Roto X

Roto X is a free-to-play, text-based MUD by developer Ryan Schoen, set on a post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 2058 after a nuclear holocaust. Players join a clan and pilot a customizable RObotic Tactical Operations eXoskeleton, choosing from eight professions (Miner, Robotics, Weapons, Forging, Hunter, Restoration, Engineering, Programming) to gather resources, craft and trade weapon upgrades and enhancements, and fight to ensure their clan's survival. The game remains online and playable, though with a very small population.

Before you play

Things to consider

  • Active; the game remains online and playable, though with a very small population
  • Sourced from MMORPG.com, MMOGames.com, and the official roto-x.com site; treat details as a research summary rather than a live, first-hand playtest.
  • A very small population means clan warfare and trading may feel quiet compared to larger MMOs.
