Game summary
Bad Bots is a retro style platform shooter with intense robot blasting action and sci-fi story.
In Bad Bots you hack and blast your way through an onslaught of truly bad 'bots to find a way to prevent a potentially planet-destroying catastrophe.
Bad Bots stars Sam McRae, a grease mechanic aboard the "Titan Hauler" space cargo ship who wakes from cryogenic hypersleep to discover the ship's robotic crew has been reprogrammed to destroy humans. Even worse, the ship has been rerouted on an explosive collision course with Earth.
You can play either the Challenges Mode to see if you can survive sixty seconds in a room with an endless supply of robots or the story-based Campaign Mode that includes boss battles, puzzles and a compelling story.
First released: May 2013
Play Bad Bots on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Bad Bots on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Bad Bots installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Bad Bots like you would on any PC.
