About this game
VD2: Maidbot Archive is a cross-platform Mecha-Moe bullet hell Souls-like with exploration, sandbox freedom, and intense boss hunting — all wrapped in an anime-inspired, community-driven package.
Experience the feel of a classic twin-stick shooter: move with WASD, aim with your mouse, or jump right in with full gamepad support.
You are a newly assigned officer of Hexcorp, a crime control organization caught in the middle of a machine invasion led by the Biokernel, a powerful AI that assimilates everything it touches.
You join forces with Arris Fern, an ex-terrorist who took revenge on her father 8 years ago, and the responsible for the Biokernel activation, and Hex Reader, an ex mafia boss, both trying to make amends for their past in the middle of a war that is only a small piece of a darker phenomenon, the Vitakrosis effect, where the spirit of revenge threatens to claim the lives of the entire world.
In all of this darkness, a positive force rises to the challenge and helps you bring joy and hope to the world, the Maidbots.
