“We’re really proud of what we’ve been able to put together for Exploding Robots at this early stage in development, and bringing on experts in this space such as Reverb will only make the remainder of our journey that much easier,” said Jene-Rene Couture, president of GolemLabs. “They bring the same level of excitement to getting a game to market as we do in creating one, and that’s something we love to see.”

- Eight maps available at launch
- Five unique robot classes – Bomber, Sentry, Engineer, Scout, and Spy
- Groundbreaking EHE technology powered AI system, making for robots that adapt on the fly according to your style of gameplay
