Available tomorrow on PSN, Shoot Many Robots is an action game with a twist: You can play with up to four people cooperatively online. If you don’t already have an excuse to make three friends and kill some robots, we’ve provided five:
More, More, More
It’s a simple formula. As you add more players to Shoot Many Robots, you’ll encounter more robots, more explosions, and more chaos. Playing with co-op partners increases the number of robots in each level which means more things to kill…and more ways to kill them. And more dead robots means more Nut pickups, which enable you to buy new guns and gear. All of the randomly dropping items like powerups and loot also drop more frequently. In co-op, everything is just more fun.
Co-opetition
At the end of each mission, the players with the highest kill counts are rewarded with more Nuts. This means you must work cooperatively to complete a mission, while also competing for the most kills – hence, “co-opetition.”
Pick-Me-Ups
In co-op, you can revive your partners if they are downed. Having squadmates to keep each other alive will help you get through the more challenging robot battles.
Tutu Strategy
You can equip anything from a tutu to a shark fin, jetpack, tighty whities, and a grenade launcher (to name a few of the hundreds of items available). Each item affects your character’s stats differently, but the real strategic fun starts when you learn to coordinate your getup to complement your squadmates. Crafty teams will coordinate lethal weapon combos like “fire and ice,” where one player slows the robots with a freeze ray while the other annihilates them with a flamethrower (and a raccoon hat that boosts critical hit chance).
Drinking Games
The best reason to play with friends is for the games you can make up outside of Shoot Many Robots. Every time you have to drink to gain health in-game, you have to drink in real life. The player with the lowest kill count at the end of each mission has to wear a tutu… in real life. Get creative, and have fun killing robots with your friends!
How much should my friends and I look to pay for this?
Does anybody know if this will be on the vita? or cross-platform? please let me know
Okay, I’ll give this a shot.
Well well well…… Anyone else notice the green A in the second picture? I’m just saying, if you are talking about Playstation or PS3 at least use the correct console. I am tired of seeing this garbage on my PS3, stuff like “Duke Nukem: Forever” I saw XBOX360 controller and Master Chief’s Armor. This is ridiculous.
A video wouldve bin nice..but i guess i can njoy the demo and see if this game is worth my hard earned 9.99..if thats the price.Im already into the SHOOTING TOWARDS ROBOTS part ..i just hope the game play is as fun as it sounds :p
sony…..it has nearly been 5 weeks since firmware 4.10 killed your official 7.1 stereo wireless headset….where is the fix?!?!?!? this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to be a smart a$$ here but i find it rather funny. Are you trying to sell me this game on my ps3 or something i dont own which is xbox360? The second picture clearly shows its for xbox lol…
@schmeghead2012 quit ur trollin. this is ur 3rd post ive seen 2day about the same thing. sony is not at 4.10 anymore there at 4.11 n mine works just fine.
it seems great to come here on a PlayStation site and show nothing but 360 pictures. why aren’t you guys showing the ps3 version. and don’t give me that crap it looks and plays the same. we’ve been down that road way too many times. I hate how devs do that to us.
What’s funny is they edited the picture and took the A button out… We’re not dumb we still know these are 360 screenshots…
@Schmeghead2010 my Sony headset works perfect I was just using it today.
LMAO… JuggaloMemnoch thanx for pointing that out… Sony and Josh Glavine u guys crack me up lol…
I am really excited this game. Thank you for providing a demo so it will be easy to make a purchase decision. Can you tell us how many players will be supported on one console? I’ve seen conflicting reports between two and four.
Hey guys! To answer a few questions:
It’s $10, and you can play 4 players online, and you can have 2-player couch co-op (who can join online matches, too). There’s no cross-platform play, and no vita version announced.
Sorry about that screen slipup – we’re an indie studio trying our best to get our game out there, and some lackey (the jerk next to me) sent the wrong one! I’ll make sure he wears the office horse head as punishment tomorrow. (http://demiurgestudios.com/uploads/general/blog/kof_horsehead.jpg)
