The story of Robot Squad Sim 2017 revolves around a bomb disposal technician tasked with disarming explosives, but it quickly becomes convoluted with increasingly difficult missions and unrealistic elements. Players noted a decline in mission quality midway through, suggesting rushed development, while the narrative itself is simplistic and lacks depth. Despite these issues, the game offers a variety of missions and robot controls, making for an enjoyable, albeit brief, experience.
“The story revolves around a character who was seen carrying a bomb, hiding it in the park, and then escaping into the neighborhood.”
“Surprisingly enjoyable and not too hard, control 4 different robots with various skills to tackle 22 dangerous missions and save the day.”
“Huge maps, various missions, and an innovative concept.”
“Unfortunately after a handful of these sane missions, you start hitting both timed segments of impossible difficulty as well as new bots which have no bearing on reality.”
“Roughly halfway through the included missions is when you'll notice an obvious drop in quality - either they wanted to pad it out or the publisher was on them to finish up sooner and it really shows.”
“The story was some guy was seen carrying a bomb and he hid it in the park and escaped into the neighborhood.”
