Dejobaan Games describes Drunken Robot Pornography thusly: "You're a small, fleshy human with a jetpack and a gun, and your opponent is a robot centerfold that dwarfs a city block. The robot - called a Titan - tries to cut you apart with lasers and missiles powerful enough to crumble the buildings you're standing on. You pick off the Titan's cannons, fry away its carbon fiber armor, target a joint, and tear off a claw, leaving it writhing. Your furious opponent spews raw plasma at you, so you shoot up a force field and duck behind it. Who will win? The crowd cheers your intimate-yet-deadly dance."
Sounds like a David VS Goliath of the future. But there's a Megaman twist. As a press release put it, "When you're done playing the hero, use pieces of your opponent's shattered body to fashion your own multistory monstrosities, and unleash them on other players. Start with a skeleton of titanium girders, then mount pulse cannons and shielding over hard points. Add actuators so your Titan can flex its arms or tentacles, and jets for locomotion. Pick your materials carefully - an aluminum finish may be pretty, but graphene armor will better withstand attack. Then choose between ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol to temper its personality."
The strategy is a nice addition to a game that will inevitably win a multitude of awards for the "Best. Title. Ever" category.
It's now in development, and is coming later this year. A little indie studio out of Beantown, Dejobaan Games may not be as well known as Ubisoft or EA, but if you've ever played AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, another excellently named title, then you're already familiar with their work. Be sure to check out DRP at this year's PAX Prime's Indie Megabooth.
