The AI is just WAY too bad for the challenge mode to be any fun at all. Having varying levels of AI is clearly sorely missing. Also, why the linear chassis/weapon/armor progression? Why not have some items that are better because they do similar damage for less weight but cost more? Same with armor and chassis. And definitely needs upgradeable AI. Wow.

the AI could use some work. isn't such a problem in the career mode but when you do the challenges and your medic or shield are completely dumb it becomes a problem.

Gonna have to agree with infiniti here
The only thing that makes the game hard is the terrible, terrible AI. I realize that is what makes the game unique but it is also what makes the game hard (in the bad way) and very frustrating. I want to love the game but when I think about it, honestly, it's not that good.

challenge 4 is possible... keep Shield in range and closer than sword. and give sword a clear shot. you should have it in a few tries. i lost shield and still won.

Would be several times more fun if you could control one of the units and have the artificial retardation play for the other units.
The only thing that gives this game a challenge is that the robots don't do what they're told.

Thank you, Feuror1. When I applied your advice, I finally got that badge :D.
I still hate the AI though, you tell your bot to go right, it goes left. It never does what you want.
Still gave it 3/5 though.

on challege 4, the 'sword' died early on, but the 'shield' chased the 'dragon' around the map for 2 min without being shot at itself. This could be a really awesome game with better AI, but still pretty fun with retarded AI on multiplayer.

After reading a grip of posts here and getting a few ideas I tried something new (to me) on challange 4. I commanded Sword to follow Shield immediately. I then controlled Shield and kept him closest to Dragon the entire time without ever really getting between them (I followed Dragon but always stayed a little off to one side or the other). This enabled Sword to have a clear line of site for firing on Dragon at the same time keeping Dragon firing at Shield. The only time Sword took a hit (only once) is when I got too close to Dragon with Shield and got out of his range. Wow... glad thats over. Good luck everyone...

Haha DaoKaioshin... Obviously the game made you passionate enough to sit here and whine through comments.. ;) Yeah the challenges are tough, but overall really good game :D

i'm just going to keep submitting bug reports until the design of this game no longer sports the horrors of mental degrade.

this game needs more commands for the bots... especially for the challenge series... like a stay command would be sweet... itd also be cool if the AI wasnt mildly retarded

Doubly so because there is no way to QUICKLY restart after Sword dies... forcing the player to wait patiently while Dragon kills Shield over the course of what feels like a year of pain.

If you put the two pieces of gold prize equipment on a "SMARTMOVE" (Now there's a misnomer) then that 1 bot can beat the first 6 or 7 career levels on it's own with no instruction.

All i can say is, Challange 4 is pretty random lol... in one game i get him to 10 % in the other i cant even get him to 90%... the shield is pretty retarded cuz it just starts hugging the dragon and the gay dragon starts killing teh sword <.<

If i ever meet you i'ma punch you one for making the challenge 4 extremely annoying... i mean ffs you order them to go 1 place yet they curve around on the way there - and in most cases when they reach they just bloody turn around

OMG! THANK YOU! FINALLY! IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! I don't know how many dozens of times I had to try 2, 4 and 5. I don't know how many times I came so painfully close just to loose. I finally got that badge! YES!

The only challenge I haven't beaten is number 5 and I still say that when you're out numbered 3 to 1 and you kill 2 opponents, leaving one at 10% that is NOT loosing a fight.

Ranged weapons don't really have a minimum distance in combat. Certain weapons miss the mark half the time, while others hit every single time. There is no strategy if you have to guess what a weapon is really going to be able to do.

Best tactic for 4 seems to be to make your sword lock on to your shield, and make the latter dance near the dragon, just within the locking radius while making sure the sword is further away and making pot shots
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Here's a tip for 4...
Keep a certain distance, as the "dragon" has a minimum range, so does your "sword". The problem arises, when the shield gets too close or too far from the dragon's lock and it will attack the sword.

Extremely fun game. Career mode is very fun, not too difficult. Challenge mode, most aren't too hard... but as others have said the 4th is exceedingly difficult. It's possible, just very very hard. Very well done, 5 stars definitely.
