You can also build and test your very own robot, but you can’t actually take it into the arena at the moment (hopefully in the upcoming Beta though). It allows you to control a variety of different styles of robot, with an assortment of different weaponry – including spikes, flails, spinners, wedges and flippers.

In the Alpha build there are nine playable robots (most of which are officially licensed versions of real-life bots) and four different arenas to do battle in.

The devs are aiming to have battles with up to 6 robots in the arena at a time (which may be in the Beta) but in the current Alpha battles are limited to 1v1 against AI or in local multiplayer. It allows you to create and take control of all manner of different types of robots in different hazard filled arenas, with you attempting to either incapacitate your opponent, flip them out the arena or drop them down a pit. If you’ve ever enjoyed watching robot combat shows like Robot Wars or BattleBots then you’ll get a real kick out of Robot Rumble 2.0. Robot Rumble 2.0 is an awesome Robot Wars/BattleBots TV show style robot battling game where you can build and customize your own combat robot and test your mettle (and your metal) in the arena.
