Reality TV meets roguelike chaos in Melbot Studios’ genre-bending new title
As revealed during the Six One Indie Showcase today, Melbot Studios is thrilled to announce GodsTV, a chaotic top down co-op roguelike ARPG that blends irreverent cosmic satire with deep, bold action and narrative. The game’s demo is also available alongside the announcement, inviting players to dive headfirst into a twisted universe where gods pull the strings and contestants fight for fame, glory, and survival. Check out the announcement trailer below!
GodsTV blends fast-paced action with dark satire, putting players in the shoes of four unlikely contenders battling through brutal contests orchestrated by unhinged gods. Choose a deity to serve, earn divine gifts, and climb the fame ladder one absurd broadcast at a time. Every death is more than failure — it’s a chance to regroup backstage, strike shady deals to shape your rise to fame, and return flashier than ever.
Whether flying solo or teaming up in co-op mode, players face ever-evolving challenges that change with each run. To succeed, players must earn the favor of the gods, unlock signature weapons and skills, and expand their fanbase as they fight to become the greatest stars of the interdimensional Fame Show Arena. GodsTV is a ruthless, punk rock take on fame, showbiz, and consumerism where the Contenders will sacrifice it all for clout in a hilarious quest for stardom.
Melbot has partnered with Spud Gun Studios, the animation house behind the hit channel Mashed (5M subscribers) to co-produce the narrative side of the game and the GodsTV animated series for Youtube.
Key Features:
- Reality TV Meets Roguelike: Experience a fresh game loop in which every death brings new laughs, fresh challenges, and unpredictable plot twists.
- Solo or Co-Op Play: Choose your contender and tackle the mayhem alone or team up with a friend to survive longer together.
- Dynamic Evolution: Arenas, rules, and challenges shift with the TV Show mechanics, keeping the game fresh and players on their toes.
- Cartoon Meets Punk Rock: Bursting with color and personality, GodsTV brings chaos to life through a vibrant art style and character that makes every run feel like a twisted reality game show.
