If you’ve been looking for a new roguelike to play over the holidays, look no further than Botlike: A Robots Rampage. The game puts you in the shoes of S.I.R., a grumpy old warbot. He’s out for revenge and it’s your duty to help him get there. The game combines both platformer action with “the roguelike manner of certain death”.

“Botlike is in early access since September and with regular patches, a lot of content has been added. With the new champion system now in place we are currently working on the next big patch. It will include the long-awaited second level which will be set on a Mech graveyard. It’s the next big step on our roadmap through early access and it will add several more hours of playtime, with new places to explore, new encounter to master and new secrets to be found. New Tracks will be added to the already great soundtrack for more atmosphere and new mechanics will challenge your skill as you fight yourself through hordes of new enemies.” – Björn Clasen, Lead Developer
