Relyk

A game about defending a monolith from an army of broken robots.

Concept

You play as a defending team of diverse robots, arranged around a monolith of power, defending it from the horde of broken robots that seek to tear it down.

• You manage three types of robots whose power is spread among them.
• Each type has a pool of power that is equally divided among the robots of that type.
• You can combine robots of one type to upgrade a robot of another type.
• Each robot type is best at destroying a broken robot of its own type.
• Shared power is proportional to the robot's starting attack, so while upgraded robots share a pool with lesser robots, their attacks will unilaterally be better.

Key Gameplay Elements

• Enemy robots try to attack the monolith
