MACHINE RUNAWAY is a third-person shooter game where you aim from 200 floors underground to the surface. The protagonist can transform into enemy characters. Make full use of the abilities of various enemy characters to advance the game to your advantage.

The protagonist can only shoot and kick, but can transform into enemy characters. Transforming allows you to use that character's attacks. Collect as many transformable characters as possible from treasure chests or by defeating bosses to gain an edge in battle.

There are no healing items or skills. However, characters not in use gradually recover HP. Survive by strategically switching characters. Be cautious, as a character takes time to repair once destroyed.

The protagonist, having developed 'transformation' technology, is deemed a dangerous robot with a bounty on their head. Hunted by other robots, he aims to escape to the surface from the bottommost level, 200 floors down. Fight off the attacking robots and aim for the surface.
