Robots at Midnight

Robots at Midnight is an action RPG game by the indie studio Finish Line Games. The team is known for such games as Cel Damage HD, Maize and Skully.

Plot

Robots at Midnight is set in a retrofuturistic universe (using the cassette futurism aesthetic). Years ago, the planet of Yob was a luxury resort, but started falling into ruin after being taken over by aggressive robots. We play as Zoe, a feisty heroine traversing the abandoned planet, facing danger, looking for answers about her past and fighting for her future.

Mechanics

Robots at Midnight is a third-person game. The player must traverse Yob, watching out for lurking danger and numerous robots. Aside from regular enemies, who aren't too much of a threat, Zoe must also face powerful bosses. All machines have their unique strengths and weaknesses we must learn to succeed.

Combat is fast-paced, with Zoe wielding the MITT space gauntlet, melee weapons and various combat abilities. The player must stay mobile, jumping, dodging and countering enemy attacks. As we progress further, our gauntlet's power increases, letting us face greater challenges.

Technical aspects

Robots at Midnight features colorful, cartoonish visuals. The game's atmospheric soundtrack is reminiscent of 1980s sci-fi movies.
