Community Insight:
We love this game but the red monster robots saw is full of bugs it bends every witch way and when we saw our enemies it does not go down even when we are waiting.
Amazing for kids if they are bored.
This is one of the most fun games we have we do recommend it but if you see something that says get rid of ads! Dont click X no matter what you do it will give you a ad so leave the game when that happens but its fine tbh.
A little wonky on the controls but once u get used to it. Its a blast. Highly recommend.
This game is great but we fight opponents 3X our strength. If you could give people bots ~ their overall power that would be a 5 star review.
Its a fun game, but its full of ads.
This is a good game and we enjoyed playing it but we got rid of it because of how much stress this simple game put on our cpu. And will very little snooping in code this whole app is a miner scam. Basically to ours bitcoin and other crypto it takes ram and cpu power so they made this game to steal cpu power to help them ours crypto which isnt all that harmful but its still a really scummy thing to do so if you play this game just run a vpn. Itll still run your cpu hot but at least your not giving the owners of this game any extra money. All in all theres so many games on here that are basically the same thing without abusing your phone.
Bought disable ads in the shop. It only disables random ads between matches. Not any others like for unlocking skins or getting an extra item from boxes. Otherwise its enjoyable.
This app is a great simulation of the battle bots. Indeed, many of the bots are from the show. The economics are largely ad based, with in app purchases if so inclined. We dont mind playing adds while having 30 sec meditations, so that works well for us. The game play is simple and fun. Highly recommended.
Great game to pass the time. Loved the show..now we get to be part of the battle.
RAA Why cant we not download it.
Many of hours of fun , cant put it down , best game Ive played in a bi four thumbs up.
Probably the best game ever. Its so fun you get the customize your robot. Its one of our best games, but theres one problem. That basically says where youre from which is totally fine. Like if youre from the United United States but we downloaded it on a vacation and Ireland which Im writing in Ireland, but we wanted to say Im from the United States, but we cannot change it.
Its great but theres one thing it could add like so much it has potential to be a incredible game it just needs some updates that are gonna add to the game and make it able to be ported to console. And adding different types of weapons and make it so you can control the size of the weapons would be nice for sure like the old battle bots video game would be awsome.
Love this app tons of fun just wish it didnt get our phone so hot we can barely hold it and we wish it didnt drain our battery so fast.
We love this game because you get to make your own bot and fight it with other bots. But we want it to have a championship which other people.
We think this game is really fun especially for a battle bots fan. But the one thing Id like to see change would be being able to search other players and battle them. We think being able to find people and play against them would be awesome. The game is fun and addicting just needs a few improvements to make this game one of the best.
We really enjoy the game. Its fun. But every time we have to watch some ads, once the ads are over, the audio in the game is dead. It no longer plays. Its like somebody hit the mute button on our game. The audio from ads plays just fine, but the game audio is gone.
We are a huge fan of battlebots and the NHRL and this feels like a love letter. This game is perfect in every way. The game would be better if there was more bot customization and you could play offline. If those things get fixed, especially playing offline, then this game would be five stars.
The concept of the game is great. There are points where bots get stuck and there is no way to get out. The ads are quite aggressive, and the game needs balance work, that being said the base game is quality. Does include a strong pay to win aspect which is very off putting. fix areas / stuck points update and add content * allow avatars and more pilots.
We have one problem. The bosses are so much fun, but you can only play them once make them replay-able and its a five star game.
The battle royale fight option is nearly impossible to win, as for we had 25K power, and one of our opponents had 33k. It needs to be a lot more equal. Thats really all the constructive feedback, so yeah. Good game otherwise.
Get rid of the bot accounts in the game. How can you drop 11 places in the last minute of competition in the last 1 minute, as the score board shows no one below you on line? Frustrating.
Good luck everyone getting the consecutive win challenges. Its guaranteed that youll get stuck in a wall or on top of a wall just by glancing it. It kinda takes away the fun when you have to constantly watch any and all barriers in the game. Its pretty common to get stuck the entire game play. You cant flip and you cant move. If there is one skill that will help you succeed in the game it would be the ability to stay away from all barriers. Other than that its pretty fun.
When we play we sometimes will fall through the map and loose and we always get pay to win people all the time.
The new skill tutorial make we to where we can't press anything other than the button, but the limited time offer shows up as soon as we enter the game and we can't get out because of the tutorial. Get rid of the limited time offer opening as soon as you enter.
The game is ok but Im getting lots of ads and the sound option doesnt work for us idk if its the same for all but over all ig we can recommend it its alr.
Not only is the game very buggy, yall need to fix the match algorithms baddd!!! How is it fair to have us battle someone that has over 1000 xp and we have less than 250!??? What kind of sense does that make? We almost gave this game 1 Star.
We woke up this morning to having lost all of our progress. All the ads we watched to get extra stuff for nothing. Very disappointed.
It was cool for a little bit, then the game pairs you up with random people in battle that are 1000x stronger than your bot. After the first 3 in a row of no way can you possibly beat them we deleted the app. But fun while it lasted.
