About Robot Rumble 2

✦ AI summary

Robot Rumble 2 is a robot combat simulator where you design custom fighting robots using realistic parts and physics, then compete against opponents in arenas filled with hazards. Build anything from tiny beetleweights to massive heavyweights with authentic components like motors, pneumatics, and gearboxes, program AI to fight autonomously, and challenge other players locally or online in a thriving community of robot combat enthusiasts.

Robot Rumble 2 is a robot combat building simulator where you create your robot from real-world parts in the Bot Lab, then take it to the it arena to defeat other robots.
  • Select parts from a wide array of real life inspired components.
  • Balance electric motors, speed controllers and batteries with an in depth electronics simulation.
  • Set up strong flippers using pneumatic cylinders, valves and air tanks.
  • Create super fast spinners or high torque lifters with gearing using chains, belts and an array of gearboxes.
  • Construct your robot with basic parts and custom shapes, all fully simulated using a "welded/bolted connection strength" based damage model.
  • Use real world materials, simulated to behave as in real life, utilising real life data.
  • Decorate your robot with an array of different props, mechanical parts, decals or custom made shapes.
  • Import and export custom robots to download more or share your own creations
  • Program your AI to let your robot fight on its own using the miniscript AI editor, the options are endless!
  • Fight in real world weight classes from the robot combat world: from tiny 3lbs/1.5kg Beetleweights to 340lbs/154kg super heavyweight behemoths!
  • Fight in an array of different arena's, with hazards like hammers, rollers and pits.
  • Import custom arenas that can be downloaded from the Discord
  • Knock out your opponents in configurable matches: against AI or with up to four robots on a single screen!

The different fight modes, all up to four robots, are:
  • AI vs AI, with the ability to custom-code each robot's AI script using the built-in miniscript scripting language
  • Player vs AI
  • Player vs Player - Local multiplayer
  • Player vs Player - Online using Steam Remote Play Together, or 3rd party program Parsec
Robot Rumble 2 is more then just a game, it is a passion driven project with a community of enthusiastic roboteers.
Join the Discord to download custom robots, custom arenas, custom AI's and have a great time with people that share a passion for robot combat.
Also join weekly competitions and tournaments with sometimes over 100 unique robots!
Robot Rumble 2 is a passion project built by and for fans of robotic combat. It is still currently being developed by a dedicated and active team, however this does mean that there are still bugs and placeholder assets that are in use. The game is fully playable in it's current state and has tens of thousands of hours of playtesting from our dedicated community.

✦ AI summary

Robot Rumble 2 offers engaging physics-based robot combat that successfully captures the visceral feel of watching robots collide, with players particularly praising the satisfying mechanics of spinners and flippers. However, the base game launches with limited bot variety and the bot builder tool has a steep learning curve that frustrates casual players, though the community-created bots available through Discord help offset the limited starting roster.

Not recommended Aug 27, 2026
game only came with 5 bots only 2 of which were decent enough to actually play the game. bot maker is very hard to use and requires a lot of skill that casual players likely wont have

This is the game I wanted growing up watching copious amounts of Robot Wars. The physics are really fun to mess around with, I haven't seen another game replicate that visceral feel when two spinners connect but this game does it so well. Flippers are also a lot of fun and you can get some real power behind them which feels great. The community made bots are also excellent (sucks that there is no steam workshop support but the discord is easy enough to navigate and find what you want). A few tweaks that I would love to see added if there are any devs reading this (maybe these exist and I am just not seeing them): The ability to default P3 and P4 to AI driven rather than user driven. A better slider for volume, I have it almost all the way down and it is still very loud. A variety of sounds that play when robots collide, hearing the exact same sound every time can get a bit boring. Crusher physics would be on a dream list but that seems very hard to implement well so I understand why it is missing. If you are at all interested in combat robotics like I am then absolutely give this a go!
