About
"Mechanibot" is a tactical rogue-lite auto battler where you play as a small robot on a mission to repair the dying sun. Instead of being fully automated, the game requires active participation during combat, allowing players to strategically build and upgrade their team of robots with unique abilities and classes. The goal is to battle through the solar system, growing stronger and unlocking powerful combos, in order to reignite the sun.

- It features a charming art style and enjoyable characters, along with a variety of strategies and combinations that keep gameplay fresh and rewarding.
- The game is well-polished, with a fair price point, making it an excellent value for the amount of content and fun it provides.
- The controls can feel awkward, especially when using a mouse and keyboard, leading to some frustration during gameplay.
- There is a lack of enemy variety and level randomization, which can make runs feel repetitive over time.
