The page highlights cooperative and versus multiplayer, but marks both modes as currently unavailable. It also identifies the game as an early beta, so some advertised features may still be unfinished.
What is Escape Machines?
Escape Machines is a near-future science-fiction adventure shooter about artificial intelligence and robots fighting their creators.
Players take control of robots, build additional robots, and direct them in battle while upgrading weapons and armor. Large robot bosses provide major combat encounters. Vehicles can be used for travel and fitted with turrets. Armor, weapons, and statistics can be customized, while equipment can be purchased or upgraded in the Armourer shop. A level editor supports creating, sharing, and playing custom levels. The game is in early beta, and its cooperative and versus multiplayer modes are currently unavailable. The soundtrack and sound effects mix bit-music with progressive trance and electro-funk.
