If you'd like to join us for the launch, we are streaming live from 17:00 GMT for one hour or so.

- One day until launch - read all about it - 16 August 2022
Here we are, at the point of no return. Only ONE DAY until Robo Revenge Squad hits Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch like a metal tornado. If you’re one of the people who bought the Early Access version and waited patiently for the full release, first of all – THANK YOU! You are the best and all of us here at Rikodu are deeply grateful to you for sticking around. It’s been a much longer journey than we expected but it’s a great feeling to finally reach this point. Now, let’s get down and dirty. If you played the Early Access version, here’s a rundown of the features and improvements you’ll find in the full version: A new “Workshop” for unlocking and upgrading parts. This is the biggest feature change and allows you to decide how you’d like to specialize your bot rather than just unlocking parts in the same order as you level up. Want more healing? Go for the Defibrillator and the Glue Gu…
- Robo Revenge Squad launching on Aug 17th! - 21 July 2022
Greetings, our robotic friends. We have amazing news! You read it in the title already, but let's say it again for emphasis - Robo Revenge Squad is coming out of Early Access and launching in full, polished form on August 17th! That's 2022 if you were wondering. :) If you played the Early Access version, expect deeper weapon customization, more parts and even meaner enemies to smash. We'll share more information about the new stuff in the upcoming weeks but for now, know that the date is finally set in stone and you'll be able to play the most polished, customizable and lovingly crafted version of Robo Revenge Squad (formerly Frankie's Revenge) ever. Here's a fancy trailer to show it off: More updates coming between now and then. Stay tuned! -Team Rikodu
- Last chance to get Early Access pricing and a 25% discount! - 26 June 2020
Ah, summer! That time of the year when you just want to pull your hiking boots on, get out of the house and DESTROY ALL YOUR ENEMIES! If you totally get that feeling, we've got some great news. Frankie's Revenge is now at the lowest price it's ever been and will be for a good time to come. At 25% off, now is the best time to get it if you've been on the fence. After the Summer Sale and in preparation for the full release, we'll be raising the price to $19.99. We strongly believe this reflects all the work and effort that went into the game and more importantly the extra quality that we think you'll appreciate once that 1.0 build drops. To thank those of you who have been following and supporting us in Early Access, this is a special chance to get the game at a really low price and receive the full version Soon (TM). So what's coming in 1.0? Since we've been quiet for a while, let me lis…
- Development status update - 22 November 2019
Greetings all junkyard warriors! It's time for an update on the development and release plans for Frankie's Revenge. The last time we talked about future plans, we told you that we were at a crossroads in deciding what features to focus on for the full release. We also set an update schedule for ourselves that we couldn't quite keep up with. So, let's talk about both of these and lay out a path for what to expect. Where are my updates? Since launching in Early Access, we released 5 updates, including one major content update, and launched the Supporter Pack and Invaders Edition. We set out to release monthly feature updates but as it turns out this just wasn't feasible for our very small team. Small as it may be, Team Rikodu has been 100% focused on improving and adding to Frankie's Revenge. As we did so, we asked ourselves: should we release regular feature updates or put all our energ…

- Patch Notes for 0.3.1194 - 26 July 2019
In the first update since Le Kraque, lots of bugfixes and improvements. Here's the full list. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that sometimes caused players to fall through the ground Fixed a bug that sometimes caused player bots to turn and spin in an uncontrolled motion when going up ramps or standing next to ledges Fixed the "clone bug" that caused two robots to spawn for a player when joining an online game that's in the evac or round scoring phase Fixed bug that caused online games to sometimes be listed in multiple regions Fixed bug that sometimes caused the Find Game screen to show up empty for 10-15 seconds before listing the existing games Fixed Score Screen bug that caused score bars to sometimes have incorrect heights (the player with the lower score could appear higher than the player with the higher score) Fixed bug that sometimes had network clients kicked out of the score screen bef…

No, you are not prepared. The first major update is here! Le Kraque At the end of the second campaign and if you've gathered enough stars you will find an entirely new boss battle, even harder than Juicy Joe. You'll need to be quick on your... err... lawnmower to defeat this monster and claim the title of Kraqueslayer. Gather your friends, oil up your Frankie parts and slay enough alien-infested robots to unlock Le Kraque's watery lair. Be sure to post a screenshot if you're able to defeat this monster!

