Review updated to better reflect the developer’s efforts

RoboPhobik is a decidedly basic overhead shooter with a sprinkling of features found in other genres. You play as one of several characters as you traverse a city populated by robots to rescue other humans and defeat the big boss PAL 9000. While interesting in concept, the execution is not the best and some features are rather basic. I think the best comparison is to certain games from the rogue-lite genre, specifically the indie game Dungeons of Dredmor or like Azure Dreams from the PS1, though this game does not feature the typical feature of losing all–or nearly all–progress when you die.

Factory Rally Madness

Factory Rally Madness

You are a robot and there is a factory… a dangerous one, and there are other robots… and everyone is running to be the first… and your program… it is messy and crazy, let´s try again…

As one of the robots in a factory full of dangers and excitement, compete with everyone to be the best running robot. To make things more interesting, all robots must program their movements while running based on program line instructions cards available at random on their own programming stack.

Can you win all the races? Don´t forget to choose your robot model to stand out in the crowd, and also to know which robot is yours. Program, race, win… or be destroyed!

#### CHOOSE YOUR ROBOT! Choose from twenty different robot models. Complete tasks in the game to unlock the deactivated robots and have all of them at your disposal in this insane factory race. A single player experience but with all the excitement and feel of a multiplayer game!

#### SELECT THE CHALLENGE! Put your robot to compete in a quick race against other robots or test your skills in a multi-track tournament in different areas of the factory: Foundry, Fabrication and Assembly. Several obstacles are between your robot and the objective points that form the race´s track. All tracks, their obstacles and objectives are procedurally generated. No track is ever the same!

#### RUN! Run through the factory in two game modes. In programmed game mode your robot has an instruction compiler and executes the movements in sequence. Plan your movements using the available instructions, creating a movement programming sequence. Real time mode allows you to choose the instruction you want your robot to execute right away, but stay tuned as instructions have a cooldown time before they can be used again. Both modes can be played at normal, fast and super-fast speeds.

#### GOAL AND SECRETS! Use the items distributed in the track to assist you during races. Consult your statistics containing information about your performance. Discover the secrets contained in the game. Can you figure them all out?

#### WHERE IS MY MULTIPLAYER? This game was designed to be a single player experience, like the old fun racing games, with some puzzle twists on it. If the game performers well in sales, we will see a multiplayer version of it with tournaments, custom skins and unique rewards for the best players.

Frozen Cortex

Frozen Cortex

I like this game. Don’t let the sports facade fool you; if you like turn based strategy, this game has a lot more depth than first glance suggests.

Full disclosure: I was on the closed beta, so I’ve had more direct contact with the devs than your average player. My perspective may be biased.

As a fan of Frozen Synapse, I was expecting more of the same this time around. The first couple weeks of testing showed promise, but the sports theme turned me off, and the absolutely brutal AI made it difficult to enjoy. They’ve since tuned the AI and match settings to be more accessible at the beginning, and even more ridiculously difficult at the highest levels.

Real player with 82.0 hrs in game

Frozen Endzone (possibly soon to be Frozen Cortex) is a brilliant new type of game from Mode7Games. It mixes sports with the turn-based action of their previous entry into the market, Frozen Synapse. Players plan their players moves, can plan opponent’s moves to see what will happen, and then submit their turn. Meanwhile, their opponent does the same planning process, and then after both players have submitted their turn, the game calculates and displays a result. Best part is that you never have to be online at the same time as your opponent!

Vibur: DISINTEGRATION (Episode 1)

Vibur: DISINTEGRATION (Episode 1)

“If you could start over, what would you change?"

Context of the world

For more than a hundred years, the planet faced a succession of conflicts each even more devastating than the previous one. Mankind was one step away from its extinction and the planet was left with severe marks of radioactivity.

Over time, the planet began to show some signs of regeneration and radioactivity became less and less a problem, however, in still active areas, a mysterious phenomenon began to emerge.

Over the last twenty years, strange creatures similar to dragons have been seen with increasing frequency. These creatures have been given the name of Viburs.

Conflict

Now in the year 2091, the world has not been pacified, instead, it moves to its darkest point. It is at its height of social, economic and political unrest, where different ideals have been brought to their logical conclusion, giving rise to three divergent factions.

Tensions intensify and everything becomes a pretext for a war in which the concept of morality begins to be challenged.

The ideological divergence of each side, will only find rest when it completely suppresses others and establish itself as the true and definitive world order.

Protagonist

Psychologically scarred and haunted by a past he can never forget, with no other alternative he joins a military training academy for Abidis pilots. Here is where his journey begins, as he starts to be surrounded by a web of internal and external conflicts. Multiple factions and secret interests exert their influence in this war, where not everything is what it seems.

However, this is his opportunity to rewrite his own story, and possibly the world’s. Thus begins a long journey, where it was all triggered by the strange and mysterious request of an enigmatic girl.

Key Features:

  • Experience the first episode of a dense saga, following the hero as he lives the day-to-day of an intense year in which some of his choices will inevitably affect his future and his team.

  • Interact and get closer to team members. They are the key to getting a clearer picture of the world through their distinct perspectives. This proximity will also be useful in combat.

  • Build a romantic connection with some of the girls. Despite the internal shadows that haunt the protagonist, it is possible to create the necessary change for him to able to consider someone in that perspective.

  • Evolve and fight with a diverse selection of weapons of war. Each faction and certain countries have developed powerful new war instruments that are divided essentially into two large groups of humanoid robots, the Tragos and Abidis. These latter are the best tool that mankind has against the Viburs.

  • Beat the enemies using a variety of strategies, exploring both terrain and character characteristics. All Abidis pilots have a combat style associated with a specific class, each with their strengths and weaknesses.

  • Help managing the team. All fights matter. All the status and condition of the pilots and their units are persistent between missions. Repair, maintenance or upgrading are always difficult choices when human and material resources are limited.

  • Explore this world dominated by the three great factions. Strife and conflict seem unavoidable in a reality where irreconcilable ideologies struggle to attain global hegemony. How will it be, to know different perspectives on the same reality?

OBEY

OBEY

An original and very tactical game of subversion, deceit and general skullduggery.

Obey brings to the table a fresh approach to the pvp multiplayer experience. The aim of the game is to be the first to achieve a certain monetary goal (usually 10,000 cents) and the means to achieve this goal varies considerably.

At the beginning of each match each player finds themselves in control of a cute little bunny rabbit (a hamster or guinea pig perhaps?). The first player to enter the Robot doorway is the player who gets to control it, thus a race is on. Upon entering the robot the electric sentries will all power up rewarding any late comers with electrocution, there is no second place.

This is a fantastic game, suffice it to say. It’s set around the concept of getting your enemies to act against their own self interest, which you may be confused about, after all, why would your opponents try to help you win? Well, because they think that it’ll also help themselves win. The victor is typically the one who best enlists the help of the other players while keeping them thinking that they’re not actually sabotaging themselves. Either that or that one bunny which just plays perfectly obedient the whole game yet still somehow wins because they’re getting steady progress towards that 10,000 cent goal while everyone else is squabbling to be overlord.

Before you read the Do Not Recommend and walk on:

There are some in development features that look exciting to retouch on in a future iteration including:

Mech Legs. I love me some mech-i-pedes

Mega Bots. I love me some big bots.

New Maps. I love me some variety.

There was some other stuff shown on their kickstarter page but given how funding efforts went, it’s uncertain how much of the remaining content on said list has plans for active or down the line development.
