About Robowars
In the near future, mankind has opened the way to the stars – made possible through the use of droids, able to operate in the hostile environment of the deep space. However, both spaceships and droids are dependent on ‘Neonium’ for their power. However, this new source of energy was only found in the moons of Pluto and deposits are very limited, so the search started for a new supply.
Scouts ships discovered that a distant planet known as Praymos has rich deposits of Neonium. The only trouble is Praymos is not only inhabited but has a technological civilization similar to that of Earth of the second half of 20th century. The result was a battle not just for control of the resource, but the entire planet.
RoboWars is easy to play yet difficult to master. Each level has its own unique set of tactics – master the tactics and push on to victory! Select your cards wisely – deploy them even more carefully. Build your defenses to prevent the capture of your flags by the enemy. Place your units or set your traps; earn the right special abilities. In between attacks, construct new defenses. Manage your supplies of Neonium well – the more you have, the more special abilities cards will be available. The cards allow you to build battlefield towers, units and traps or to activate abilities. Build Neonium production plants for even more special ability cards. Destroyed enemy units will sometimes drop money, which can be used to buy units, traps, and attack cards.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Robowars' creative sci-fi robot theme and commend the developer for reclaiming the game and fixing bugs, but the core gameplay receives mixed feedback—some find it engaging and strategic while others consider it a derivative Plants vs Zombies clone with tedious grinding, poor animations, and progression-blocking scripting issues. The monetization model where units must be purchased and diminish upon death is a particular point of frustration for a single-player tower defense game.
[i]Robowars[/i] is a nice game. I like the artstyle.

[h1] Plants vs Zombies but with robots. Place troops, activate lasers and fend off enemies. Protect flags on each row, when all of them are gone it's game over. Boring to play. Safely skip. [/h1]6 found this helpful
Robowars is basically bootleg version of PvZ (Plants vs Zombies) with robot/sci-fi theme. Visual is below average with poor animation. Audio/sound effect is just average. Story/lore is generic with weak writing/execution. The gameplay has twist where there are many diverse unit, although you only can bring up to 5 different unit type on each mission. But the bad part is many strong/good unit must be bought (not unlocked) with money game with specific quantity. Furthermore, the quantity would be reduced when an unit is dead or destroyed. That means decent amount grinding which is very unusual for single-player tower-defense game. However i appreciate the developer take back rights of this game from trashy publisher, fix several critical bugs, bring small improvement and reduce base price of this game. This is something i rarely see for game which released 7 years ago.

[b]Verdict:[/b] Just buy PvZ which is far better, but only 40% more expensive (may vary by region) than this game. But if you already played all better tower defense …3 found this helpful
