About Gearbits
Gearbits is a 3D action title where you pilot a giant robot equipped with rocket boosters. The core loop centers on fast‑paced combat against swarms of giant insects and rival pilots while managing heat buildup that can leave you vulnerable on the ground.
The single‑player experience includes a 20‑mission story campaign set on a distant colony world, a roster of ten distinct robots, over thirty weapons, and a wave‑survival mode that awards credits for defeating escalating enemy hordes.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Campaign
The story campaign consists of twenty missions that place you in the far future on a distant colony world. Each mission presents specific objectives that must be completed while contending with enemy pilots and massive insect swarms.
All missions are single‑player only, providing a narrative framework for using the various robots and weapons you unlock as you progress through the campaign.
- Check each mission’s objective list before selecting a robot.
- Consider trying different robots to see which matches the mission layout.
02 / THE GUIDE
Giant Robots
Gearbits offers ten unique giant robots, each described as having its own strengths and weaknesses. You can select a machine focused on raw firepower or one that excels in maneuverability, allowing varied approaches to encounters.
Robots become available as you progress, giving players a range of playstyles to experiment with across both the story campaign and wave‑survival mode.
- Match a robot’s mobility to the objectives of each mission.
- Use a high‑firepower robot when facing dense insect hordes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Variety
Over thirty unique weapons are available, ranging from missile launchers and rail guns to massive beam cannons. The selection lets you equip a robot with the tools that best suit your combat preferences.
Weapon choice directly influences how you engage both insect swarms and enemy pilots, offering flexibility in building effective load‑outs for any situation.
- Pair a long‑range rail gun with a missile launcher for balanced offense.
- Try a massive beam cannon for heavy damage.
04 / THE GUIDE
Rocket Thrusters Mobility
Each robot is equipped with rocket thrusters that let you fly across the battlefield, delivering fire from the air and enabling rapid repositioning against enemy forces.
Staying grounded for too long makes you an easy target, and excessive thruster use can cause overheating, which limits how long you can remain airborne.
- Use thrusters to stay above insect swarms and avoid ground fire.
- Monitor heat buildup to prevent forced landings.
05 / THE GUIDE
Wave Survival Mode
Wave survival mode pits you against escalating hordes of enemies. Defeating foes grants credits, which can be spent on additional weapons and equipment to improve your chances in later waves.
The mode provides a repeatable challenge that tests both your robot’s capabilities and your weapon choices under increasing pressure.
- Invest early credits in weapons that handle groups efficiently.
- Adjust your robot’s load‑out between waves to handle the escalating hordes.
