The beginning of the game is fun. Once you get past the learning curve, the game makes all of the decisions for you. It’s a slot-style way of choosing which robots you want, so you can only control 1 element of the game, and the rest is up to “chance”. You play against the computer, who, amazingly, gets the best choices. And after 20 turns, even if you’re winning, the computer literally uses a nuke and kills you anyway. What annoys me the most about this game, is that the losing party, somehow magically gets better chances near the end of the game. What I would recommend to the developers to make this game less rage-inducing: 1) change the slot-style system in place, to a system where we can choose what strategies we wish to employ. 1) get rid of the “better-chances-when-you’re-losing” gimmick.

A very entertaining, simple game. Except that the designers have made the mistake of letting the computer cheat in order to increase difficulty. That sort of rubber banding works in certain games, but not in a strategy game dependent on probabilities. It ceases to become a fun distraction and turns into a source of stress. At least give the option to turn off computer favoritism. Another drawback is the app closes too quickly when switching to take a call or other necessary task, and you get an automatic loss in whatever match you're engaged.

At one point this was a game of chance and strategy. Now as it progresses the game tries to make you lose. I played a game where I eliminated the opponents bots, and it roles for a hack. The thing is, it ALWAYS gets a three role hack, and ALWAYS steals my best bot. Then it rerolls for an elite bot. The game actively denies you a chance to get ahead, having the opponent bots role arbitrarily yet giving it the lead in two turns. One game it roles four successful hacks in a row, and then gets an elite tank bot. In frustration I kill the app (which of course means I lost power). So if you are looking for a game of chance, don’t stop here.
