Rats, rats never change…unless called to arms by the glorious Rat King to stamp out the vile TechnoRat army! Developed and published by solo developer wootusart Industries, in War Rats: The Rat em Up, you take on the role of rat commander in the middle of a world war taking place on a world run by rats. Through recruitment, collecting, and advancing gear, you will bolster the strength of your rat army and crush the TechnoRats in this brutal 2D side-scrolling shooter. Elements of tower defense and light RPG mechanics, alongside a hand-drawn, gore-filled world, look to create a viceral good time.
The war begins on April 22, 2025, and if you simply can’t wait to do your part, there is a demo available now on the official Steam page.
War Rats KEY FEATURES: (Words From wootusart Industries)
- Brutal 2D Shooting Action: Engage in brutal, fast-paced, strategic battles against hordes of enemies. (Did I say brutal enough yet?)
- Recruit Troops: Going in alone is sure to lead to failure. Make sure you utilize your troops effectively or it’s GG. Call in reinforcements at key times to turn the tide of battle in your favour.
- Buy New Weapons and Gear: Earn credits (CHz) and upgrade at the shop (rat dealer) to give yourself an edge over the endless hordes that are only going to get stronger and stranger as you get closer to TechnoRat HQ.
- Base Building: Build turrets, shrines, walls, resource generators and missile launchers to counter and overwhelm the armies of TechnoRat.
- Roguelike Progression: You have one life to fight through each district and try to reach the TechnoRat HQ and shut them down permanently. On death, spend your hard earned CHz to upgrade your attributes to do better!
- Iron Rat Mode: If you like a challenge, enable this toggle to turn your run even more hardcore! Start over at level 1 again if you die, but keep the core gameplay loop of upgrading with whatever you earned during that run.
- Unique Art Style: Experience the world of Ratopia with graphics all hand-drawn by rat artist wootusart (Me!). (Meaning I am an artist who draws rats, not that I am a rat that is an artist. That would be crazy.)
- Skirmish Mode: Select any map and just go at it, for practice or for fun. Or both!
- Multiplayer (Coming Soon): Grab a friend and go rat-toe to rat-toe on any of the maps featured in the game.
