ROLLiE and the Desert Drive

About Game

ROLLiE and the Desert Drive is a tactical battle game about robots in the wasteland, fighting for access to the last good pieces of hardware.

Your limited hard drive space will force you to make hard decisions about which programs to keep, making each loadout and playthrough unique. The enemies you encounter will test your strategic thinking as you deploy chosen programs to counteract theirs and smack 'em.

Can you survive, finish your quest and get the coveted prize?
