Bots & Mods

I love the bones of this game. Building robots is fun in concept, but in practice, the minigames so far all boil down to "press the button to do the thing" and I found it became repetitive quickly. Crafting, in particular, became grating after 4 part builds were introduced, which led to a minimum of 6 plays of the exact same minigame for a single robot part. That ends up being 30 just to build a single robot from scratch (although a few of those crafts could be combined, so we'll say 20), in addition to 5 blueprint minigames. and that's AFTER the smelting minigames. So, you end up running in a circle playing the same 3 minigames. Maybe that load lessens as you get robots and automation, but getting there is as draining to me as it is depressing to my character (and I can't use pizza to cure my depression). I would suggest minigame alternatives, but it's a poor customer that tells the chef how to cook. The UI is very unclear, I didn't realize upgrade tokens were the currency until an hour in. A help section would help a lot. I find myself looking at +1 Strength and -1 Speed, and I have no idea what that even means. Once the shop start breaking down and the puddles start appearing,…

This is one of those games where I really wanted a 'Neutral' option instead of Yes or No. The game is semi decent. It's fun. You are the owner of a droid repairshop. You mine resources, repair droids through different stages (blueprints->frames->final product) and help out the people in town. [h3] The good: [/h3] - Nice pixelart graphics - Decent but monotone music (it's in the good category because it's not annoying) - Fun gameplay (at least most of it) - Decent though short story [h3] The bad: [/h3] - Really short: I finished the game in 4 hours and I was not rushing things - Minigame: All crafting interaction requires you to play a minigame. The minigames are not bad in itself but they do get tedious after a while - You build and repair droid parts, but there is no way to create droids of your own to automate your shop (which wasn't needed eventually since the game is so short) - You don't really run a shop in the traditional gameplay sense. You do quests for 'customers' untill the story is done. [h3] The ugly: [/h3] - Green pile of spillage on the floor that is tedious to clean (Tip, buy a couple of bins early on) [h3] Conclusion [/h3] This game has l…

The central hook of making and upgrading bots is actually not a thing in this game. It's an upsettingly bland story, and I finished the ending with real blue-balls. I wanted 20 hours of buying and selling Transformers and Medabots, but all I got was 4 hours (plus 1 in my game time because I had to ♥♥♥♥), of literal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fetch quests and Potion Permit boring levels of minigames to begin a machine... ...which then works via a timer bar. As if I hadn't already completed the minigame, and I just wanted the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reward for sitting through such unimaginative slop. Without beig salty; I felt like most of this game were teasers of possible mechanics from an alpha version, maybe a vertical slice that the dev probably wanted to sell the rights to a studio. It's very clear that the dev was far more interested in pushing this ♥♥♥♥-ass narrative, instead of actually polishing the core mechanics and making the game fun. But who knows. This game will still kill an afternoon, and you'll only get pissed off with the game AFTER you've played it. Not necessarily during. Kinda like banging an ugly chick.

Love this game. Its addicting. I love just listening to music while i play, or just watch something and need something to do

Fun game. You get to make parts and fix robots. I like prepping as much as possible so I always have a bar going and extra storage. There's a learning curve but just explore and it's fine. I made mistakes the first time so I started over.

Great game! The cyberpunk ambient and vibes along with the music is really good. The game progression and how you get introduced into new machines and components is well done and the amount of content is great. In addition, the game has an interesting story spanning three acts. Totally recommended if you love crafting games and cyberpunk style.
