IGM Forum Find: Pirates vs. Robots

A single-player action game for PC and Mac, Pirates vs. Robots is a free game developed by the student developers at Foxtrot Productions. A pirate named Captain Steelshin (so named for the cannon he has as a substitute for a peg-leg) is on a mission to vanquish Bronzefist, an engineer, and his legion of robots. Steelshin and Bronzefist were best friends until Bronzefist tried to steal the Captain’s ship. There was a fight, Bronzefist scarpered, and now Captain Steelshin is on a mission to find him, and destroy the army of robots that are threatening the population.

Built in Unity, Pirates vs. Robots is very close to an ARPG, and features ascending difficulty in enemies, as well as ragdoll physics in battle. Armed with only a sword, a basic pistol, and the namesake cannon-leg, the player must fight their way through an ever-increasing wave of robots to reach their goal of defeating Bronzefist.

 

Pirates vs. Robots is free to download, either on the developer’s website, or on IndieDB. You can follow the game’s progress on Facebook, and, of course in the original forum post.
