  • graphics
    438 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the visuals as "amazing" and "good," especially on higher settings, while others criticize them as outdated or reminiscent of early 2000s titles. Some users note that the graphics are significantly better on PC compared to the mobile version, but there are complaints about performance issues and the game's overall aesthetic feeling like a mobile port. Despite the graphical improvements, many players feel that the game still lacks the polish expected from a modern title, often citing a disconnect between the graphics quality and the gameplay experience.

    • “The graphics are amazing, the mechanics are solid!!”
    • “This game has great graphics for being a non-laggy online shooter.”

    • “Early 2000s are calling and wanting their graphics back.”
    • “The graphics are not good (as to be expected since it is a PC port of a mobile game). I'm not looking for a port that looks as good as something like Asphalt, but they could at least screw around with the textures and other things and make it look better.”
    • “The graphics could be a lot better; they look the exact same as they do on mobile.”
  • gameplay
    393 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "War Robots" is characterized by its engaging mech combat and diverse customization options, which many players find enjoyable. However, it is heavily criticized for its pay-to-win mechanics, unbalanced matchmaking, and the prevalence of cheaters, leading to a frustrating experience for free-to-play users. While the core mechanics and graphics are praised, the overall enjoyment is often diminished by the game's monetization strategies and lack of fairness in competitive play.

    • “Amazing game, very good graphics, gameplay, and customization!”
    • “The gameplay is unique and fun to play; you are piloting a robot equipped with various machine guns, rocket launchers, super sonic weapons, and more.”
    • “War robots is a captivating mobile game that offers thrilling robot battles, stunning visuals, and strategic gameplay.”
    • “After the new update, War Robots always crashes in the middle of the gameplay.”
    • “At the beginning, it looks fun, some robots, some PvP, but after 3-4 hours of gameplay, it gets very pay-to-win and spammy with all kinds of offers.”
    • “The gameplay itself is a monotonous chore, devoid of any genuine skill or strategy.”
  • monetization
    251 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it as a blatant cash grab characterized by aggressive microtransactions and a pay-to-win structure. Users report being bombarded with ads and offers for in-game purchases, which detracts from the overall experience and creates an unbalanced playing field, particularly disadvantaging free-to-play users. While some acknowledge recent efforts to improve the monetization approach, the overwhelming sentiment remains that the game prioritizes profit over player enjoyment.

    • “But recently, Pixonic has been taking steps to fix the monetization, such as giving away several golden, titan, and even an ultimate data pad completely for free.”
    • “The prices on the microtransactions are reasonable, with the offered deals.”
    • “In-game purchases rule the game, but it's possible to have fun without spending money.”
    • “The monetization is out of control.”
    • “Shameless cash grab of a game; I've put a decent amount of money into it and still get absolutely demolished because they make your equipment useless when the newer stuff comes out.”
    • “Honestly, one of the greediest and pay-to-win games out there. Don't play this; the devs suck, and this game is the embodiment of a cash grab.”
  • grinding
    178 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized, with many players feeling that it is excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant financial investment to progress effectively. While some enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay experience, the overwhelming sentiment is that it is heavily skewed towards a pay-to-win model, making it frustrating for free-to-play users who must invest countless hours to achieve comparable results. Overall, players recommend caution, as the grind can feel unbalanced and unrewarding, especially against those who spend money to gain advantages.

    • “Takes a bit to get strong bots, but it's not that grindy.”
    • “Games are fast action packed and the mechs are fairly easy to unlock, not too grindy; you will either love or hate that fact that it feels that way.”
    • “You can't really do much or proceed much without paying for things unless you're grinding heavily or get lucky with events and such.”
    • “The events suck too unless you spend an entire week nonstop playing; you will never complete them. They make it as unfair as possible to make you spend money on power-ups, titans, and the battle pass but still try to give you the illusion that you can still play by grinding.”
    • “The game becomes increasingly tedious if you don't spend money on progressions (you have to pay to progress in a reasonable time period = advanced players will always have progressed with having paid money and their level of play not raised by actual skill).”
  • story
    76 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many players noting the absence of a meaningful narrative or campaign, describing it as "nonexistent" or "thinner than excuses." While some appreciate the gameplay mechanics and graphics, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game prioritizes competitive play and monetization over storytelling, leaving players seeking a narrative experience disappointed. Overall, the lack of a cohesive story detracts from the game's appeal for those looking for depth beyond its mechanics.

    • “In my opinion, as a previously long-term player, this game is one of my favorite games of all time, with fun imagination, shooting, graphics, and story.”
    • “The graphics and design and thought that go into the storyline make the game visually interesting and entertaining.”
    • “It would be cool if there was a story mode.”
    • “Story: none—the game doesn’t focus on storytelling, which may leave players looking for a narrative wanting more.”
    • “Story: 1/10 - there is no story whatsoever, just competitive PvP.”
    • “Casual plot-free instant matches.”
  • stability
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with numerous players reporting frequent lags, freezes, and crashes that significantly disrupt gameplay. Many users express frustration over persistent bugs and glitches, particularly after updates, while some note that the game feels poorly designed and unresponsive. Despite a few positive remarks about stability improvements, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards dissatisfaction, with calls for better developer support and fixes.

