About BotHacker
BotHacker is a turn-based robot-taming RPG set after the robot apocalypse. Search the ruins, encounter wild machines, and reprogram them into companions that can help the squad survive the next fight.
The current browser build includes a growing roster of bots, elemental-style attributes, attacks, rooms, and upgrade paths. Each new recruit offers different options, so a balanced squad is more useful than relying on one powerful unit.
Hack, Build, and Battle
Battles are one-on-one encounters where the bot you bring and the attack you choose both matter. Hacking enemy machines grows the available roster, while upgrades and stored resources give returning players new ways to prepare.
Explore carefully, test different bot combinations, and keep the squad ready for stronger encounters deeper in the ruins.
How to Play
- Start from the title menu and choose a mode or available room.
- Use the mouse or Enter to confirm options and advance through prompts.
- Hack wild bots to turn new machines into squad members.
- Compare attacks and attributes before committing to a battle.
- Return to the squad and upgrade screens to refine the next run.
