Disassembling Robots at Midnight – Xbox Wire

Alright, let’s try this.

So, “Robots at Midnight” — sounds like something from a fever dream, and maybe it is. Imagine a planet called Yob. Yeah, Yob. A fancy place once, now left in shambles ’cause of some robot apocalypse or whatever. Enter Zoe, the only meat-and-bones human in a land overrun by mech heads. She’s gotta navigate this mess, dodge angry machines, and maybe find some secrets tucked in the ruins. Honestly, if I were her, I’d get outta there by breakfast, but hey, heroes gotta hero, right?

Yob’s all about that broken beauty vibe — think luxury gone wild. Zoe’s journey, man, it’s personal, it’s intense. A race against… well, more than just time and circuits. Midnight’s the deadline — but why? Seriously, no clue.

Now, about the devs. Finish Line Games, these folks took notes from those From Software legends (because punishing difficulty is totally in, I guess). They wanted everyone to have fun — from casual clickers to hardcore masochists. Their ‘Hero Mode’ — it’s an exploration gig, uncovering Yob’s past and, I dunno, future too? Then there’s ‘Master Mode’ — where robots aim for the jugular. Fun!

Now Zoe, she’s packing the MITT. Picture a tech-glove, but it’s not just a glove — it’s a piece of Zoe. Pretty much something you’d want at your side while dancing with doom robots. Also, Zoe’s got brains. She’s not just flailing some gadget around — she thinks, she plots, she takes on those bots like it’s personal. Probably because it is.

Anyway, Yob isn’t just about Zoe’s bot-bashing escapades. It’s a world waiting to spill its guts, share tales of bygone days and stuff. I guess Frech and his crew want us to stick around after the dust settles and the last bot bites it. They’re hoping for, what’s the word… uh, “immersion”?

Then there’s a whole price thing — $19.99 if you want in on this joyride. Worth it? Depends if battling machine minions and searching for a lost dad sounds worth your while. Oh, right, and returning home before the clock strikes twelve. Typical bedtime drama.

So? Ready to dive in and ask yourself if you can indeed get Zoe back before Yob’s midnight madness? Gear up for action, intrigue, and maybe the odd existential crisis. Happy gaming!
