Firestoke and Catastrophic_Overload have announced that Bish Bash Bots will release on Nintendo Switch in the coming months.
With the gameplay experience pitched as the “mayhem and madness of Overcooked mashed up with a strategic tower defence game,” this co-op party game supports up to four players in local or online multiplayer.
In a cartoony take on a future where machines have stolen technology from humans and are turning it against them, a team of unlikely heroes must work to reset the rogue robots and save the world.
With 8 “vibrant and colourful” biomes across 32 levels, you must overcome hazards such as overheating turrets in the Volcano biome or mutant plants that threaten to snatch up players in the overgrown Jungle biome.
With new gameplay mechanics “constantly introduced as the game progresses,” you will have the chance to build upgradeable turrets, unlock gadgets and bash bots with giant hammers – mixing up your strategy as needed.
“Bish Bash Bots is a big step up for us as a studio – delving into the world of 3D, online AND releasing on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch as well as PC! Phew!” explains Catastrophic_Overload co-founder James Letherby. “We are super happy to be able to bring you something new and hopefully exciting. As lovers of co-op we can’t wait for you to bash some bots with your friends.”
Firestoke CEO Paul Farley adds: “Bish Bash Bots is shaping up for a late summer 2023 launch. It was one of the first games we signed when founding Firestoke and the partnership with the talented team at Catastrophic_Overload has been a lot of fun. Not only are they a super creative team, they also have a keen understanding of what players want. They’ve been able to channel their passion for the game into something that is at the same time both familiar and yet unique in the tower defense genre. Their sense of fun and innovation definitely shines through with all that Bish Bash Bots has to offer!”
Bish Bash Bots will release digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Summer 2023.
