We made a Robot Wars-inspired fantasy game for PC
Hey! I'm MaxCJ, a video game developer and a huge fan of the series - and found that the amount of games in the genre were sorely lacking something more light-hearted.
MechaCap Arena is my love letter to Robot Wars in a mushroom fantasy setting. You build and assemble robots and take them to the arena to dust it out in classic combat.
It's not as intricate as some of the other simulators out there, but focuses more on something that's a bit easier to pick up and enjoy! For example, to assemble a bot you pick a hull and which attachment to use - be it hammers, pistons or flippers.
It has about 2h story across multiple towns with a voiced cast (a made-up language for the commentators), and a 4 player combat mode (either locally with multiple gamepads/controllers or playable with friends on the Steam platform online, only one needs to own the game!)
We released about 3 months ago, but didn't really market it that heavily so thought I'd share it now that we put it on sale as maybe there are more fans of the genre in here!
