Ninja robots?! Yes, please. Few nouns strung together incite as much excitement as “ninja robots,” which is what you play as in the multiplayer game that launches today on Steam known as Plain Sight.

The goal is the suck up as much energy as possible from other teammates with a deathly strike from your katana, and then blowing yourself up to convert said energy into points. Check out the launch trailer below that previews some of the gameplay modes like Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag.

LONDON, ENGLAND – April 5th 2010 – Beatnik Games, an independent game development studio, are proud to announce that its debut game, Plain Sight, is available now on Steam and other digital download platforms priced at $9.99.

As you get more energy, you change color and get bigger, stronger and brighter, but to convert your hard earned energy into game-winning points, you must do the unthinkable: blow yourself up! The more opponents you take out in the explosion, the higher the multiplier, the higher your score! Upgrade your ninja robot, respawn and do it all over again!
