FaceRobots is a 1-4 player online co-op game with ragdoll physics. Players control small robots whose screen displays their live webcam or a custom image. The team searches a city, smashes trash cans and suitcases to collect loot, sells it to fill a shared fund, and spends it on weapons, upgrades and access to new areas guarded by bosses. Between missions, players can visit a casino, a bar, and take part in karting, basketball and other activities. The game features proximity voice chat, emotes and cosmetic customization.
The players are small robots working for a company that does not pay them enough. To keep the business running, they are sent into the city to search trash cans, suitcases and hotel rooms for valuable items, which they sell to fill the team's shared fund. As they unlock new areas, they must face the strange bosses that rule each part of the city, from a living dumpster in the streets to a giant poop king in the flooded sewers.
