The briefing

About this game

In Cytron, the robot Cytron enters a research facility where robots have gone berserk. Its mission is to safeguard the area and rescue the trapped scientists in this top-down action shooter.

Movement is deliberately skittish, making Cytron difficult to stop instantly and adding challenge to progression through the levels. The droid can also divide into two components, Cyt and Ron, allowing one part to activate distant switches while the other advances through the force-fields they unlock.
