About Roboden

Roboden is a fresh take on the RTS genre: less micro-control tedium with more units!

I designed this game specifically because of my own lack of competence in high micro-control demanding games.

In this game, you control the entire colonies instead of individual units. Your control is mostly indirect: you modify the colony's priorities so it behaves according to your plans. You don't order a unit production, you make the colony more likely to produce the unit you want. Collect resources, build and combine new drones, and play with friends in cooperative and competitive modes.

This game is a rogue-lite asymmetrical strategy game. It's more about finding your favorite combos and sets of options that allow you to perform even better or have more fun. From a chill player perspective, it can be a relaxing game with meditative gameplay, but it can also be a highly competitive game if you try to beat the global high scores!

Key features:
  • Split-screen local PvP and co-op multiplayer*
  • Asymmetrical RTS gameplay
  • Unique base and units control system
  • Neat pixel art graphics
  • Units combining system for higher tier units
  • About 30 different drones divided into 3 tiers
  • 5 game modes: blitz, classic, arena, infinite arena, and reverse
  • 4 biomes: moon, inferno, snowy tundra, and wisp forest
  • Online leaderboard
  • Procedural level generation with extensive customization

(*) The local multiplayer requires at least 1 controller.

✦ AI summary

Roboden is a streamlined real-time strategy game that successfully distills RTS mechanics into an accessible experience with simple aesthetics, though some players find it too basic while others appreciate the straightforward approach to colony management and unit prioritization. The game features underlying complexity beneath its simple exterior, centered on balancing security, growth, evolution, and resource gathering to build stronger robots, but opinions on whether this balance works are mixed, with some finding it engaging and others finding it merely adequate or even tedious.

Roboden is a real time strategy game where much of the strategising has been simplified to make it accessible for those who do not want to play RTS games with complex systems. It is a simple enough game. You control a colony and decide what the units should prioritise, including security, growth, evolution, and resource gathering. Resources are needed for growth and evolution to make stronger robots that can fight against enemy robots, and be better at gathering and repairing too. I found the game a bit too basic for my tastes, but others may enjoy the simple aesthetics that does have a couple of complex systems underneath it.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
