About Bad Bots
Bad Bots is a retro style platform shooter with intense robot blasting action and sci-fi story. In Bad Bots you hack and blast your way through an onslaught of truly bad 'bots to find a way to prevent a potentially planet-destroying catastrophe. Bad Bots stars Sam McRae, a grease mechanic aboard the "Titan Hauler" space cargo ship who wakes from cryogenic hypersleep to discover the ship's robotic crew has been reprogrammed to destroy humans. Even worse, the ship has been rerouted on an explosive collision course with Earth. You can play either the Challenges Mode to see if you can survive sixty seconds in a room with an endless supply of robots or the story-based Campaign Mode that includes boss battles, puzzles and a compelling story.
