As Captain of the Autonauts Defence Force, you arrive on a planet where Piratebots have seized settlements and captured friendly Autonauts. Your goal is to rebuild your base and push back across the invaded world.
Program Workerbots to gather resources, craft tools, run farms, and maintain production chains. Farming can generate gold for the defense campaign, while careful planning helps keep supplies flowing as your settlement grows.
Build defenses and program squads of combat bots, including Warriors, Archers, and Knights, to repel raids and attack enemy outposts. Advance through five zones, take on Piratebot bosses, and prepare for a final assault on the Dread Pirate Robot's stronghold.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its bot programming and automation, especially the satisfaction of designing routines, troubleshooting them, and watching production systems work. Some also appreciate having map-conquest goals and combat to give those systems a clear purpose. Other reviews find the combat controls awkward or the later gameplay repetitive, so the mix of automation and defense does not work for everyone.
