Sneak, Steal, and Expose!
This exciting multiplayer title revolves around sneakily looting precious treasure while being wary of other rival players in 16-player matches. In VIVA NOBOTS, you'll disguise yourself as one of the many NPC excavation robots in ancient ruins, playing as a NOBOT—an incognito treasure hunter. The game's objective is to steal as much treasure as possible to rise to the top of the wanted rankings, all while avoiding detection by opponents. Blend in seamlessly with the actual NPC bots, discreetly dig for treasure, and play a slots-like roulette mini-game to acquire not only loot but also buffs to enhance your treasure-grabbing abilities.
Players can also use their trusty Doubt Gun to expose sneaky rivals attempting to make a quick getaway, revealing their true identity and eliminating them. Exposing opponents rewards the catcher with extra bounty and the treasure they dropped. However, caution is key—shooting a real NPC robot will lead to consequences. Real security bots patrol the area, so staying swift and stealthy is crucial to maintaining your undercover status.
To win, players must either successfully escape the ruins with their treasure or expose three rivals and earn the ability to perform a "Victory Lap," celebrating their victory. In VIVA NOBOTS, the best NOBOT emerges as the ultimate winner!
