Retro Machina: A Rusty Revolution in a Retro-Futuristic World

Retro Machina isn’t just a game; it’s a poignant exploration of what remains when humanity vanishes. In a world shrouded in a decaying retro-futuristic aesthetic, reminiscent of classic sci-fi illustrations, only one city, Endeavor, survives under a protective dome. Populated solely by robots diligently maintaining this last bastion of civilization, the game throws you into the metallic shoes of a malfunctioning worker, discarded to the junkyard.

Your quest for self-repair becomes a desperate fight for survival. Endeavor, once a sanctuary, now sees you as a threat, unleashing its robotic defenses against you. But you possess a unique advantage: the ability to hack and control other machines. This isn’t just combat; it’s strategic puzzle-solving. Imagine commandeering construction bots to build bridges, repurposing security drones as escorts, or even pitting enemy robots against each other in chaotic, yet satisfying, battles. Dozens of robots, each with unique abilities, await your command.

The hand-drawn visuals, inspired by the visionary work of Jacque Fresco, beautifully capture the game’s melancholic atmosphere. Explore the multifaceted world, from the gleaming streets of Endeavor to the grimy depths of its underbelly, uncovering the mysteries of humanity’s disappearance. The silence, broken only by the whirring of machinery, amplifies the loneliness and the weight of your mission. Are you merely fixing yourself, or are you fixing a broken world? Retro Machina doesn’t offer easy answers, but it does offer a compelling and visually stunning journey through a world grappling with its own obsolescence.
