Games like Robocraft and Robocraft Royale are certainly more fun with others, but every now and again you need to unplug and just play a game by yourself. That’s where the in-development Robocraft Campaign mode comes into play.
The new feature is making its way in a “first draft” release this coming Thursday, October 11th. The intent with this early release is to collect constructive feedback on the mode’s direction as well as to shake down some bugs. With that in mind, the mode will be feature incomplete, offer only two or three campaigns, and will feature AI that isn’t as intelligent as it will be in its full release.
A dev blog from September offered some more insight into where Campaign mode will be going. The mode will essentially be wave survival, with four waves of enemies and a boss to fight in the fifth wave. Players will have up to five lives, though higher difficulty levels will pare that number down. Campaign modes can also feature build restrictions similar to Brawl mode.
As the mode develops, the team hopes to introduce different Campaign styles like Survival or Timed Elimination, as well as add multiple robot types in a single wave and more weapons fielded by the AI. If the Campaign mode is well received, there are also plans to create a feature that lets players build and share their own Campaigns.
Our Thoughts
First draft or not, this definitely sounds like an intriguing feature for Robocraft and a way to expand the game beyond simply being either an arena brawler or battle royale title. Here’s hoping this open testing pans out and the mode is liked enough to develop further!
