Our take on RAM: Random Access Mayhem
The body-swapping premise creates variety across enemy hosts, but it gives up the continuity of a single hero. Combat identity is tied to whichever robot is currently occupied, which may feel less consistent than controlling one character throughout a run.
What is RAM: Random Access Mayhem?
RAM is a top-down roguelike shooter in which a rogue AI survives by taking control of enemy robots instead of using a dedicated player character.
Each host has its own moveset, playstyle, weapons, and upgrade options. Control can shift between enemy types as the current body breaks down. Runs cross procedurally generated levels set among the ruins of human civilization and inhabited by unusual robot societies. Combat techniques and trickshots produce style points that function as in-run currency, allowing upgrades that alter how host robots work. The game also features bosses with mechanics connected to swapping between enemy bodies.
