GameSkinny preview
Emma Spalding from GameSkinny came to talk to us at EGX. We spent a while playing and here's her preview of Insane Robots:
"I was instantly drawn in by the bright and cartoony graphics (...) Insane Robots falls into many categories. It has been described as a 2D 'rogue-lite' strategy game with elements of a turn-based card-battler in which you play a robot that has been thrown into an arena due to a malfunction. Your simple aim is to defeat all other robots in the arena and get out!"
