We've added another two new multiplayer modes to Insane Robots, bringing the total to six. All For One brings a single endurance battle mode to local and friends two-player battles. This really lets you build up your strategy, prepare your hand, and perhaps set up a surprise Special Boost move. But look out! Late game turns can create unexpected changes on everyone's robots.



The second new mode is Fast 'n Furious, which brings three fast-paced cash battles to local and friends two-player battles. Turns are fast in this mode, as you only have 30s to act. Also life is low - all robots start with only 5 health. If you can keep up with the pace, you can make the moves to max the cash - go for overkill, damage, chains, and cash tokens to stay ahead of your opponent.

Unbelievably, we were so busy with the above, we forgot to let you know that we've also released two new Robot Pack DLCs. Each pack unlocks 4 robots, playable in local, friends and online multiplayer modes plus (NEW!) single-player quick battles. Every robot has 20 spoken insults you can throw at your opponents in the heat of battle!

If you own Insane Robots Deluxe Edition or Season Pass, these packs will already be unlocked in your game.

Each pack is $2.99 on Steam, and gives you the following new robots:

* Scramble - Wakey waaakey…
* Darf Darf - Its bite is worse than its bark
* Ceph - Tentacled and highly advanced multi-tasker
* Unit 09785 - Waste disposal unit that thinks you are trash

* Cutlaz - Arisen from the black seas of infinity
* Kröm - Assassin. Hitbot. Contract scrapper.
* Icebox - Rogue cryo-science bot
* Cypod - It's got its eye on you

There are also some tweaks and fixes in this build. Normal and Tricksy modes now both unlock tokens a bit faster, and AI robots cannot now unlock the Cloud and Clear achievement for you - oops!

We've been continuing to add new multiplayer modes to Insane Robots, and our newBare Knuckle mode brings a gloves-off play style to local and friends two-player battles with no augments added to robots



Recently launched Best of Three mode brings fiercer competition and longer duels to local and friends two-player battles. Slog it out over three battles, to see who is the true Insane Robots master.



Max the Cash mode has two 1v1 battles where winning the battle is not everything. You need to use runs of damage, overkill, cash tokens, and chains to maximise your score over two battles. (You can find out more about all of those with the new Deck Info feature.) This mode makes for a much more strategic 1v1 challenge.

Together with the original Quick Battle mode, where you play one decider battle, there are now four ways to play in your local and friends 2P Insane Robots battles! We'll keep adding more modes, so watch this space...

Insane Robots' latest update brings:

NEW! Local and friends multiplayer mode, Bare Knuckle.



NEW! Team Status mini-panel in the single-player campaign that indicates your team's readiness for the final challenging Insane Robots tournament.



Also, you might notice that for the latest release of Insane Robots we've switched to a new numbering system that, technically, more correctly represents these updates. Now minor fixes between updates will be indicated by a change to the final digit.

Insane Robots V1.0.9, out NOW, brings a load of new features, as well as improvements to the two awesome new difficulty modes released recently.

TRICKSY MODE increases the rate of progression and difficulty with faster unlocks, tougher AIs, higher health cost and more challenging hazards. You can switch it on or off at any time.



ROBO-SLAYER MODE is unlocked after the entire single-player campaign has been completed, and gives super-tough difficulty plus robots that are reset back to bare metal when they die. WARNING: No one has yet completed the game in this mode. We also carried out a major reworking and tuning of all enemy AIs to support the above modes.



Brand new local and friends multiplayer mode MAX THE CASH brings deeper strategy. It's all about getting the most in-battle cash via cash tokens, big attacks, overkill, and chains - so it's about more than just killing your opponent;



Mode select panel for local and friends multiplayer lets you pick between QUICK BATTLE or MAX THE CASH 2P modes. You'll see there are some more multiplayer modes coming soon;

A NEW robot select panel lets you play against AIs using any robots you have unlocked, including from DLC purchases, Season Pass, Deluxe Edition, multiplayer rank, friends battles, and 1P campaign progression;

A NEW lock icon on battle robot pedestals so you always know if your opponent has a locked slot, so if you missed them playing a lock token it's OK (community requested feature);

A NEW equipped item icon in shop's sell panel, so you know if you are selling an item you are currently using (community requested feature);

Online multiplayer robot unlocks are now easier as they occur at lower ranks: 3, 6, 9, etc., 29, 33

Online friends robot unlocks are now easier as they occur at lower friend counts: 1, 3, 5, 7

All this and more in Insane Robots V1.0.9!!!

We are excited to announce that Insane Robots is an Official Selection at IndieCade 2018 and will be part of the fantastic Night Games taking place in Santa Monica, LA from 6 - 10pm on Oct 12th, 2018.

Come play Insane Robots and meet talented USC Games students Ahmad and Michelle, who are showing the game and will be able to tell you all about it!
