Caffeineware brings turn based strategy and roguelikes together in their unique and endlessly replayable strategy experience, Bot Net: Ramshackle Robotics. The IndieGoGo campaign begins February 2020. Try out the free Steam demo now!
The spaceship is disabled, the aliens have boarded and killed everyone in sight. Help isn’t coming, and it’s all on you to take up the roll of the hero, stop the aliens, and save the day. Only one problem; you aren’t a hero. You don’t have a badass suit of power armor, or a big gun, or even a crowbar. You are the ship’s IT guy — and right now — you’re locked in your office armed with nothing but a computer, 3D printer, and a hand full of janitor bots that you’ve hastily reprogrammed for combat. Your only hope of survival is to send your bots out to explore the ruined ship, find vital resources and upgrades, and build a force strong enough to take back control of the ship. Only then can you get the engines back online and warp to safety. Bot Net: Ramshackle Robotics is a turn-based strategy roguelike about fighting off an army of aliens with jury rigged robots. If that idea appeals to you, you’re probably in the right place.
Delve into the easy to learn, but hard to master, Behavior System which blends the exciting tight-knit feel of squad based strategy, with the large scale planning of grand strategy. Build and upgrade your robot army with specialized bot upgrades and powerful weapons and items. Turn the tides of battle by gaining control of Stations; key locations that provide powerful bonuses and large scale effects. Learn to outsmart your enemies by exploiting their unique behaviors!
