  • Visually stunning graphics and a great soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience.
  • Offers a variety of challenging levels and unique enemy mechanics that keep players engaged.
  • Co-op mode adds fun and allows for shared experiences, making it enjoyable with friends.
  • Gameplay mechanics are flawed, particularly the auto-aim feature that can lead to frustrating moments during combat.
  • Technical issues, such as crashes and lack of resolution options, detract from the overall experience on PC.
  • The game suffers from poor balance in enemy design and mission structure, making later levels feel unfair and tedious.
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally seen as a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the journey from an underdog to a hero, others feel the narrative is ultimately inconsequential. The inclusion of escort missions, particularly in later levels, is widely criticized for detracting from the overall experience, with frustrating mechanics and poor controls making gameplay challenging. Overall, the story adds some depth, but its execution and the mission structure leave much to be desired.

    • “I liked the story presented in the game because it was a journey where you start as nobody and end up as a hero.”
    • “The story in this game does not really matter, which is a shame, but it is better than without one at all.”
    • “Level 7 is bad as you have to protect 3 buildings on 3 different planets, but the worst of the escort missions is level 10 where you have to escort an NPC that is moving slowly and does not defend itself. It is targeted by all enemies, and since you can’t pick where you shoot, you have to get hit instead of it from one side while you shoot the other side.”
    • “This could be a good game, but bad shooting controls, escort missions, and strange developer decisions make it almost unplayable at later levels.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise for its outstanding quality and ability to enhance the overall experience, with many reviewers noting its upbeat and driving nature. While some tracks may not reach the heights of earlier levels, the soundtrack is generally considered solid and well-integrated into the gameplay. Overall, the sound design complements the game's visuals and interplanetary setting effectively.

    • “The music in Robonauts is banging and really helps tie everything together.”
    • “I think the music and sound design in this game are solid and the soundtracks are good.”
    • “The music is absolutely outstanding and driving, though no tracks ever really reach the heights of the ones on the first two levels, but it's still all good stuff.”
    • “Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error which causes the game to crash; get this game on Nintendo Switch instead. Overall, the OST of this game is fire, but this game's tendency to appeal to the arcade shooter style has failed miserably.”
    • “In any case, I persevered, cranked up the music, and played through the first few levels.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a variety of enemies with unique mechanics and distinct nests, but many players find the mechanics to be fundamentally broken, diminishing enjoyment as difficulty increases. While the gunplay starts off engaging, it lacks depth and evolution, and the co-op mode suffers from reduced screen size. Overall, the gameplay is criticized for its repetitive mission structure and frustrating core mechanics.

    • “There are different enemies with unique mechanics for each one of them, and the nests that spawn them also look unique for each of the enemy types.”
    • “It looks like this game may have just been a testing ground for different ideas and mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay mechanics are completely broken, which removes all the fun factor once the levels start getting serious with enemies.”
    • “Early on, Robonauts is a nice little blaster, but a rote mission structure and a headache-inducing core mechanic let it down.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their beauty and vibrant visuals, particularly in the interplanetary setting, which features distinct enemy designs and an engaging soundtrack. However, users express disappointment over the lack of resolution options and graphics customization. Overall, while the aesthetic appeal is strong, technical flexibility is limited.

    • “Beautiful graphics”
    • “Interplanetary setting with the ability to jump between planets is really cool, great visuals and upbeat soundtrack, variety of enemies with distinct patterns.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “I am sure it will have a better frame rate and graphics too.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its ability to create amusing and dizzying experiences, eliciting laughter from players and viewers alike.

    • “Made my viewers dizzy, which I thought was hilarious!”
    • “The witty dialogue and absurd situations had me laughing out loud!”
    • “The humor is so clever and unexpected; it keeps you on your toes!”
