Robo Pit (ロボピット?) is a robot fighting game released in 1996 for PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The game was developed by Altron and published by Kokopeli Digital Studios outside Japan. A sequel, Robo Pit 2, was released in Japan on PlayStation in 1997 and in Europe and North America in 2003.[6]

The rules are, build a robot and then try to fight your way to the top in arenas that are square in shape. There are many different types of arenas and the time of day can vary.

There are various types of weapons which include The Axe, Lips, Sword, Missile and Claws as well as many more. As you fight your way to the top there are bosses you will fight along the way.

Reception

IGN found the PlayStation version passable, saying, "The graphics are a little plain, especially the combat fields, but the robot design is interesting and usually pretty weird - there's everything from crab robots to Doreamon-like guys. The one-player mode tends to get a little monotonous, what with 100 robots to fight, but the two-player mode is where Robo Pit really shines. It's your standard split screen fare, and while this isn't too distracting, a link option would've been nice."[4]
