Robot Evolution

Robot Evolution is a stylish pixel-art action-platformer set amid caves and crackling electricity. Playing the main character, you battle your way through level after level of hostile robots, solving simple puzzles and surviving the hazards each stage throws at you. To take down enemies you wield a range of weapons that you can upgrade by collecting gears hidden in crates along the way — so exploration pays off handsomely. It’s a satisfying blend of combat, platforming and light puzzle-solving with a great retro look. The smart approach is to hunt out every crate for gears, keep your weapons upgraded, and learn each enemy’s pattern before charging in. With steadily tougher levels and plenty to upgrade, there’s a real ‘one more stage’ pull. Punchy, atmospheric and moreish, it’s a great pick for fans of action-platformers with a pixel-art edge.
