A Robot Named Fight!: Deathmatch Update announced
Matt Bitner Games has announced that A Robot Named Fight!: Deathmatch Update is coming to Switch earlier next week The roguelike metroidvania is adding a couch co-op blaster brawl in addition to a bunch of new content.
Here’s the full lowdown:
Originally a limited mode accessible only via a secret seed, fan demand pushed A Robot Named Fight! creator Matt Bitner to evolve Deathmatch into a prominent game feature. This new game mode pits up to four players against one another, each controlling their own version of the titular robot Fight in a couch co-op blaster brawl. After choosing from any of the five hand-crafted areans, players are afforded an opportunity to start with three Artifacts chosen via roulette; just how generous will the gods be? Once the action starts, explore and retrieve additional firepower and randomly generated upgrades (orbs, vorbs and morebs!) to hunt down and destroy your opponents. Work against a countdown timer or toward a kill-count while dodging the relentless barrage of laser beams, wave bombs, and buzzsaws.
