Caves (roguelike) Wiki

Description[]

Robots are machines created to protect important points or their creators, as well as cyborgs which are organic beings that have undergone significant cybernetic modifications. Most cybernetic creatures have a common weakness: EMP Bombs and acid.

When affected by acid, robots are likely to experience a "short circuit" that will deal a small amount of damage and stun the robot, causing it to miss a turn, while EMP Bombs can damage, blind or even cause a critical glitch on cybernetic beings.

Robots and cyborgs can be found everywhere and their allegiances vary, although the main Robot faction is hostile to the player.
