Rustbuckle Rumble is a side-scrolling, team-based, arena combat game - WITH ROBOTS! Inspiration for the mechanics was taken from classic run and gun games mixed with more modern, class-based, multiplayer shooters. It’s capture-the-flag where the players are the flags.
I think we are overdue for an update to Rustbucket Rumble. Today's patch adds some cool new stuff and fixes some of the most painful bugs.
First off: [b]HATS![/b] You can now outfit your robots with a hat to make sure they are looking good. Some hats can be earned by leveling up, while others can be bought on Steam. Hit the [b]Customize[/b] button on the main menu and find a look that suits you!
We've also changed the way free characters work. Previously, all players had access to the same 2 free characters each week. This led to games where only those two characters were present, which gets boring pretty quickly. We've changed it so that each player gets 2 different free characters each week. So I may have [b]Clancy[/b] and [b]Kasumi[/b] this week, but you may have [b]Bjorn[/b] and [b]Valentina[/b]. We hope that this change will create much more variety in team comps and more interesting matches.
Let us know what you think of the changes in the comments!
