Game mechanics

Insane Robots’ gameplay consists of two parts. The first is an exploration of procedurally generated locations (jungles, moon deserts and more) covered with hexes. The other comes in form of one on one battles – when we meet an enemy, we are taken to a separate arena.

Battles are turn-based and use similar rules to card games; we use chips (cards) by spending a certain amount of energy. We start a duel with five empty slots and try to fill them with two chips for both attacking and defending (two chips of each type must be placed for each of them to work) and one for a special chip that grants us an additional skill. We can attack after collecting both chips and enough energy to use them, and our objective is to reduce an opposing robot’s health points to zero before he can do the same to us.

As we progress through the game, not only we gain access to more chips to create our dream deck, but also forty-five other robots (each with different strong and weak points) and over a hundred augments.