It's time to talk about future plans for Frankie's Revenge as we continue growing the game in Early Access. Remember to jump on our Discord at https://discord.gg/5cfetHm, where we talk about these things regularly. Update Schedule Since launching on May 31st we released 3 patches, which were all about squashing bugs and small quality of life improvements like SFX volume tuning and highlighting newly unlocked parts & skins. Most of our energy went into these bugfixes, especially the online connectivity issues that some of you have experienced. With the latest patch — delivered today — we believe that we've fixed the last problems related to creating and joining online games. Thank you for your patience and for taking the…

As the launch weekend winds down and we're solidly into mid-week, here's build 0.2.1143, patching up some of the (sometimes funny, sometimes not so funny) bugs everyone reported over the weekend.

- Launch slightly delayed - 28 May 2019
Today was bound to be Frankie's big day but like our Defbirillator friend here just found out, things don't always work out as planned. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32388915%2Fe65dac7ab031cbc03097419752eec9fb8d43a558.jpg https://imgur.com/a/6r5g4vX It's with great sadness that we have to announce that Frankie isn't being released today. There was some trouble with the Steam build approval and we are still waiting for the final go-ahead to release it. Unfortunately, that means we have to push the launch back by a few days. We hope it won't be more than a few days but at this point in time we can't say an exact date. Our sincere apologies to those of you who were waiting to play. We're as eager as you are to get Frankie's Revenge out there and in your hands and will do so as soon as robotically possible. -Team Rikodu

Frankie’s Revenge is unleashed upon the world in less than a week, so what better time to talk about what's coming in Early Access? Here’s a quick rundown. Starting with your trusty robot components, you will begin the game with a few basic parts but will be able to unlock up to 20, as you gain experience and level up. Each part gives you some unique skills or abilities and you can mix and match them in any combinations and further customize your creation with more than 50 additional skins. There are 13 missions to play through, organized in two campaigns, with the dreaded Juicy Joe waiting for you at the end of the first campaign. For those of you that like a challenge, you can test your skills in Challenging or Hard difficulty, or just pick…

We've been very busy since the Beta and I can finally talk about what we've been up to and what we learned from it. Let's start with lessons learned, in no particular order. The game was very hard for some of you and very easy for others. That's why we have difficulty levels but we will definitely have to make the difficulty selection more visible and introduce it when you start the game. Pacing is annoying, even for those of you who didn't have a problem with difficulty. Spawning enemies all the time apparently isn't fun! It was great to see all sorts of people playing. We had all kinds of players from all over the globe, from the US and Germany to China and Romania, from parents playing with their kids and friends playing together to solo warriors. Thi…
- Closed Beta is over. Thank you for the feedback! - 17 March 2019
All good things come to an end and so did our first Closed Beta. It was off to a rocky start with some connectivity issues that we (mostly) fixed in the subsequent patch but I'd still like to take this opportunity and thank you for sticking with us while we fixed the problems. On our end, it was great to get all the feedback on Discord and we particularly enjoyed seeing streams where people were having fun and laughing at all the bugs. The physics bugs were so popular we're almost thinking of turning them into features! That said, we learned a whole lot from the Beta, and it will definitely help us make a better game. There will be a blog article next week about what we learned and how we're going to adapt. In the meantime, from all of us at Team Rikodu, THANK YOU!

Thanks to all of you who joined us on Discord and sent your feedback. We really appreciate it! And if you're not there, what are you waiting for? https://discord.gg/5cfetHm We have unfortunately had a lot of reports of people unable to connect to each other in online games. The team has been working really hard since the start of the Beta to fix those issues and we released a patch late last night that addressed most of them. There were a number of other fixes (full patch notes below) but these fixes and a significant bump in performance are the most important changes. So if you weren't able to play with your friends, please give it another go now. IMPORTANT! Please note that this up…
