Robothorium Devlog: the enemies part 2

Hey everyone,

Welcome to our 13th devlog article about our upcoming tactical RPG, Robothorium. Today we focus on some enemies that you will encounter during your uprising.



If you want more or want to participate to our open beta, come join us on Discord
For those who don’t already know about our game Robothorium, I invite you to read our articles right here

The police


Your uprising has definitely drawn the attention of the U.H. (United Humanity). The intergovernmental organization has been created to improve international cooperation and to create and maintain international order. They are now sending you their troops to bring back order in their provinces.



Basic recruits will tend to shoot at sight and protect their partners. However, the higher graded ones will increase the defense of their allies and reduce the resistance of their opponents.



The Communications Unit


The communications unit are cyborgs connecting the field to the headquarters. They are equipped with a terminal directly grafted to their spine, ensuring their job of perfect support.



Causes significant reductions in mobility and regeneration while protecting themselves.




Agents


These Agents are hotheads employed by private sectors. Real killing machines, they are ready to eradicate any threat.
Large, well protected and well armed, they are one of the best versatile units.



They will shoot you down on sight if you try to break through the labs and the higher graded ones will increase the critical hit chance of their teammates.



That’s all for now. We will be back soon to share with you our progression on Robothorium.

Please share any questions, feedback or thoughts in the comments, we really love to hear from you.

Robothorium Devlog: "The Chip" and crafting



Hey everyone,

Welcome to our 12th devlog article about our upcoming tactical RPG, Robothorium. Today we talk about the last faction ”The Chip” and crafting.



If you want more or want to participate to our open beta, come join us on
Discord

For those who don’t already know about our game Robothorium, I invite you to read our articles
right here


The Chip





Jeff Wiedemann: “Neither flesh nor cogs in a banknote.”


Jeff Wiedemann is an inventive, shrewd and self-interested man, who saw the rise to power of opposition groups as an opportunity to start his own faction, which purports to be completely neutral: the Chip. As their leader, Wiedemann controls the black market where anything available anywhere can be sold freely. He is a clever mechanic, who repairs broken robots and sometimes even improves them in order to increase their resale value.



Although he is working outside of the confines of the law, he remains untouchable: BreakTech needs him and his cache of spare parts. But the truth is that he will work for anyone with the means to pay him.

At the same time, It's him who's going to give you access to the workshop and the hangar.

Faction Bonus:






The Black Market:




The special shop for buying new equipment and component



Hangar:


It is where you repair or sell your robots and buy new one.



Workshop:


In the workshop you can craft new equipment and component with the blueprint that you've found and reforge or recycle your items.




Of course, all these new items change your stats and the look of your robots.

Weapons:




Armors:




And how it looks like in game:





That’s all for now. We will be back soon to share with you our progression on Robothorium.

Robothorium Devlog: The CyberGoliath



Hey everyone,

Welcome to our 9th devlog article about our upcoming tactical RPG, Robothorium. Today we focus on one special Elite enemy: The CyberGoliath




If you want more or want to participate to our open beta, come join us on Discord


The CyberGoliath





The ultimate defense unit from BreakTech, they are deployed on the battlefield to put an end to the most brutal conflicts. Equipped with an extraordinary resistant exo-armor and an immeasurable firepower, these units are engaged in order to do the most damage without worrying about survivors.




They are war veterans, who suffered from lethal injuries. Their brain has been transferred to this metal sarcophagus, controlled by neuronal receptors.

Each Cyber​​Goliath is equipped with an E.V.E. chip, which repackages Cyborgs’ brain to stem the infection of Virus C (see BioThorium’s article). http://steamcommunity.com/games/657090/announcements/detail/2913137257709351967


Gameplay:



The Cyber​​Goliath is an Elite enemy used by BreakTech to exterminate their opponents as quickly as possible. Dangerous and unique, each Cyber​​Goliath has its own personality, the last legacy of its human past.




Indeed, every fight against a CyberGoliath is different. At the beginning of the fight, the CyberGoliath is equipped with random dual weapons out of 4 availble, 2 random active skills out of 6 and 1 random passive skill out of 4 avaible, in addition to his “Irradiated Shot” basic attack.

Example of a CyberGoliath set up:




Irradiated Shot:



Inflicts (x) damage to an enemy. Applies CyberGoliath Scan: Damage taken increased by 10%. Can stack.


Radiant Grenade:



Deals (x) damage to an enemy line. Applies CyberGoliath Scan.


Deafening Hyperfrequency:



Inflicts (x) damage to an enemy and increases his Overload by 20%. Bounces on 2 random enemies if the enemy is affected by CyberGoliath Scan.

Reprogramming (passive)

Benefits from the Reprogramming Status: Turns 1 Penalty into a Bonus at the end of the turn.



That’s all for now. We will be back soon to share with you our progression on Robothorium.