This game is so unfair, our power is 34,000 and Im getting matched up with opponents that are 59,000 +. Update: Ive increased our level to 245K and Im being matched up against players with 1000K. Thats 4 times the strength of our bot, Im defeated in a matter of seconds. We know Unity is only doing this to make us spend money which will never happen. While the game is fun when its a fair fight, they are going to lose our interest real quick.
- We cant choose what arena we Bettle in 2. The damage isnt realistic meaning you cant knock of an opponents wheels ,or anything. , the lifters are super inconsistent and how some of a bit gets skipped over if can magically flip over despite having n way to do so , make it do unless its invertible or has a way to flip bald over or gets flipped over then it counts , and the countdown doesnt work for our opponent at all , there should be a countdown for any of that stops moving , and the physics arent realistic , no wedges and not enougb weapon / armor choices, the game has lots of potential tho and pls remove the skills Ruins the game.
So fun and it is our favorite game l ever played.
Im stuck on the game not being able to do anything because Im on a screen where we have to type something but then theres something that has zero seconds left remaining, but we cant do anything about it to close it or anything because it says the click on something.
Its a good game to get but we bought something for 10.00 dollars and we never got our stuff from it so we would like to get it or give us our money back.
We have spent hours building our bot as best we can, yet every single time we try a fight it is against a bot that is no kidding 4-5 times stronger than ours. It is not a matter of time or skill, it is always a million skill vs our 250k time. Again, it is NOT a matter of time and effort and a thousand ads, we have put in enough time to at least play a bot at our level. The game has become no fun anymore. It takes a lot to upgrade and the levels are stupid. Oh, you earned 11,000? Cool, next is 48,000. Does that sound fair?! Dont waste your time. So much potential for a game that obviously is a horrible money pit.
TL;DR, game bad, now hardlocked out. Game was already kinda bad, but the game hardlocked us out. It wants us to tap to open active skill, but we cant due to the transformers pack blocking everything. Cant close either. Screwed over by greed. We have no choice but to delete the game unless this is fixed, but we doubt it.
Fun game! Please lower the cost of upgrades and add higher levels of bot components. It would be helpful to have a support contact. We play this all the time its very fun.
Hate that it identifies us in a different country than we live. Doesnt explain well how power works and how to improve it on your bot.
This game is garbage. When you play a battle Royale it seems like all 5 bots go after you and nobody else. If its real people then why are they only going after us and no one else.
If you are rich, you can play this game no problem. If, like us, you dont have a lot of money, you get to a point where you dont get enough coins or rubies to upgrade anything. They set unrealistic prices to upgrade and Im sick of it. Im deleting it because it is a waste of time to even try to earn enough.
Very fun game, very entertaining and lots of upgrade combinations. Wish there was easier ways to earn skips and multipliers than paying.
Game starts out well balanced and fun. Its easy to grind and upgrade your various robot weapons to be competitive in the early arenas. However, by the time you reach the current last arena (Dubai), your opponents quickly outscale you, and the cost to upgrade gold tier weapons becomes impossible while playing for free. You get 40 coins per battle win, plus 100-200 coins per 2 hour chest. Then to upgrade one of your weapons from lvl 8 to lvl 9, it costs 110,000 coins. This is just one example of the prohibitively expensive upgrades that forces you to drop $20-30 just to upgrade one weapon. As mentioned above, your opponents will unfairly outscale you. Theyll have power levels of 600k+ while youre locked in place at around 350k, totally unable to improve. Do not download this game if you are looking for something F2P, this aint it.
Add, a Fire Extinguisher for protection.
There is only one problem for us when you are battling and you hit the bot with your drum spiner bot the enemy bot should fly up because of kinetic energy just watch battle bots and you will get and idea and also when you hit the enemy with a spinner bot the weapon should decrease in speed the slowly making up speed.
Fun but since update, everything cost too much gold to upgrade, gonna take us years to get 10 million gold to upgrade ITEM 1 LEVEL.
A very fun game but you need coins to upgrade your bot, and it takes WAY too long to get those coins by playing. Youre awarded 40 coins for a win but need 45,000 to upgrade a weapon after a certain point. Thats too much grinding for us. We had fun with this but will likely delete now as the grind has gotten boring.
You give people unfair advantages over other people that arent using money. How are people that dont use money supposed to win. We dont mind the free stuff that you give away but the amount of annoying things that getting stuck in the ground. Or flipping over and having someone on top of your bot is another unfair advantage.
Wont even say all of them, but one recent huge problem is you cant use some part set ups that before you could because they changed how many points it cost for the total amount with bot & parts. We had a really strong set up and it takes a really long time to grind in this game and now we cant use what we worked so hard to get since they changed it. Another huge problem is playing against AI after a while has rediculous miss matches. Their build up is way too much higher. Plus this game ridiculously buggy.
Was gonna be a five now its a two Inflation is boo boo make 130 every match An upgrade is 11 mil in cash Just a little rap to show you what its like But has a fun gameplay thats darn right.
