Freaking Meatbags is a comic strategy game where you play as robots sent to mine planets before their solar system blows up. To gather resources, you put captured humans, the meatbags of the title, to work, breeding them to combine traits that make them better at certain jobs. At night, hostile robots attack, so you also have to build turrets and defenses to keep your base standing.
The game mixes real-time base management with tower defense, and each level is a race against the clock. It is single-player only, with a comic tone and simple visuals. It suits players who enjoy light strategy with some juggling of tasks and do not want a long, complex campaign.
