Award-winning Indie Game Studio, Playniac, Bringing Card Battling HACKED to All Major Platforms Next Month
LONDON – Award-winning games studio, Playniac, announced today that its unique card battler, Insane Robots, will be sparking a riotous robot rebellion when it launches on July 10, 2018 on PlayStation 4, followed by Windows and Mac (via Steam) on July 12, and Xbox One on July 13. Players ready for robot-on-robot duels to the death may wish list Insane Robots today on Steam. Pre-orders will also be available soon on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for $15.99 / €15.99 (20% pre-order discount) for the base game and $23.09 / €23.09 for the Insane Robots Deluxe Pack (30% pre-order discount), which also includes a Season Pass with six DLCs.
Initially created as a tabletop prototype with a pile of old business cards, the creators of Insane Robots at Playniac have pulled from both physical and digital design processes. They have created a card battling game that captures what players love most about the genre, removing the elements they hate; namely expensive card expansions, time-consuming customization, farming, and an ever-rising bar that excludes players who don’t purchase more cards. This laser focus freed Playniac to create the perfectly designed battle deck. With only 22 tokens, it is easy to learn and manage, yet full of unexpected turns and strategic depth. Not to be confused with a collectible card game (CCG), Insane Robots is card battling… HACKED!
Insane Robots finds players leading a robot rebellion through randomly generated survival arenas. Full of fiendish card battles, it’s FTL meets Battle Royale in a card game. Overthrow the malevolent robot despot, The Kernel. Save robotkind in an epic 15+ hour single-player campaign full of peril and twists, as a decaying robot dystopia is revealed.
Master the battle deck and develop strategies in super-accessible local, online and single-player robotic skirmishes. Deploy HACKS and GLITCHES in the heat of battle and use your wits to terminate the competition. Battle with over 46 deliciously diverse robots in five hostile environments. Augment devious droids to grow more powerful and trade cutting, robotic insults with opponents along the way.
