Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed, linear campaign may find the procedurally generated missions and route selection too variable
- Players looking for real-time combat may not enjoy the turn-based pace and tactical planning
- Players who want a small, tightly defined roster may find the six classes, pilots, equipment, and more than 40 bot types demanding to manage
Our take on Bionic Dues
The defining structure is the campaign route: only 30 to 50 missions are chosen from 120 discovered missions, so preparation for the final robot assault depends on which missions are selected.
What is Bionic Dues?
Bionic Dues is a turn-based tactical roguelite about stopping a robot rebellion before the city is destroyed.
Explore the city map, find loot, and destroy important robotic facilities while choosing 30 to 50 missions from the 120 discovered missions. Mission layouts are procedurally generated and span 23 categories. Build a squad of four Exos from six classes: Assault, Siege, Science, Sniper, Ninja, and Brawler. Procedurally generated equipment provides weapons, defensive improvements, and abilities. Six pilots add campaign-long perks. Enemy robots have faults such as poor navigation, weak aim, distraction, and betrayal that can be used tactically. Campaigns support standard saving and reloading or an ironman mode, with difficulty settings from casual to hardcore.

Bionic Dues compared to similar games
Shogun Showdown also combines turn-based combat with roguelike progression, but it centers on positioning, attack tiles, combos, and deck construction. Bionic Dues instead organizes play around a four-unit Exo squad, mech equipment, mission selection, and enemy-robot weaknesses.
