  • gameplay
    287 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its smooth mechanics, engaging combat, and customization options for mechs. However, concerns about pay-to-win elements, repetitive gameplay, and a lack of variety in maps and game modes have been frequently mentioned, leading to frustration among some users. Overall, while the core gameplay is considered fun and intuitive, the balance between enjoyment and monetization issues remains a significant point of contention.

    • “Actually has fun gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is fun, and really intuitive.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and doesn't feel unbalanced.”
    • “Just a PC-focused War Robots game; sure, the mechanics are better, but it's the same pay-to-win style slop. It's a live service with new robots coming out, but you can't even obtain the most important parts for free. 3.5/10, not worth anyone's time.”
    • “Gameplay got stale quickly, which was a shame.”
    • “The gameplay loop is extremely repetitive, and the map design is annoying.”
  • graphics
    187 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising their stunning quality, detailed environments, and impressive animations. Players appreciate the modern visual upgrades compared to previous iterations, noting that the graphics enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, some users have reported performance issues and a desire for more customizable graphics settings to accommodate lower-end hardware.

    • “The graphics are amazing, the robots look awesome, the explosions are satisfying, and the maps have a nice futuristic vibe.”
    • “The graphics are stunning and the physics is so incredibly accurate that it is nearly indistinguishable from real life, excluding some very minor discrepancies.”
    • “Absolutely beautiful game with great graphics and amazing gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are outdated, and the controls are clunky.”
    • “Visuals are generic, and performance issues plague gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are unremarkable, if not average—are game graphics getting worse?”
  • monetization
    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization in this game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players labeling it as aggressive, predatory, and reminiscent of mobile cash grabs. While some users note that progress can be made without spending money, the general consensus is that the system heavily favors pay-to-win mechanics, making it difficult for free-to-play users to compete effectively. Despite the game's enjoyable gameplay and graphics, the monetization practices are seen as a significant drawback that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The game also comes from a mobile game originally and some of those roots can be felt in things like monetization and progression mechanics, although they are clearly moving in a positive direction there from listening to community feedback.”
    • “Increasing battle rewards, increasing free-to-play ability to get new gear faster, focusing on keeping old gear good and avoiding power creep, making cosmetics the focus of future monetization, balance updates; nothing but good has come out of them and their proposed updates to the game.”
    • “Monetization is very unobtrusive, and you have to actively look for purchasable items.”
    • “P2W slop full of aggressive FOMO monetization from shady developers who admit to running astroturfing campaigns across social media.”
    • “The game is still the exact same shameless cash grab that whoever keeps paying the most money has the best stats, best bots, best weapons, and can dominate the field.”
    • “I wanted to like this, I really did, but the monetization is so in your face I just can't do it anymore, locking better parts behind premium currency or waiting for them to show up in the daily free currency shop is so cancerous, not even mentioning the game kneecapping your progress unless you pay for premium.”
  • grinding
    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively time-consuming and often feels unfair, especially for free-to-play players who face significant barriers to progression compared to those who spend money. Many players report that while the game offers a variety of customization options, unlocking them requires a frustrating amount of grinding, leading to a pay-to-win perception. Despite some enjoyment in gameplay, the overall sentiment is that the grind detracts from the experience, making it a major point of contention among users.

    • “Damn, I wish I had grinded all those years in War Robots. The game looks great and feels great to play. In fact, it feels like a completely different game from War Robots. I only had time to grind on my phone because of travel and work. I definitely won't grind for months to upgrade a single robot here, but it looks really good. If it weren't for the excessive grind and the looming pay-to-win aspect, I would definitely play this a lot. For now, I'm going back to single-player games that don't require grinding at all.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding in the game is horrendous. I'm used to spending hours grinding (I'm level 24 or 25 on Warframe, that game is all grind if you never played it) and I just couldn't.”
    • “The game is incredibly grindy and does not respect your time. Most of the unlockable content (weapons, parts, modules) are useless, and after 57 hours I was able to upgrade my mechs only to level 7. The only way you can upgrade your parts is by spending scrap that is bought in the shop, and it's the only reasonable way of getting robot parts that you need, but you will never get what you need because there are only 6 items in the store, and it takes 24 hours to refresh.”
    • “Progression is extremely slow and grindy unless you spend money, which only gets worse, not better, the more you play.”
  • story
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a traditional narrative or campaign mode, with players noting the absence of engaging storylines or character development. While there is some lore present, it is minimal and does not enhance the gameplay experience, leading to a repetitive grind focused on daily missions rather than a compelling story. Overall, players express a desire for more diverse game modes and a richer narrative to improve the overall experience.

