About

Robotex casts you as a soldier tasked with clearing a violent alien world to save Earth. You fight through hordes of creatures with simple but effective shooting mechanics while solving environmental puzzles to progress. The story flips expectations as your mission to terraform becomes a one-sided war of destruction. Combat and exploration take center stage with minimal story interludes. The game launched in 2014 with support for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its straightforward control scheme and mix of action and puzzles appeal to players seeking a no-frills sci-fi challenge. A modest but dedicated following praises its aggressive tone and escalating boss fights.
