Get your wrenches ready and your cooling systems primed. AI.VI, the highly anticipated FPS/Tower Defence hybrid from developer Out of Time and publisher indie.io, is officially set to drop on March 18, 2026.
If you’ve been looking for a game that lets you stick it to the man—specifically, a soul-crushing intergalactic gigacorporation—while literally slapping the metal off of robotic goons, your retirement on the desert moon of Sohot is about to get a lot more violent.
The Story: Retirement is Over
You play as the titular AI.VI, a retired war bot who just wanted a quiet life mining batteries. Unfortunately, the P.A.S.C.A.L. Gigacorporation has other plans. They’ve arrived to strip-mine the planet and execute a “voluntary merger” (read: total conquest) of everything in their path.
But P.A.S.C.A.L. made one fatal error in their profit-margin calculations: they tried to scrap a bot that was built for one thing—incredible violence.
Gameplay: FPS Meets Tower Defence
AI.VI isn’t just about pulling a trigger; it’s about tactical demolition. The game blends high-octane first-person shooting with strategic base defence.
- The Arsenal: Use “homemade” weaponry that ranges from the practical to the “how does this even work?” We’re talking pump-action cameras, combination pickaxe-crossbows, and jack-in-the-boxes filled with explosive plushes.
- The Traps: Automate the carnage by setting up traps that turn P.A.S.C.A.L.’s “assets” into second-hand scrap.
- The Elements: Strategy runs deep with four core elements—Fire, Ice, Acid, and Electricity. Mixing these creates elemental reactions that can melt, freeze, or short-circuit different types of enemy armour.
Why You Should Care
Unlike modern tech built with planned obsolescence, AI.VI is a relic of the “good old days.” This translates to a flexible upgrade system where you can overclock your loadout with permanent and temporary power-ups. There’s no limit to how powerful you can become as you “seize the means of production” back from the corporate overlords.
“Look into the minds of enemy robots to hear their final thoughts as they are sent to the great scrapyard in the sky!”
