Sci-Fi Roguelite RPG Robothorium Hits Full Release This Month

Goblinz Studio and Whisper Games have announced that their sci-fi roguelite RPG Robothorium will be leaving Early Access on January 31st.

Lead the robot revolution and overthrow your oppressive human overlords in this narrative-driven roguelite. Take on missions across the world to expand your capabilities and weaken the forces of BreakTech Enterprise. Research new technology and equip your robot army with advanced weaponry scavenged from missions. You can check out a launch trailer above.

Goblinz Studio has also just released a free visual novel called S.A.I.A.’s Awakening ahead of Robothorium‘s full release. This prequel to the main game expands the setting’s lore and sets the stage for the robot uprising you’ll be leading later on.


Here’s a rundown of the game:


2052. Planet Earth. BreakTech, an enterprise specialised in robotic construction, is flourishing thanks to thorium, an unlimited and innovative power source. After many years of exploitation, robots are finally protesting for their rights. But the peaceful movement is quickly escalating to riots and the human repression is near. Now seen as a first degree threat, robots are hunted down and culled throughout the planet.

You, S.I.A, an enhanced artificial intelligence, have to end this surrounding chaos and build a future for your robots. Unite with the new rebel factions, which have been engaged in turf war for months, then deal with cyborgs, humans and robots to lead your own robotic uprising.

Key Features:

  • Lead your own robotic revolution – Your uprising will be unique! Each of your choices will impact random generation and the next missions! They will also change your relations with the 5 different factions present in the game.
  • Turn-based fights – Develop your strategy with 8 classes of robots, each one having its own synergies. Face plenty of enemies designed with unique mechanics and defeat the BreakTech enterprise!
  • Manage your troop of robots – Choose your allies and manage your reserve of robots. Craft and gather powerful items, upgrade your talents and give your support to demonstrations all around the world!
  • Online multiplayer – Face other players and prepare your response by customizing your AI!

Both games are currently available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam, and will be coming to Switch as well on the 31st. Robothorium currently costs $14.99, but the price may increase for the full version.
