Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We used to think this was the coolest thing ever like 7 years ago.
Do not listen to fight. System is horrible. It is wrong as long as you are on mobile.
Sometimes it glitches and freezes like its not moving anymore. The camera isnt moving nothings moving but honestly, its still a good game.
The reason why is because every single time we start the game our robot starts out plain white! Please fix this.
All we had to say is this is perfect.
This is so cool but it crashes a bunch.
We love it but it gives us 2000 health 200 damage 80 arrow thing we forgot the name and the mega blast like how first real fight is so unfair and we cant use our attacks.
This game is super fun, and we love how you dont get random ads, but the inly reason we didnt give it 5 stars was because the battery, only ten!? And then you have to wait, or watch an ad, we were like sure Ill watch an ad, but the ads arent skippable, so it takes longer. If the devs read this, GIVE MORE BATTERY!!! GIVE LESS WAIT TIME FOR BATTERY!!! We really enjoy this game, and you should download it, just know it freezes a lot, but it never crashes.
Its really realistic. We love it and you can fight people you can go to the side with your phone. Its so cool.
So this game is cool! The beginning the room was shaking, not anymore though.but every thing is awesome!its like Pokmon go.
Our robots name is PROTOTYPE but we call him smiley. Best game Ive Played in a while! Thanks for making this game :).
We really love this game it is one of the best games we have ever played in a long time so keep making good games.
Ive always love robots and this is the perfect game for us. We wish we always had this game. Unfortunately we ran out of Internet and it made us delete all our games and they make them we said so we have to put our mom is cold and our mom.
Its a really good game so im asking if yall wanna sponsor us;].
Im having an issue that everytime we even do the training it stops it buggs out like frozen up and kicks us out the game js frozens up the whole phone and its only the app we try other apps and our phone works normally fine without any issue but the moment we try and play this game it buggs out so the application has a bug or something that frozens up after a while and doesnt let us move on keeping us on the same level the game is awesome but idk why this suddenly started happening.
Its such a cool robot game. We love you so much you get to have your own robot in battle them and make them stronger. There arent any given that many words that we can describe it with go check it out.
This is a awesome game but when we dont have a well lit area we cant play so can you add a non AR mode please.
The game is very fun in the first 12 minutes it was fun! But the game is very laggy for some reason besides the lag the game is very fun.
Please, can you make a not a at version of the game because it is very annoying in AR so please make a not a at version please.
Just started playing it and wow it just amazes us how fun this game truly is and the grind is real so you keep going back for more.
We love this game omg we love it idk what to say bye. Bye.
Why is it so laggy it made our phone not turn on.
It is just the best ar but we wish you actually were the one punching and blocking.
Cool, super cool Im done now.Thanks for the heads up though we appreciate.
But why do they match us up with people that have less common then ours bc its legendary but we still lose and how do they have moves already.
We were trying to play this game with our brother we tried to invite him but it would not work.
We think it would be better if you dont pay money.
It is fun but they wont let us play local play.
Love the game but severe crashing/lagging problems. We get it is in the early stages but it is kinda getting annoying that is why we gave it a four star.
We love this game its just it lags too much please fix this bug.
We love this game, but the only thing is that the robots are a bit big.Also it would be nice if it was more three dimensional,like if you could make it look like youre touching it. But thats just our opinion, and that is what ya wanted right.
We love the game but sometimes it Would bug out and glitch our whole phone, pls devs fix this its really annoying.
This is a super fun game if you love robots but we wont lie it takes a long time to load.
They need to introduce a difficulty level select for single player or something, as we find ourselves losing back to back on bronze.
The one really really really bad thing we dont like about this game is you shouldnt be limited to how many games you can play but otherwise the game is good.
So on our phone is at low percent. Our robot is running away from us for some reason and it goes out our house. Please fix your game. Its real buggy.
1st glitch is training, every now and then the robot stops punching when the bag is 0hp, some times the fist doesnt move when were doing the hp training+som of the gloves colide and make it impossible to block, and the 2nd glitch is when the robot suddenly freezes out if ni where on some devices.
The game freezes and we have to reset it.
Every time we play it makes our phone freeze.
Its a good game but for no inherit reason the game freezes and doesnt work unless you swipe it out.
When we started playing it was freezing up constantly we would have to exit the app and star again can the developer please fix it.
This game is so cool and we LOVE THIS GAME so much but this game could have a little upgrade.Sometimes the game freezes a lot of times and starting to annoy us a LOT.
This game is pretty enjoyable, and can work without Wi-Fi!(For some aspects, anyways) its unique and its better than a generic fighting robot game due to the AR. We love the designs and UI. The only thing keeping this from a five star review is the how complicated local multiplayer is, and how the AR camera darkens the original Apple one, causing a harder to use experience. Still a great game! Our friend even asks for videos of it because of how satisfying the combat is! Great game, would recommend.
It kicks us out of the app when we try doing a local battle.
Many bugs please update, cant play local with the bug.
This is an great game but we Think you should be able to pet your robot and feed it,like bolts or something.
Ok first off this game looked good until when we used ar our phone started crashing and it almost called 911 somehow :/.
So we cant seem to understand why but we cant use the right or left abilities and we can only use the center one please help.
Why there is hard opponents we keep losing losing losing just get us Eager opponents.
For some reason this game keeps crashing we know its a glitch and also a good game so we gave it a 3 star review.
