If you’re a fan of robot battle arenas, or even just attaching knives and balloons to robots, you may just want to try Sokbots. Design your robotic beast to fight others and make it to the top of the charts.
You will be tasked with creating your first robot to pit against other players in hopes of destroying a few dreams. Will your first prototype crush the competition and pave the way to victory, or will you be back to the drawing board after match one?
Sawblades, propellers, rockets – Sokbots’ robot editor has over 25 parts for you to create a truly unique killing machine. You can adjust the rotation of each part, as well as placement. It’s going to be a real test of your robot-building skills.
As you battle, you’ll be rewarded with credits which will allow you to give your robot a bit of an edge in battle. These will give you access to stronger and more dangerous accessories, allowing you to continually iterate on your fighting machine. While you have to worry about your offensive parts, you’ll have a battery bar to keep an eye on, too – robots aren’t going much of anywhere without power. There’s a lot that goes into building a beastly machine.
You’ll have to pray that your ingenuity trumps others’, too, if you choose to go up against other players. You will have three modes to test your Frankenbot on: Online multiplayer, Single player vs. AI, and Co-op vs. AI. The real thrill will surely be found in online multiplayer where you can compare notes on whose robot is the most deadly. Perhaps you’ll even make the ranking board with your prized robot.
Sokbots is available on itch.io. You can also support Sokpop Collective on their Patreon.
