About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a show of metal and sparks! VOLT: Robot Battle Arena throws you into the heart of a robot combat arena that has become world-famous, complete with sponsorship from tech giants and increasingly sinister robots. The objective is simple: be the first to accumulate five victory points. How? By controlling the active control point at the end of the round or, if you prefer a more direct method, by destroying opposing robots. Each robot has its unique tricks and powers, so the key to victory lies in planning your moves in advance. You'll program a sequence of actions, anticipating your opponent's steps and trying to outmaneuver their strategy. It's a tactical game where foresight and maneuvering are essential. With fast and intense matches, VOLT is perfect for those who enjoy a good robot duel, with that touch of strategy and a visual style reminiscent of the most exciting sci-fi battles. If you like thinking a few steps ahead and seeing your robotic plans come to fruition, this arena is for you!
