Shoot Many Robots

About

Shoot Many Robots is a side-scrolling co-op shooter where you and up to three friends drive an RV through robot-infested wastelands. You trade gunfire with waves of mechanical enemies using a variety of over-the-top weapons while managing ammo pickups and cover mechanics. The controls emphasize fast movement and shooting on the run, blending vertical and horizontal scrolling to keep combat dynamic. The single-player mode follows a story where a beer-loving everyman named Walter Tugnut leads the charge against an abandoned factory spewing machines. The game leans into its goofy tone with characters like Walter and a plot involving robot hordes and stockpiled ammunition. It launched in 2012 with support for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and later Android. While it never achieved mainstream success, its cult following praises the tight multiplayer loop and retro-inspired design. Community reviews highlight the chaotic fun of teamwork against relentless enemies, though some note the story feels secondary to the action.

Storyline

You take control of P. Walter Tugnut (The “P” stands for “Pickles”), a regular guy who stockpiles guns, ammo, and beer in his dilapidated RV awaiting the inevitable robot apocalypse. When the abandoned factory in the distance begins producing robots on its own, Walter sets off in his RV on a robot-killing rampage, hoping to save humanity from an onslaught of robot hordes.