    • “Not buggy at all from what I can tell.”
    • “When there are no glitches, visual errors, and you don't get matched with players that are in a league lower than they should be, the game is great.”
    • “Gave this a bad review years ago, but after all the updates this game has had, it runs great and it's a load of fun. Upgrading weapons and researching weapons is a bit slow (one thing at a time daily), but once you get upgraded, the game is daily fun.”
    • “The game freezes in the loading/game launch screen. I looked online to fix the problem and there's nothing. I posted a request and was just told to uninstall and reinstall... nope, I'm just going to uninstall.”
    • “Gameplay is seriously affected by lags and targeting system glitches.”
    • “On top of this, the developers won't fix significant issues with targeting, control glitches, and matchmaking - everything that would help make the game playable.”
  • humor
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often described as both entertaining and absurd, with players finding amusement in the overpowered robots and the chaotic gameplay. Many reviews highlight the game's comedic elements, such as the ridiculousness of pay-to-win mechanics and the absurdity of certain game scenarios, though some express frustration that the humor can be overshadowed by the game's monetization issues. Overall, while the game can be funny and enjoyable, it also elicits mixed feelings due to its balance problems and cash grab tendencies.

    • “This is hilarious.”
    • “Funny robots killing each other.”
    • “It's so pay to win it's kind of funny.”
    • “The other platform has ads where you can get free stuff, but there have gotten to be so many of them it's not funny.”
    • “At those ranks and above, it turns into shock rains and orcans that are so incredibly unbalanced it's not funny.”
    • “It will require me to play for another year just to get my existing bots and equipment up to the level you can now buy them at. Upgrade times and build times are still way too long, unless you buy gold to speed them up, and back to the cash grab... funny... not funny.”
  • music
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the main menu and hangar tracks for their calming qualities, while others find the in-game music repetitive and poorly suited to the action. Many users express frustration over the lack of volume control, as the music can be excessively loud and distracting. Overall, while some appreciate the soundtrack, others criticize it as low quality and annoying, contributing to a generally unpolished experience.

    • “The main menu music is very nice and quite relaxing to listen to for hours, even without playing matches.”
    • “It's a game with intense music on the title screen but calming music when you fight. I don't know why, but it's a good stress reliever if you need to blow some things up and capture beacons.”
    • “Sound/music: the hangar music threw me into a zen state, relieving me of prior stresses at the previous game.”
    • “The music they have is just bad, and no, not when you start the game in the hangar, but when you're in a match itself.”
    • “The main menu music was way too loud; why is there no audio slider like every other game in existence?”
    • “Sound and music only have an on-off toggle, no volume sliders.”
  • optimization
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players reporting poor performance, especially on PC, and a lack of support for various input methods. While some users note that the game runs well on low-performance machines, frequent performance hiccups and a frustrating user interface detract from the experience. Additionally, the game's monetization strategies exacerbate the optimization issues, making it difficult for free-to-play users to compete effectively.

    • “Optimized well, so it runs on almost any machine.”
    • “Excellent optimized graphics.”
    • “Runs smoothly and the graphics are a bit better than on the mobile version.”
    • “Poor performance optimization.”
    • “Very poor game performance in my region.”
    • “Extremely limited optimization.”
  • replayability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it highly addictive and enjoyable with significant replay value, others criticize the matchmaking system and pay-to-win elements, particularly affecting free-to-play users. Additionally, the lack of mobile account linking detracts from the experience for some, but many still appreciate the depth and customization options that can lead to hundreds of hours of gameplay.

    • “A well-rounded game with lots of replay value.”
    • “Addictive - fun - a lot of replay value to play over and over again = great game!”
    • “Game is really fun, replay value is high.”
    • “It's fun and has some replay value, but the matchmaking system is horrible. You will play against people 10 times your level, and it's a pay-to-win game, so it's all about the highest bidder.”
    • “I'm stopping playing this game; it's just so bad for free-to-play players. There are plenty of multiplayer games that are more enjoyable and not like this one.”
    • “No mobile account linking - it would be a lot more playable if it was properly linked to mobile, instead of feeling like a half-hearted port that was slapped together.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express strong emotional responses to the game, with some feeling frustration and anger due to perceived unfair matchmaking and the pressure to spend money for competitive advantage. Conversely, others find the game evokes nostalgia and a sense of childhood joy, highlighting a complex emotional experience that intertwines both positive and negative feelings. Overall, the emotional impact of the game is significant, leading to both addiction and dissatisfaction among players.

    • “This game made me feel like a kid again.”
    • “Sorry for this review being so emotional.”
    • “In a circle of reward and disapproval, who they control his period, when you want to be competitive and emotionally alive in this game, you must 'feed it' with purchases increasing and proportional to the level you are.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is noted for its engaging work environment, but it is marred by a pay-to-win dynamic that detracts from the overall experience, leading to frustration among players. Many feel that the focus on monetization has overshadowed the enjoyment of gameplay.

    • “The new robots and weapons, along with the pay-to-win atmosphere, have ruined the game.”
    • “The overall atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “Despite the potential, the atmosphere lacks depth and fails to immerse players in the experience.”
