New games: Mad Machines is the heavy metal Rocket League

You can see some pretty insane stuff in Rocket League, no doubt, but ultimately is a friendly game between polite R/C cars. Let’s take it up a notch, shall we? Replace the cars with extremely angry robots who want to kick the oily snot out of each other, and make the ball a… okay, it’s still a ball, but now it has spikes and magnets. That just about gets us to Mad Machines, which recently entered early access on Discord’s newly-launched games store. The description reads like it was dictated by one of the robotic characters: STOP WAITING AND SMASH SOME BALLS, it says at one point. The basics of what’s going on aren’t hard to understand: this is about putting a ball in your opponents’ goal. You’ve got three robots to choose from at this point - one has an axe, another gets a chainsaw arm, and a third fires missiles. My dad always told me never to bring an axe to a missile fight, but he never believed in robots.
