffs and other upgrades to shape your build and playstyle.

Enemies and locations

You face 12 bosses, from early-game challenges to two-phase final bosses, as well as more than 30 enemy types ranging from basic grunts to complex threats. The game includes six city districts and two unique dungeons, each with distinct mechanics, layouts and secrets.

Maidbots and voices

Maidbots have varied skill kits, with roles and abilities such as healers, tanks, dashers and area-of-effect specialists. Their voices are performed by actors from anime, television, film and games.
