Our take on Super Roboy
Its progression ties exploration to abilities learned from defeated enemies, replacing a fixed upgrade path with skills gained through combat. The connected map also lets discovery branch away from the main route instead of following a strictly linear sequence.
What is Super Roboy?
Super Roboy is a hand-drawn Metroidvania set in a post-apocalyptic science-fiction world.
Players travel across a connected map, fight mutants and machines, and search away from the main route for concealed rewards. Defeating enemies grants new abilities, including movement improvements and weapons that expand Roboy’s options. Combat also involves elemental effects, status conditions, enemy vulnerabilities, and distinctive attacks. Hand-drawn bosses provide major encounters throughout the journey. The story follows a young robot searching for his father and unfolds through comic-style scenes, with inspiration drawn from Dante’s Divine Comedy and classic science-fiction novels.
