Description
Become the commander of a mighty army of fearsome battledroids, and watch them fight in epic battles of mass destruction. Create your defences and test their strength, or send your forces to crush those of your friends and enemies online! The game is all about planning and strategy - once launched, your attack is entirely autonomous, and you can sit back and watch the cinematic orgy of destruction on the edge of your seat waiting to see the outcome.
History
BATTLEDROID was initially conceived as a multiplayer sequel to Puppygames' 2010 hit, Revenge of the Titans. With the arrival of Daniel Isheden to the team, the game switched to using a completely bespoke, state-of-the-art voxel rendering engine. All video in promotional material is directly recorded in-game footage.
KickstarterUK-based micro-studio Puppygames has launched a Kickstarter to get their latest game BATTLEDROID released to the general public. Puppygames has been developing BATTLEDROID for 14 years, and seeks funding to ensure a successful launch to get it over the line.
"BATTLEDROID is a deep and complex game, which is why it's taken us so long to make it," says Caspian Prince, director of Puppygames. "We're really close to unveiling it to the masses, but we just need a bit of funding for polish and testing before we can let the whole world get blown up."
The Kickstarter will run until 28th June 2024.
