Inner City Kids is an upcoming Vita strategy game about street kids battling robots

Most strategy games aren't very hip. They're usually about old timey wars and goblins.

On the other hand, Inner City Kids is a turn-based strategy game inspired by urban street culture and has you battling robots.

It's comparable to 2011 sci-fi film Attack the Block in themes and style, then. Whereas other strategy games are closer to Tony Robinson's Time Team.

The plot follows a group of kids who discover that the city's adults have been kidnapped and replaced by robots. The youthful troupe see no other choice but to battle the robots and restore order.

As the kids don't have weapons, they turn the robots technologies against them. This leads to a unique modular weapons system that allows you to build your own guns and swords.

With your loadouts prepared, you'll have to develop your own strategies as you move into the robots' underground facilities to take them out.

Sounds pretty cool, right? Inner City Kids had been in development for PC only. But, today, developer Jamo Games revealed that it would be coming to Vita as well.

No release date was given but that shouldn't hinder your celebrations. Just make sure to keep an eye out for strange behaviour in any adults you see.
