What it is

Wireborn is an auto-battler about capturing and evolving rogue robots. Retired industrial machines gained sentience and rebelled — and you're the one who will hack them and recruit them.

How to play

  • Roam the map while your team attacks automatically
  • Capture creatures in the Lightning Hack minigame — capture is skill, not luck
  • Evolve (T1 → T2 → T3) and fuse creatures in the Command Menu
  • Build synergies across 6 elemental cores (electric, thermal, cryogenic, corrosive, kinetic, and more)
  • Survive 3 bosses with multiple phases — each run lasts ~10 minutes

Two-layer progression

  • Scrap: in-run resources to evolve and buy during the match
  • Firmware Fragments: permanent progression between runs (skill tree)

Why play

  • 161 creatures in the Wiredex (so far) with 3 evolution tiers
  • Automatic combat with decisions in team building, not micromanagement
  • No microtransactions — no pay-to-win, no ads
