Robots in Battle

Robots in Battle (RnB for short!) is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play as a hotshot mecha pilot looking to take on all comers as they climb to the top of the mecha fighting league and claim the RnB belt! Customise your deck, upgrade your mecha, enjoy some jazzy tunes and face off with the current champion! And if you prevail and claim their belt, you will become the boss.
