MicroVolts is a exceptional lobby-based 3D Cartoony third person MMO shooter which is published by RockHippo Productions. The graphics of this game were undoubtedly inspired by Valve's Team Fortress 2, as MicroVolts offers the similar sleek cartoony appearance that Team Fortress 2 made popular. The fact that MicroVolts a third person shooter rather than first person one, instantly makes the game a bit original, as there are countless free to play MMOFPS games but only a handful of third person shooter. Rockhippo Productions has the license to publish MicroVolts in both Europe and North America, so players in both regions can enjoy the game without worrying about IP blocks.

MicroVolts promote itself as a free to play online toy shooter game. The game's starting cut-scene shows some crazy scientist bringing toys to life by some kind of experiment. In fact when toys are brought to life, the first thing they try to do is killing each other. The game's story isn't very important, but it certainly helps to set the game's mood.

MicroVolts comes with numerous playable characters. Players start playing their career in MicroVolts with access to two preliminary characters which are Naomi and Knox; Naomi is a cheerful anime doll and Knox is a hip-hop action character. Players can purchase additional characters using MicroPoints, which is the in-game currency in MicroVolts. The game offers great level designs. Not only that players are allowed to customize each individual character individually with clothing and weapons available in the game's item store.
