Shoot Many Robots is a 2.5D side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter developed by Demiurge Studios and released in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Android. Players fight through waves of malfunctioning robots using a wide arsenal of weapons, with progression systems drawn from role-playing game conventions. The core experience supports up to four players in cooperative play, blending the structure of classic side-scrolling action games with contemporary design sensibilities such as character loadouts and equipment upgrades. The emphasis is on sustained, large-scale combat against dense robot enemies across a series of stages, rewarding players who experiment with different weapon combinations and gear. Its straightforward premise — fight enormous numbers of robots — is the central appeal, executed through mechanics that balance arcade-style action with RPG-influenced customization.
You take control of P. Walter Tugnut (The “P” stands for “Pickles”), a regular guy who stockpiles guns, ammo, and beer in his dilapidated RV awaiting the inevitable robot apocalypse. When the abandoned factory in the distance begins producing robots on its own, Walter sets off in his RV on a robot-killing rampage, hoping to save humanity from an onslaught of robot hordes.
