If your summer needs a fresh adventure, Robots at Midnight is one of those hidden indie gems you shouldn’t miss. This action RPG from Finish Line Games puts you in the sneakers of Zoe—an agile, tough, and curious hero—waking up on the ruined luxury planet of Yob. What used to be a high-tech paradise is now crawling with rogue robots, fragmented factions, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Catch our gameplay coverage right here... right now and see why this $19.99 adventure is a great pick for anyone craving sci-fi action with personality.
You’ll face off against corrupted AI gangs, spar with towering bosses, and bounce between lore-rich areas controlled by groups like the human-engineered Brass Thorn Coalition, the intense Chrome Ecclesiasts, and the mysterious Null Protocol. The combat? Fast, fluid, and fun to learn—with stylish momentum-based movement powered by Zoe’s space-gauntlet, The MITT.
Now, I’ve gotta say—those first moments on the ship? A little too dim and dreamlike for my taste. Even with the sun technically shining after the fact, it felt dull. Increasing the vibrancy once Zoe awakens, would really help the world and help the characters pop (brightness was increased to 0.75). Still, once you're out in the wild, it’s a whole different energy with a beautiful toonish artstyle!
Whether you're new to the genre or a seasoned dodge-roller, Robots at Midnight brings charm, challenge, and a whole lot of style to your summer playlist.
