If Minecraft smashed straight into World of Tanks you’d get Robocraft, and you’re already missing out on this free-to-play MMO vehicle shooter. It’s very unique, and there is nothing quite like it on the market at the moment, especially for free!

It is currently an open-alpha game, and is being developed and published by the indie video game developer Freejam Games based out of the United Kingdom.

The game features contained areas (called Garages) in which players can build various functional vehicles with very basic parts (such as cubes and wheels) along with weapons that can be used for combat.

The initial alpha build was released in March 2013, featuring a single-player building and test mode. In April 2013, Freejam Games released multiplayer combat. Content updates and bug fixes for the game are released a few times each month.

On April 14, 2014, the company revealed that Robocraft had gained over 300,000 players in a few months; the game continues to attract many players, notably, international players from non-english speaking countries.

It is also available as a Steam platform release.
