Robothorium

About

Robothorium casts you as S.I.A, an AI guiding a rebellion of robots against human oppression. Use turn-based tactics to command squads in grid-based battles, balancing resource management and strategic positioning. Between fights, navigate a branching narrative where choices shape alliances and determine which factions to trust. The rogue-like structure means each playthrough reshapes the world, with randomized events and evolving threats keeping outcomes unpredictable. The game blends methodical combat with heavy moral stakes. Every decision impacts relationships with cyborgs, humans, and rival robot groups. While some players praise the depth of its tactical systems, others note the steep learning curve for managing multiple units and limited upgrades. The 2018 release has aged well among fans of slower-paced strategy, though newer titles have overtaken it in polish.

Storyline

2052. Planet Earth. BreakTech, an enterprise specialised in robotic construction, is flourishing thanks to thorium, an unlimited and innovative power source. After many years of exploitation, robots are finally protesting for their rights. But the peaceful movement is quickly escalating to riots and the human repression is near. Now seen as a first degree threat, robots are hunted down and culled throughout the planet. You, S.I.A, an enhanced artificial intelligence, have to end this surrounding chaos and build a future for your robots. Unite with the new rebel factions, which have been engaged in turf war for months, then deal with cyborgs, humans and robots to lead your own robotic uprising.
