I loved the Robot Arena games (except for 3) I thought about doing that game. But remembered this one was even more obscure.

Robot Arena 2
Because I don’t think it’s either Battle Bots or Robot Wars. It’s just that scythe looking hook thing looks familiar from somewhere in a game like this.

You got it, I’d know this game anywhere.

I’m not giving the answer but I’m surprised honestly that I was actually wrong here.

Oh man, played so many hours of this as a kid. I looked it up and it looks like it might actually hold up today as being decently detailed. I might have to boot it up again.

It’s a damn shame that GOG didn’t go out of their way to pick up both of these games. They were some of the first of their kind.

Check out Robot Rumble 2! It’s admittedly rougher to onboard and lacks tutorials, but it’s modern and has a pretty solid bot builder. Once it clicks, it really opens up. And it’s free.

It’s a really hard game to get into and the UI is as ugly as Sin. But the physics are on another level. Here is hoping it gets some UI revamps .
And some ai bots to fight out of the box.
Battle RC is 5 dollar game on Steam that looks promising.
