Robocraft Royale is the latest game from indie hit developer Freejam. This new standalone Windows PC game launches on Steam Early Access. Robocraft Royale is Transformers meets Fortnite, and puts Abe Lincoln in a go-kart.
Using all manner of different character-bots, players battle to the last in a huge (64km2) map littered with pick-ups, mountain observatories, power stations, forests, crashed spaceships and numerous different building configurations.
Robocraft Royale lovingly selects the the best crazy character-bots created over 5 years from the 13 million plus strong Robocraft community. Players hunt for the character-bot that best suits their style, navigate the hazards of this world, emerge victorious and claim their proverbial cheese and ham toastie.
Each time a player deploys into the world they’ll find new creations to master and learn how best to manipulate the destruction of their enemies with Robocraft Royale’s bespoke damage mechanics. Will you cripple your foe by targeting a players movement parts or render them harmless by trying to degun them first?
