Description from Steam STEAM

Robot Rhapsody is a 'new-retro' cinematic RPG set in a future world on the edges of machine singularity. ❤️‍🔥 Challenging turn-based combat, inspired by classic RPGs. ⚙️ HACK robot enemies to join the party. UPGRADE them all with distinct items and parts. 💥 Story Themes touching AI, futurism, cultism, dystopias, and transcendence. 🗺️ Open-ended exploration. 💥 Follow Selva, a cynical luddite mercenary. Formerly trained to hunt “rogue” robots, she now lives off-grid in exile. Yet new events drag her back to the technocratic future she can’t escape. ⚙️ Her ally is Jiro, a boy raised entirely within the Aethar Hives ; Underground bomb shelters that have been transformed into AI-controlled “utopias.” Jiro's every move is micromanaged by “godlike” AGI, robots, photo-real VR, and negative-emotion-suppressing systems . Despite their opposite nature, the two are ultimately drawn together. A reluctant friendship that sparks widespread rebellion. 💥 Explore a war-scorched former metropolis; Zoxxo City . Various new neighborhoods, shortcuts, quests, & secrets appear incrementally as the story unfolds! Colorful street vendors, machine smugglers, stem-cell harvesters, cultish luddites, and a deranged robotic carnival troupe are among dozens of NPCs you'll encounter. Inspired by Majora's Mask, they each have their own evolving schedules. Navigate the BOUNTY system : Players will be hunted by malevolent robots , to a greater or lesser extent , stemming from player choices! Gain the chance to Inflict machine-specific status effects, such as SHORT-CIRCUIT (electric stun) , and VIRUS (confused/berserk behavior), to disadvantage the robot foes. Certain characters can use HACK , forcing some robotic enemies to fight alongside the party—or even upgrade them. Unlike human allies; once robot allies reach K/O status, they're gone forever. Unlike Beloved Rapture, our previous title - in Robot Rhapsody, most of the game's world will be completely open from the very start of the game , encouraging greater replay value, and player-defined consequences. The sprawling world offers freedom for the player to chart their own path - yet the "main story" remains cinematic/linear.
