Mr. Robot is about a service android named Asimov. He must venture around a corrupted spaceship named the Eidolon. Asimov's job is to stop the main computer from destroying hundreds of humans aboard the ship, in cryo sleep. So players must puzzle-platform, hack, and battle their way through dangerously malfunctioned droids, worker robots, and the corrupted main computer.
Mr. Robot has been in development for nearly two years. The game is isometric based, although, Mr. Robot is in 3D. The game world actually looks more on the line of Bomberman 64. Players will direct Asimov around using classic top-down 8-directions. The interesting aspect to the control scheme, is that the designers wanted the game to have a more well-rounded platform experience. Hence, a lot of the platforming is mirrored on the platform stability of Mario64. So the game will have an even balance to the gameplay if everything goes as planned. According to the developers, “Mr. Robot is a bit like a Swiss army knife of gaming in this respect; the format allows you to throw all kinds of ideas into the mix, and they work really well without seeming out of place as you might expect with any other game style.”
Adventures of Mr. Robot
Already, the game is aimed at telling a story that avid Isaac Asimov fans would eagerly enjoy. Yet, at the same time Mr. Robot contains a general appeal that most of any kind of gamer might enjoy. The general story actually unfolds through the actions of the player. Guiding and directing Asimov around the spaceship Eidolon, saving humans and his fellow robot friends–the story is generally left up to the player’s gaming-style.
Players will spend most of their time venturing through rooms and avoiding corrupted robot foes. The game will also sport a great deal of platforming, which will be sure to appeal to fans of the old SNES Mario games. Players will also be able to collect useful items and use Asimov’s PDA to access vital parts of the ship, or jack into the Eidolon’s system terminals and enter a virtual network that opens up a whole new world of interactivity.
Ghost walkers
The most fascinating aspect of Mr. Robot is the ‘Ghost Hacking’ mode. Here, Ghost Hacking would be the sort of feature that’ll leave long-lasting impressions on both independent gamers, and mainstream gamers alike. The mode is very intriguing; players can use Asimov’s PDA to access any terminal throughout the game. Each terminal will allow players to gain access to the virtual network that links all the ships electronic components together. Using the virtual network is deemed Ghost Hacking, which puts players in a completely different virtual arena to venture around in.
