    118 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the customization and fast-paced arena mechanics, while others criticize it for being repetitive, buggy, and lacking polish. Many users noted issues with controls, graphics, and overall smoothness, leading to frustration, especially in multiplayer settings. Despite its potential, the game's abandonment by developers and the presence of numerous bugs have left many players disappointed.

    • “Whether that's delivering and planting a bomb whilst stopping your enemy from doing so, or just good old-fashioned 'last one standing wins', guns and robots gameplay is very simple to get used to.”
    • “The game is so unique and the graphics may not look too nice but the gameplay is so addicting!”
    • “Gameplay never gets old, uber customization, and freaking robots.”
    • “Would not recommend, repetitive and not enjoyable gameplay.”
    • “The actual gameplay is just generic, and all around, nothing new or exciting.”
    • “Now I'm stuck with a bug that minimizes my gameplay time; I somehow manage to not be able to exit the game and or do anything. I click exit game and it doesn't work, and same with editing. I can't edit or remove parts; it's getting annoying when I have to shut down my computer and have to re-edit or re-buy with my currency which is gone. It's getting lots of bugs and I found it losing interest and I've only played it for 14 days.”
  • graphics
    92 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cartoonish art style reminiscent of Borderlands, while others criticize the overall quality, describing them as cheap or outdated.

Overall, the graphics are seen as a blend of fun and frustration, with potential for improvement.

    • “It is too difficult and the graphics are horrible.”
    • “This wasn't that good; maybe if they update it more, the graphics are painful after an hour of playing.”
    • “Horrible, not what I expected. The graphics look too cartoonish, gun sound effects are missing, only effects are environment sounds and that's all.”
  • story
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features a mix of sandbox missions and two longer quest chains that include character interactions and meaningful choices, enhancing the narrative experience. However, some players find the process of unlocking story missions through random space port visits frustrating. Overall, while the main storyline offers depth, it is only a part of the broader gameplay, with more content expected in the future.

    • “There are currently two longer quest chains that have characters and actual choices, and there is a major branch in the free worlds storyline too.”
    • “The story missions are still kinda structured the same, but having actual interaction with characters makes it feel less samey as the random missions you get otherwise.”
    • “There's a lot of space for personal challenges, like 'I want to have every node on the map unlocked' or 'I want to amass a billion credits any way I can', but completing the free worlds story is really only part of the game and there's always more storylines to come someday.”
    • “This story just ends sad.”
    • “One minor gripe is that some story missions are unlocked by visiting random space ports on planets and hoping you trigger something to advance.”
    • “I mentioned the thing with the random nature of starting story missions and that kind of sucks.”
  • humor
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many reviews highlight the game's funny scenarios, like playing pirate against actual pirates, and the overall lighthearted tone, although some users express a desire for more updates to enhance the humor further. While the game has its flaws, the comedic aspects contribute positively to the overall experience.

    • “The incredible battle mechanics combined with funny looking robots adds a whole new perspective to the genre.”

  • grinding
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious and frustrating, often feeling that it detracts from the overall enjoyment. Many reviews highlight the lack of meaningful progression, with some players resorting to spending money to advance, leading to a perception of pay-to-win mechanics. The menu navigation is also criticized for being cluttered, further complicating the grinding experience.

    • “This isn't fun or interesting; this is just grinding for the sake of grinding.”
    • “4/10: The game looks good and plays well, but crafting to build a robot and the overcluttered menu make the game too grindy.”
    • “Seems overly grindy - for example, I've got 1 daily task to do: need to do 15k damage in total, have 20 hours to do it... to do this, you're going to have to put in at least 8 hours.”
  • monetization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to ineffective in-game purchases and a reliance on microtransactions that hinder gameplay. Users express frustration over the unfairness of in-app purchases, which seem designed to exploit players rather than enhance their experience, leading to a perception that the game is unplayable without spending money.

    • “The in-app purchases are both fair and unfair, more unfair than anything else.”
    • “Most importantly right now: in-game purchases of boosts (credits for example) do not work.”
    • “Suddenly the game was unplayable because of the microtransactions.”
    • “It's a cash grab through and through.”
    • “Having the timesink alone is more than enough to slow down upgrading; adding in the extra element of components just comes across as a very cynical cash grab attempt.”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is frequently criticized for being buggy and glitchy, with players reporting issues such as minor graphical glitches and frequent crashes every 30 minutes. While the overall concept and customizability are praised, the instability often hampers gameplay, requiring restarts to resolve unresponsive elements.

    • “So the game's concept is amazing and the customizability is spectacular, but the game is also incredibly buggy and glitchy when running, if not just closing every 30 minutes.”
    • “It often glitches out and causes you to be completely unable to click on anything, and the only way to fix it is to restart your game.”
    • “Glitches here and there.”
