Join the Action in Robots at Midnight
Snail Games USA and Finish Line Games have announced that Robots At Midnight will arrive on PlayStation 5 on August 28. This retro-futuristic action RPG already launched on Steam and Xbox this June. Set on the ruined luxury planet of Yob, it blends fast-paced combat with exploration in a colorful yet chaotic world overrun by malfunctioning machines.
In the game, players take on the role of Zoe, who is searching for her missing father amid a planetwide blackout that has driven Yob’s robotic inhabitants into frenzy. Along the way, she will battle corrupted gangs of robots and confront towering mechanical bosses. All while uncovering the long-hidden truths about the planet’s downfall.
Zoe’s main advantage lies in her space gauntlet, the MITT, originally designed for exploration but now a powerful weapon. The MITT delivers devastating punches, electromagnetic blasts, laser strikes, and enhanced mobility. With it, Zoe can launch off enemies, soar through the air, and unleash momentum-based attacks that combine agility with force.
Robots At Midnight offers two difficulty modes. Hero Mode emphasizes exploration and story, providing an approachable experience for players unfamiliar with Soulslike mechanics. Master Mode delivers a more demanding challenge, requiring precise timing and strategy in every encounter.
Co-Founder at Finish Line Games Daniel Posner stated, “We love soulslike action, but we wanted to offer a combat-heavy, rewarding experience that didn’t wallow in doom and gloom, with a more vibrant, colorful world to explore. We can’t wait for PlayStation players to experience it!”
With its mix of high-energy battles, varied environments, and a distinctive art style, Robots At Midnight aims to offer both newcomers and veterans a fresh take on challenging action RPGs when it lands on PlayStation 5 later this month.
