ScrapBots

Decently good game but quite janky, its quite short having 2 back to back extremely easy bosses it might become better eventually but it isn't right now 4/10

ScrapBots in a nutshell: Pick up arm, smack robots, arm breaks, grab another arm, repeat. This game has a bit of charm going for it. Playing as an underdog bot fighting for freedom gives the game some personality, and the low-poly presentation is pleasant enough. Unfortunately, the gameplay loop became repetitive fairly quickly for me. The main gimmick revolves around using robotic arms as weapons, but they have limited durability. Once an arm breaks, you need to throw it away and pick up another from defeated enemies. While interesting at first, it eventually felt more tedious than engaging. By the later stages, I found myself running past enemies whenever possible just to reach the end. Or cheesing the environmental kills whenever possible. The combat and progression simply weren't compelling enough to keep me invested. Not terrible, not amazing. Just a fairly average little action game. Since it's free, it's worth a look if you're curious, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

A few bugs, some obvious lack of polish, but for a student game?? This is actually really damn impressive. Like, I cannot stress enough that for what this game is, especially as a free product, it's just a very creative and impressive little game. I would love to see something like this expanded with more customization and versatility into a full, funded game. There's a lot fun you can do with just the basic concept of swappable arms and parts in a "brawler" style first person game. And despite being a very simple concept there's a lot of jumping off points and ways this could be expanded upon. Even as it is I could see this being something that should frankly cost at least a few dollars. Very well done, devs!

ScrapBots is a rough gem. The vision for the product is unique and quite ambitious and can leave certain consumer feeling "what did i just go through" - thats because this is fundamentally a project and not a product to consume. There is a difference. There is a lot of room to improve and expand on if they are serious to turn this into a product. Imagine Real Steel + RPG. That just sums up how much potential this product has.

I love the platforming,game looks decent,I used steam input for controller support and it worked flawlessly. I think you guys did good.

Solid premise, just wound up dropping it myself because I could feel it was going to be short and I was looking for something to sink more time into when I take the time to play.
