Robot Arena Survivors News

Hello everyone!

First, thanks to all of you who played the demo, sent feedback, wishlisted and made content about the game! It was a blast to review all of that!

In order to make the demo more accessible and enjoyable, I just released an update. Here is the changelog!

• Major gameplay change within arena runs: you now have 2 minutes to defeat an Elite enemy. When they leave, you'll just go to the next wave without losing the run but you won't get the bonus Tokens that you could have won if you defeated them.
  
• Slight reduction of the amount of Elites to beat to finish a run.
  
• Modified the amount gained or % increases of the rewards you can collect during a run, because some of them weren't very interesting.
  
• Added a preview of the future second arena of the game, not playable in the demo.
  
• Some localization fixes.
  

Thank you and have fun playing the game!

After months of work and a very insightful private playtest month, we're pleased to announce that the official Demo version of Robot Arena Survivors is now out on Steam!



Robot Arena Survivors is a single-player arena auto-shooter. You are piloting one of your own Hovercraft Units to fight against many waves of deadly robots. Unlock powerful abilities and rewards to get the job done.

If you wanna show some support and help a fellow indie dev, please consider giving the game a wishlist!

The demo version already includes enough fun to probably play for a few hours!

[h2]One procedural arena, but 5 different difficulty levels![/h2]


The demo only contains one arena to play with (and more will come in the near future, with their own challenges and enemies). But with that, face 5 different difficulty levels that will bring more danger to your attempts! With more difficulty:

• More waves to go through!
  
• More variety of enemies, with really hard encounters!
  
• Even more tokens (in-game currency) as a reward!
  

[h2]Strategize, and get'em all[/h2]


As a traditionnal roguelite auto-shooter game, you'll get to decide on various rewards and new abilities during a run. Plan carefully and become overpowered to crush all robotic resistance!

With the demo, you'll get to play with the MK-01 Blue Shell unit and its Auto Cannon, unlocked by default. But if you play for a few missions, you'll get enough tokens (in-game currency) to unlock the second unit available, the MK-02 Fire Storm and its glorious Plasma Cannon!

[h2]Permanent upgrades[/h2]


The more you'll play, the more tokens (in-game currency) you'll get! Use them to enhance your base stats in order to become stronger and perform better over time!



The development of the game started on January, 15th 2024, by a solo indie game developer (me) wanting to mix its love for robots and suvivors-like games into a single project: Robot Arena Survivors.

A first prototype was quickly made to test-out the idea with our Discord community, and we manage to validate the game feel and some aspects of the game design - but not all of them. Then, a few months of work on the core gameplay loop and tons of polish later turned this prototype into the current demo version you're about to try!

Like we did in the previous game we made, Escape Space, we've teamed-up again with the amazing Scott Hsu for the music and, this time, the global sound design of the game.
