When we first heard of Bish Bash Bots, it was immediate that this was going to be some kind of Overcooked!-styled gaming experience. And then we found out that tower defense and brawling elements were being thrown in. Now we get the chance to find out how it all works as Bish Bash Bots releases on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC.
From Firestoke and CATASTROPHIC_OVERLOAD, Bish Bash Bots is a new cooperative chaos bringer as players get the chance to work with a variety of game mechanics. There’s some arcade brawling. There’s some strategic tower defense moments. And there’s the mayhem of something like Overcooked! Sold yet?
A new chaotic co-op experience
We think you should be as Bish Bash Bots is set to take the multiplayer world by storm. Whether that be as couch co-op comes to the fore, or the power of the online world wins over, this is one that should well excite.
Bish Bash Bots focuses on a cartoony future world, one in which the machines have taken over the land. It’s left to a bunch of the most unlikely heroes to win over against the rogue robots, ultimately saving the world. Standard gaming fare, no?
Where Bish Bash Bots differs is not just in the various game mechanics. There are some thirty-two levels included here, with eight biomes playing host to the madness. In each you’ll find yourself not just coping as best you can, but trying to find the best way to overcome a host of hazards.
Thankfully the gear given to you should help. Stuff in Bish Bash Bots is upgradable, so you can unlock and build in a number of gadgets, turrets and more. It’s these which should see different forms of strategy coming to the fore.
“Bish Bash Bots fuses the fun chaos of co-op multiplayer with tower defense strategy. Build towers and bash bots with friends, family or in single player,” said James Letherby, co-founder of CATASTROPHIC_OVERLOAD. “We are so proud to be releasing our second game today with Firestoke on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch and hope you have many hours of bot bashin’ fun!”
