    • “Bot Wars is a game with a lot of potential, but actual gameplay falls short of expectations.”

Many users express a desire for better FPS optimization to enhance their experience, especially during larger battles.

  • replayability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players expressing frustration over a lack of challenge and variety, particularly due to limited faction differences and repetitive gameplay. Others see potential for infinite replayability as the game is actively being developed, with hopes for future updates to enhance diversity and difficulty. Overall, while some find it fun in its current state, many feel it needs significant improvements to truly elevate its replay value.

    • “It has an infinite amount of replayability, constantly being worked on, improved, and all of the factions have backstories; if they don't, they will soon.”
    • “Even though it is a game in early development, it is still a lot of fun and has great replayability.”
    • “- Repetitive but in a good way (high replayability).”
    • “I want to say at first it isn't a bad game, but it didn't deliver on the promises they made. It's been quite a while; they said they would get regular, even up to weekly updates at the start to give all factions unique troops or weapons (or at least some kind of variation), but they haven't delivered yet. This game, in its current state, is a lot of fun, but lacks replayability. There are a couple of different factions, but only three are different, and it's just not that much fun to keep playing the same units and the same map. It's just missing something, and it could have been an amazing game. I really hope they update it and make it the amazing game they envisioned. Until then, or at least until there's more info about that, I can't recommend buying it.”
    • “This game has a ton of potential, and I'm excited for its future. My only complaints right now are that sometimes you can't destroy bases or towers and have to wait for your AI teammates to do the job for you. It is too easy; if they could add harder difficulty settings to the AI, that would add a ton of replayability to this game, as I win every time and would like to have more of a challenge.”
    • “This game lacks replayability. There are a couple of different factions, but only three are different, and it's just not that much fun to keep playing the same units and the same map.”
