An online PvP mode is one of them.Some other features include: the option to upgrade your RoboSnake using collectibles - cells, expanding on the campaign and story and adding the option to purchase skins for your RoboSnake. Check out our 2019 ROADMAP in the About the Game section for more information.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game already has all the main mechanics of the game implemenyed and is free of major bugs. It also has a Tutorial and Versus modes already available alongside the Campaign.”

About This Game

RoboSnakes: Core Wars Legacy is a game created from dreams of a game, where your mechanical skill, age, dexterity or equipment won’t give you any major advantage, a game where nothing but your intellect could give you an edge on your opponent, player and AI alike.

The effect of those dreams is a game with a completely new idea of the word multiplayer. You will never need to queue up and wait for other people since the players of RoboSnakes leave their mark on the game forever.

What are Core Wars and why the name Core Wars Legacy?


During prehistoric times, or 1984 to be exact, when no one even dreamed about a serious video game market an idea was born. An idea that fascinated us and inspired us. Core Wars in the memories of virtual machines gave birth to games about robot battles in a virtual platform.
This game is our tribute and homage to the original idea and the entire community, which to this day cultivates this original game.


Key Features:


  • Simple and easy to learn, but powerful visual programming system.
    This game isn’t designed for hardcore programmers. It is for people who are looking for an intellectual challenge, therefore the language is easy to understand by anyone and requires no previous experience with coding.