    • “The quests are interesting, and I like the newly added item descriptions.”
    • “Titans are another story.”
    • “There's no campaign or story!!”
    • “There's no seasonal story like other PvP games (Dead by Daylight, for example).”
    • “No campaign or story!!”
    • “Story: no story, but there is lore, just not too much.”
  • optimization
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews. While some players report smooth performance even on older hardware, many others experience significant lag, poor menu navigation, and various performance issues, particularly in newer maps. There is a consensus that the game requires further optimization to enhance gameplay and accessibility for low-end PC users.

    • “It's optimized and runs smooth at around 100fps on a six-year-old laptop (low settings).”
    • “Performance is impressive, running smoothly even on older hardware like mine.”
    • “The graphics are gorgeous (and very well-optimized) and the sound effects are superb.”
    • “Disappointing game with constant lags and poor optimization.”
    • “It seems like a good time, but with shader problems (random harsh stuttering on an otherwise 150+ fps experience), I cannot recommend playing it.”
    • “Not polished and not even slightly optimized.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting significant issues such as system freezes, buggy network code, and hit detection problems. While some players appreciate its performance on lower-end PCs and the overall graphics, many express frustration over persistent glitches and lag, suggesting that the game feels unfinished and requires further development to improve stability. Overall, it appears that while the game has potential, its current state is marred by technical issues that detract from the experience.

    • “It runs great even on my low-end PC, but it needs better new player guidance.”
    • “Beautiful looking game runs great on my system, with minimal waiting to get a match started and solid servers.”
    • “The game runs great and its graphics are impressive.”
    • “So far I like the game, but it has stability issues. When in menus, my entire PC freezes and I have to restart it. I don't have the best PC (Ryzen 5800X and an RX6600), but it's still decent enough to play most of the other games without freezing. If the game gets more stable, I'll recommend it once this issue is fixed, but apart from that, it's a good game.”
    • “It's a buggy broken mess that should have seen way more development time before being released, even to early access.”
    • “I've tried enjoying it, but when I'm constantly getting wrecked because either my guns refuse to fire due to lag or glitches, or when I get blown up by an NPC mech that is firing through buildings and terrain, it becomes frustrating. Apparently, structures or the ground don't block their ability to shoot you.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as chaotic and often hilarious, with players finding amusement in the absurdity of situations, such as facing overwhelming odds or experiencing unexpected outcomes during matches. However, the humor is sometimes overshadowed by frustrations with matchmaking and gameplay balance, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience.

    • “I love how people fall for the clone, it's honestly hilarious.”
    • “The combat is chaotic and absolutely hilarious at times.”
    • “Really funny playing with a team because goofy things happen a lot, which I personally love.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its engaging soundtracks, particularly during intense moments, enhancing the overall experience. Users appreciate the quality and express a desire for the soundtrack to be available on platforms like Spotify.

    • “Love how the music works really well in the final moments of battle as well.”
    • “Music, so good.”
    • “Looking at games like Forza, letting people spend time designing and layering decals and colors to good menu music and distribute those designs is something that's been proven to be enjoyed as a reason to spend more time in the game.”
    • “The soundtracks are badass; please release them on Spotify.”
    • “I love how the music works really well in the final moments of battle as well.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability, particularly in multiplayer settings, thanks to its mech customization system. However, players note that the grindy nature of the game can lead to prolonged use of the same mechs and weapons, potentially diminishing the replay experience.

    • “Very replayable, especially with friends.”
    • “The mech customization system is designed to enhance replayability, although the grind can make you stick with the same mech and weapons for a while.”
    • “The mech customization system is meant to make the game more replayable, but the game is grindy, so you're going to be stuck with that same mech and those same guns for a long time.”
    • “After completing the main story, I found little incentive to replay the game. The side missions feel repetitive and don't add much to the experience.”
    • “While there are multiple paths to take, the lack of meaningful choices makes replaying the game feel like a chore rather than an adventure.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express that the emotional impact of the game is significant, prompting strong reactions, though some feel that the experience may not be fully engaging until improvements are made.
