Robocraft 2

Robocraft 2 is the second installment in a series of multiplayer action games, in which we take part in battles between self-designed, futuristic vehicles. The game is free-to-play, features microtransactions and was developed by Freejam, the same indie studio responsible for its predecessor.

Plot

Robocraft 2 is set a hundred years after the first game. A new resource, protonium, is discovered on Mars, triggering a war over it between two corporations. The player ends up right in the middle of said conflict.

Mechanics

Robocraft 2 has us controlling futuristic vehicles and aircraft, battling other players. Once our vehicle is destroyed, we can leave its wreckage and keep playing as the driver, wielding the QMG assault rifle.

The player can design and create machines on their own. Although at first our creations are very simple, over time we start making money, purchasing new parts, making more powerful and more elaborate vehicles.

Game modes

Robocraft 2 only supports multiplayer: quick battles, ranked battles and special events, during which we must compete against other players.

The game also lets us share our vehicles with the community. This provides us with an additional source of income and gives access to many pre-made vehicles created by other people.

Technical aspects

Robocraft 2 retains the first game's simple low poly artstyle. The game's physics engine is very advanced, making our vehicles move properly (armored vehicles are slower, while heavy aircraft won't be able to take off) and ensuring a realistic damage system (for example, if we collide with another player, the force will be equally distributed between us both).
