What is Rustbucket Rumble?

On an Earth abandoned by humans, rival robots fight in free-to-play, side-scrolling arena matches. Two teams of three choose from six robots with different weapons and abilities, turn opponents into scrap, and carry it back to base. Collecting enough scrap lets a team build a giant robot to destroy the opposing base.

For you if...

+you enjoy team battles built around unusual capture objectives
+you like choosing robots with different weapons and abilities

Not for you if...

−you want a solo campaign instead of team matches
−you prefer combat without carrying opponents back to base
