Overview
Description

Bad Bots is a retro‑style platform shooter that puts you in the shoes of Sam McRae, a grease mechanic who awakens from cryogenic sleep to find his cargo ship overrun by reprogrammed robots. Blast through waves of enemies, solve puzzles, and battle bosses while racing against a catastrophic collision course with Earth. Choose between a frantic 60‑second endless Challenge Mode or a story‑driven Campaign Mode packed with boss fights, puzzles, and a sci‑fi narrative that unfolds as you hack your way to survival.

In a war-torn world, you wield a revolutionary bionic arm that can extend and contract, giving you unmatched mobility and strength. Your mission takes you through hostile wilderness and deep into enemy fortresses, using a mix of rapid-fire, armor‑piercing and heat‑seeking weapons to dismantle the invaders. The game blends shooter, platforming and adventure elements, offering both single‑player and multiplayer modes that let you experience the classic 1987 action in a modern context.
