Bish Bash Bots

Defend your EMP station by strategically placing towers and fending off robots with your hammer.

In the distant future, there are as many robots as people. Humas no longer need to work, because robots do all the daily chores. Life is stress-free … until the robots start to rebel against their makers. Fortunately, a team of four students has created a device that emits an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and can be used to restore life as they knew it. In “Bish Bash Bots”, these students (controlled by up to 4 players in local or online co-op mode) travel around the world to reset all robots in the respective areas.

The game is presented in single-screen stages where you must protect your EMP from approaching robots as it charges. You do this by smashing robots with your hammer, collecting scratches to build defense towers and upgrading existing ones to make them more effective. There are, of course, different types of enemies and different types of towers to counter them. Most interesting, however, is the level design, which regularly changes things up by introducing additional challenges. In one level, for example, you can use a crane to grab enemies and drop them into the abyss.

“Bish Bash Bots” is a perfect blend of tower defence mechanics, cooperative gameplay and light brawling. If you like the genre and want to have a good time with friends or family, you should definitely give this one a try. The game can get challenging at times, but it’s a lot of fun and feels very polished.

Why you should play it:

• Unqiue blend of good tower defense mechanics, clever level design and solid co-op elements.
• Colorful and family-friendly art style; even the invading robots look so cute!
