  • Turn-based tactics
  • Robots
  • Humour

Turn-based 2D strategy with steam-powered robots: you raid procedurally generated ships and, instead of hit percentages, you aim every shot yourself and bounce your bullets. You can even shoot enemies' hats off and keep them.

Why play it now

When you fancy turn-based tactics without endless battles: each mission usually takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants a funny 2D XCOM where hitting depends on your aim, not on a percentage.

When not to pick it

If you want to play with others: it's single-player only, with no co-op or multiplayer.

What it offers

  • Thinking: 75 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 40 out of 100
  • Managing: 40 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 35 out of 100
