Gear Up - Game Pitch

Imagine a game where you’re not just controlling a robot in battle—you’re designing it, optimizing it, and upgrading it to face off against a sentient AI that’s taken over a town’s worker bots. Welcome to GearUp, a robot combat game that puts customization and strategy at the heart of every encounter.

In GearUp, players will battle enemy robots to collect armor, weapons, and XP, constantly improving their build as they prepare for the ultimate showdown. The stakes are high—only the best-prepared players will make it through.

We designed GearUp to offer a deep level of customization. Players will collect different types of armor and weapons, each with specific traits like Physical, Laser, or EMP protection and damage. Building the perfect robot for each challenge is key to success, as enemies will test your strategy with different attack types and abilities. This isn't just about brute strength—it’s about smart decisions, tactical loadouts, and outthinking your opponent.

To keep the game exciting, we introduced an item scaling system that grows with the player. As you level up, so do your enemies, keeping the game challenging and ensuring each battle feels fresh. At the finally of this journey is the boss fight—a thrilling, multi-robot encounter where only the best-prepared players will stand a chance.

With strategic depth, a rewarding progression system, and challenging encounters, GearUp is more than just a turn-based RPG—it’s a test of your ability to think ahead and adapt. If you're ready to customize, battle, and defeat the AI, then GearUp is the game for you.
