Play Overview
Rubber Bandits (2021) is a fast-paced fighting game where you battle opponents with wacky objects in a race to complete objectives. In each of the eight game modes, you can use anything you find in the levels as a weapon you can throw or use as a melee weapon. With fast-paced fights, wrestling-style over-the-top action, and absurd objectives to reach for, it's lighthearted, low-stakes, and silly fun.
You play with up to three other players and choose from one of the eight game modes, which include a classic all-against-all battle to the death, a robbery game where you need to collect the most artefacts and escape, and a mode where you fight against computer-controlled police. Each player has three lives, and when they are all lost, they can rejoin the round as a policeman who can use their taser to fight.
In each, you can use any item you find, including a torch, a bomb, and even a flamingo statue, to whack others and defeat them. Experimenting with the physics and what you can do with each weapon is essential; coming up with ambitious ways to destroy your opponents can often lead to even more hilarity.
The result is a fast-paced, frenetic party game that offers a wide variety of games that require quick thinking and cunning. The multitude of bizarre and amusing ways you can fight allow for endless moments of unique and hilarious chaos.
