I, Robot launch trailer – 1984 Atari arcade shooter reinvented on Nintendo Switch

Atari, along with Llamasoft, readied a launch trailer for I, Robot. The reinvention of the classic 1984 Atari arcade shooter came to Nintendo Switch this week.

Everything you need to know can be found int he following overview:

In I, Robot, you must break free from your creator, take control of the ox-headed robot and outwit the all-seeing eye – avoid the eye at all costs, or else it’s game over.

You’ll navigate across a 3D kaleidoscopic visualizer in each of the 55 platforming and arena levels by flipping tiles to open up pathways to escape. Don’t jump while the eye’s watching, or you’ll be zapped away in a flash, but if you do make it across the tiles, you’ll have to race down a tube and blast away any enemy shapes that move into your path and try to stop you. Don’t get too comfortable, because Minter periodically mixes things up with arena levels that will ignite your synapses with onslaughts of lethal enemies.

Those who need a break from the battle for freedom can jump into the “UNGAME” to channel their inner Jeff Minter and play around with all the sights and sounds from I, Robot at a leisurely pace with no enemies around.

Take a look at the I, Robot launch trailer below.
