In all of my years spent playing the countless rounds of Mario Golf and the odd Tiger Woods game, never did I think, this would have been better with massive robots.
"100ft Robot Golf" is an arcade-style golf game where players control massive robots to smash and golf their way through various environments. The game features real-time and turn-based multiplayer for up to four players, as well as a solo campaign mode with cheesy '90s-inspired mecha animation. Destroy buildings and challenge friends in this unconventional golf experience.
The game features a charming and unique concept of giant robots playing golf, which is visually appealing and entertaining.
The McElroy brothers' commentary adds a humorous touch, making the game enjoyable, especially in multiplayer settings.
It's a fun party game that can lead to chaotic and hilarious moments when played with friends.
The gameplay is shallow and lacks depth, often feeling more like a race to the hole rather than a traditional golf experience.
The voice acting and dialogue are often criticized for being dull and unfunny, detracting from the overall experience.
Multiplayer functionality is severely lacking, with many players reporting that online matches do not work at all.

The gameplay of "100ft Robot Golf" is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying its quirky mechanics and humor, while others find it slow, shallow, and frustrating. The game features unique robot abilities and destructible environments, but many reviewers feel that the core golfing mechanics lack depth and meaningful interaction, reducing the experience to a repetitive and chaotic race to the hole. Overall, while it offers fun moments and community support, the gameplay is often overshadowed by its execution and reliance on gimmicks.
“It actually has fun core mechanics, and it has the benefit of Steam Workshop support and a very active community, so you never run out of courses.”
“Gameplay is solid, with a variety of different golfing mechanics, as well as character-unique eccentricities that give a lot of diversity to the game.”
“The gameplay is fun, as silly as the name would imply, and it's good for a bit of fun.”
“Everything from the gameplay to the menu is atrocious, and I'm sorry but 'first to the hole' race style golf is garbage - half the appeal of golf in game or reality is taking time to analyze your situation and work against the elements...in this game it's just 'hurr smash ball lots make go quick hole'.”
“Worse, the actual gameplay is shallow and frustrating.”
“This is awful because the game's destruction and mayhem are thematic only; your weapon(s) are more or less useless for helping you get the ball in, everyone is invincible and can't interact with each other in any meaningful way, there are not any sort of physics or mechanics for fighting each other or delaying your opponent, and taking the time to line up the shot or learn how to use each robot's unique wind-up mechanic is counterproductive; just hit the ball faster instead, repeatedly, ignoring the other players and any game aspects other than the 'fly' button and the 'A' button entirely.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the funny commentary and quirky character designs, particularly praising the McElroy brothers' contributions. However, others find the humor inconsistent, with some jokes falling flat and the overall comedic experience not enough to compensate for the game's mediocre gameplay. While there are moments of genuine hilarity, particularly in the campaign and character interactions, the humor often feels overshadowed by gameplay shortcomings.
“It's always a humorous endeavor when we are all racing each other to beat the course and we do what we can to throw each other off their game.”
“Funny jokes, funny movement, funny characters... they have it all!”
“The campaign is short but hilariously written and well worth playing through for the laughs.”
“It's not funny and it's not fun to play, and it just bums me out because this should have been a slam dunk.”

The story is characterized as a goofy and absurd narrative, reminiscent of 90s anime, featuring quirky characters like dogs piloting robots in a golf-themed adventure. While some players find the humor and charm enjoyable, others criticize the voice acting and predictability of the plot, noting that it lacks depth and is not the primary draw of the game. Overall, the single-player campaign offers a lighthearted experience, but the multiplayer aspect is where the game truly shines.
“The single player story is cute and is as absurd as a game of Voltron/Power Rangers robots playing golf.”
“It's fun to sit down and screw around with to blow off steam, and the story is amazing!”
“Campaign: good vs evil storyline with some twists and turns all about golf.”
“How you do in the matches has no bearing on the story, either, and you're constantly forced to change character.”
“Voice acting and quality of recording in story mode is poor and laughable.”
“The plot is also heavily generic: a dumbwitted TV show host is tricked into helping a bad lady do another bad thing like that time they blew up the moon, and it's pretty predictable.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the charming 2D artwork and unique character designs that evoke a nostalgic 90s anime aesthetic. However, some players note that the overall graphical quality is inconsistent, featuring plain visuals and glitches, while cutscenes suffer from poor execution and voice acting. Despite these shortcomings, the vibrant art style and creative designs contribute positively to the game's appeal.
“It really nails the head on that 90's anime aesthetic for its characters, even with things like 5 corgis who pilot a giant sentai themed robot or even just a massive skeleton named Jeffery.”
“The art style is a cool recapturing of the 80s anime/cartoon style, and the characters are varied and interesting.”
“Also, it's an excellent party game with a bunch of different cool robots with excellent designs, fantabulous anime graphics, and control styles that are interesting and nuanced!”
“This game is so bad and broken and cringe; the only saving grace is the glorious 2D artwork and robot designs. On top of that, the online straight up doesn't work.”
“Graphics are a bit plain, but they do have some interesting skins and designs for characters.”

“100ft Robot Golf is a game with awesome, expensive production values on some things such as the art, music, and narration, which is ultimately hurt by having some of the most boring and basic voice work I've heard in a while, on top of chaotic gameplay where you can stop other players' balls with your own body, but you are both too slow and too floaty to do anything accurately.”
“The music reflects the calm and serenity of a casual game of golf, which also heightens the silliness.”

Reviewers suggest that the game's replayability is currently hindered by existing bugs, but believe that once these issues are resolved, it could become a highly enjoyable party game with more replay value than similar titles.
