VIVA NOBOTS Opens Public Alpha Test

Playtesters Wanted on Steam!

"Our entire team is sincerely grateful for your support. If you had the chance to play the prototype game VIVA NOBOTS, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts and feedback with us," said SHUEISHA GAMES, the developer and publisher, in their Steam news post. "Depending on the feedback from this user test, we may be able to move forward toward an official release!"

Sneak, Steal, and Expose!

In VIVA NOBOTS, players engage in a thrilling multiplayer experience, sneaking around ancient ruins to loot precious treasure while staying one step ahead of rival players in 16-player matches. Disguised as one of the many NPC excavation robots, players become a NOBOT—an undercover treasure hunter. The objective is to steal as much treasure as possible and climb to the top of the wanted rankings without getting caught. Blend in seamlessly with the NPC bots, discreetly dig for treasure, and participate in a slots-like roulette mini-game to not only secure loot but also buffs that enhance your treasure-grabbing capabilities.

Players can also use their trusty Doubt Gun to expose sneaky rivals trying to escape with their loot, revealing their true identity and eliminating them from the game. Successfully exposing opponents earns you extra bounty rewards and the treasure they drop. However, be cautious; shooting a real NPC robot will have consequences. Real security bots patrol the area, so swift and stealthy movements are essential to maintain your cover.

To emerge victorious, players must either escape the ruins with their treasure or expose three rivals to gain the ability to perform a "Victory Lap," crowning them the ultimate NOBOT winner!
