About Orbos

Orbos is a 3rd person online multiplayer shooter with a focus on lite mechanics and quick matches.

Take control of a cute Mechanical Animal Companion Unit, often referred to as "Makus" or more commonly, "Orbos", because of their spherical shape. Play as one of 7 Orbos as they vie for dominance in up to 2 different arena style maps in one of 2 game modes.

Once built by technodruids for assisting research and harvesting a newly discovered crystal energy source, the forgotten robots now run amok in abandoned mines and outposts where resources are now dry.

Fast and frenetic, it's a fight to the finish to be the top bot.

Key Features

[quote][b]Warning: Dead PVP Game[/b] This game has no meaningful single player content, and no playable PvP servers. There is no functioning PvP population, it's a dead game, and cannot be played as intended.[/quote] Orbos was yet another "me too" PvP arena shooter dumped on Steam with the ambition of "going viral" and then getting monetised somehow... but of course it failed for a lot of reasons, and not just the very limited scope of the game with few maps, only 2 gameplay modes, and not much else to offer. adding content to a game. The game was abandoned roughly immediately after launch and hasn't been updated in 6 years and 8 months. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game without any notification or admission of failure from the developer. The game will never be completed. The developers made the fatal, lazy mistake of believing that PvP, other players, would be an acceptable substitute for doing the difficult job of adding single player level design, storytelling, NPCs and other rich aspects of designed game content to the game. As a result of this choice by the developers, the game has little to no actual interactive game content. It's a little co…

Orbos is a small-scale multiplayer arena shooter developed and published by Leisure Police that approaches competitive action with a colorful, unusual personality. Released on Steam in Early Access in 2018 as a free-to-play title, the game puts players in control of spherical mechanical creatures called Orbos. Rather than pursuing the realistic weapons, soldiers, and environments commonly associated with shooters, it builds its identity around robotic characters, compact arenas, straightforward objectives, and deliberately chaotic battles. The result is an approachable multiplayer experiment with some clever ideas, although its unfinished state and very limited amount of content substantially reduce its lasting appeal. The premise gives these strange machines a modest amount of background without allowing the story to interfere with the action. The Orbos were created by technodruids as Mechanical Animal Companion Units, or Makus, intended to assist with research and the harvesting of crystal-based energy. Once the useful resources were depleted, the machines were essentially abandoned in the mines and outposts where they had worked. With little purpose remaining, they eventually b…

Игра 'Orbos' – это восхитительно минималистичная головоломка, которая способна затянуть на часы. Простая концепция – перемещение цветных шаров по ограниченному пространству, чтобы создать гомогенные группы – обманчива. С каждым новым уровнем сложность возрастает, требуя все больше пространственного мышления и логического подхода. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра обладает глубокой стратегической составляющей. Нужно тщательно планировать каждое движение, предвидеть последствия и уметь быстро адаптироваться к изменяющейся ситуации на поле. Одно неверное движение может привести к тупику, требующему перезапуска уровня. Визуальный стиль игры также заслуживает похвалы. Чистые линии, приятные цвета и отсутствие лишних деталей делают игровой процесс комфортным и не отвлекают от решения головоломок. Музыкальное сопровождение ненавязчивое и атмосферное, идеально дополняет медитативный характер игры. В целом, 'Orbos' – это отличный выбор для любителей головоломок, ценящих элегантность, сложность и захватывающий геймплей. Игра отлично подходит для коротких сессий, а также для длительного времяпровождения. Недостатков практически нет, разве что хотелось бы увидеть больше уровней!

It doesn't seem like there will be any updates i had first downloaded this game in June of 2018 I'm unsure if it was the laptop/pc i was using as it was always giving me and the person i was trying to play with the fatal warning i had remembered the game in 2023 and sad to find out it wasn't worked on at all still in Early access development i don't think i even tried to play as i did not have a well working pc at the time and i remembered the game again in 2026 i happen to be gifted a new laptop for valentines day and tried the game finally it actually works instead of the fatal game warning when opening the game but to find out its just a dead game that the camera bugs out when you fall on the stairs in the game I'm surprised it even was playable at this time i had tried it! But the game has been completely abandoned despise what the developer says that they haven't.. they have, i even checked out their Discord they mentioned in other discussion messages and they have no tab/ discussion of Orobs on it at all .... I wish it had active players and the developers were actively trying to update and keep this cute little game up and I'm disappointed it failed
