Fun and fast-paced gameplay with intense PvP battles, very enjoyable especially with friends.
Extensive customization options for building unique mechs with various movement types and weapons.
Low system requirements and free-to-play model without pay-to-win mechanics.

Game suffers from serious balance issues, particularly with overpowered mini-bots and unbalanced weapon factions.
Rampant hacking, cheating, and exploit problems that degrade the multiplayer experience due to poor anti-cheat enforcement.
Lack of updates, limited maps, small playerbase, and occasional bugs/glitches diminish long-term engagement.

Gameplay is praised for its fun, customizable mechanics allowing various vehicle types and playstyles, making it accessible and engaging despite lacking high-end graphics. However, issues like control difficulties, balancing problems, occasional glitches, and the presence of cheaters diminish the experience for some players, indicating the game needs refinement and polish. Overall, the core gameplay is solid and enjoyable but requires improvements for smoother, more immersive play.
- “It may not have flashy graphics or UE5, but what it does have is great (and free) gameplay and is just super fun.”
- “This game is criminally underrated. Not only is it free, it doesn’t require a powerful computer to run, and you can fight on land and in the air. The gameplay is decent and you can customize your vehicles with tons of weapons and defenses.”
- “In all seriousness though, it actually is really fun to play and can even be compared gameplay-wise to a movement shooter where the class you pick is determined by how you build your bot.”
- “Despite what the developers claim, 'Assault Bots' suffers from a myriad of issues that ruin the gameplay experience, and it doesn't help that the game feels like a shameless ripoff of Minecraft, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and even Akinator.”
- “The lack of thought put into making the controls user-friendly is evident, making the gameplay experience unnecessarily frustrating.”
- “This frustrating mechanic breaks the flow of the game and discourages long play sessions, which is incredibly disappointing for anyone looking to immerse themselves in extended battles.”

The game's monetization is heavily criticized for its aggressive microtransactions, likened to exploitative mobile-style cash grabs despite being a PC title. Players also note unfair matchmaking influenced by paid advantages, creating a frustrating and restrictive experience without ads but overshadowed by costly in-app purchases.
- “And no ads, which is hella based”
- “The developers have turned what should be an engaging, skill-based game into a cash grab, similar to how some Minecraft clones bombard you with in-app purchases.”
- “It's baffling why a game would adopt such a restrictive system, clearly mimicking some of the worst monetization practices seen in mobile games, even though it’s marketed as a PC title.”
- “The comparison to Minecraft and its monetization system with Robux and Minecoins only highlights how "Assault Bots" is designed to exploit players financially.”

The game involves a significant amount of grinding, which some players find tedious and like busywork, but others enjoy due to the variety of weapon types and build customization it enables. Overall, grinding is a necessary but mixed aspect of the gameplay experience.

The story is widely seen as uninspired and repetitive, with monotonous quests and missions that lack the creativity and depth typical of Zelda games. Overall, the single-player campaign fails to engage due to its lack of variety and originality.

- “The missions quickly become monotonous, with little variety in objectives or enemies.”
