I personally don't like the game, it crashes a lot, and it the challenges are either too easy, or too hard, the career mode requires no effort, or skill at all really, the commands are pretty worthless also.

This game is fantastic. Simple yet rewarding is the best way to describe it. Definitely worth the 2-4 hour investment to beat the game & challenges. 5/5

Wow challenge 4 is retarded. You cant control both bots at the same time while keeping the shield between the dragon and sword. Half the time when you do have the dragon shooting the shield the sword is too far away to fire back and then when you have the sword close enough to shoot the dragon, the dragon shoots the sword. You must be amazing at this to control them since once one of them moves to where you want it to, it goes retarded again. Unless im missing some critical technique this is really retarded. 2/5

There is enough of interest going on here that I'm incredibly frustrated by the sheer number of ways this game crashes Firefox.
However, career mode mostly devolves into repeatedly replaying matches for cash in order to buy the obvious best "tank" style vehicle which is always capable of crushing your opponents. Multiple viable "specs" for robots would be interesting.
Challenge mode needs a way to immediately end the challenge when it is obvious that you can no longer win, such as in Challenge 4 of the Dragon kills your sword.

I beat career mode without ever knowing that I could actively direct the bots. Just let a couple of arenas run themselves out, upgrade and win. The challenges really brought to light the bad pathing algorithms. The frustration of challenge 4 was that much worse when the 2 bots were always running into eachother, pivoting back and forth trying to find the right direction to go.

very nice game, funny, and well done, ppl whining about AI, but its probably one of the hardest thing in a game, anyway i actually use only manual control so its rly not a problem
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
That's an really interesting game.
I've saw that too many people are complaining about the AI, but i havent seen to many great AI in real robots contests...
So, great job with these game!!!

So, Challenge 4.: first beat challenge 5 to see how to you should control the sword. After that, go back to four and do this:
1st. Set the Shield to follow the dragon. 2nd. pull the sword back so the shield goes in between you and the dragon. 3rd. pay close attention to your sword, trying as hard as you can to keep the shield between you and the dragon while you slowly shoot him to death. It's not hard, but it'll still take some luck and patience. Great game!

The "Standard AI" is ridiculously retarded. If there was an option to control bots more directly (or just make them STOP instead of moving around drunkenly!) it'd be a lot nicer. 3/5

Its not just the AI. If I ask the "shield" to follow the dragon, it gets lost or stuck all the time. It hits a wall, and sits there. I also noticed that if the shield is right on the dragon the dragon won't fire on it, but it will fire on anything else around it. Even if instructions are given to the sword, it doesn't always follow the directions. If the bot is on the wall, all bets are off. This is one area of the code that, if repaired, would probably make this a very playable game.

Yes, the AI is terrible, but that is why you have to actually learn how to control the bots well. Apparently, you guys have not. And the reason they keep on going in the same direction is because it automatically resumes AI once it completed the order. It probably would be smart to have some sort of a command to cause the bot to stay in one spot though. Still, extremely fun, and I'm good at it- only lost once! 5/5

Fourth lucked out!
Make shield follow sword, then move sword like in 2 or 5. You should make it after about 75 tries.
1/5 for AI!

Pretty well designed game. I liked the graphics and sounds.
Sometimes the way of acting of the bots and locomotion problems annoyed me, but it isn't a bad game.
Chalenges number 3, 4 and 6 are very creative!

challenge 4 is stupid...how come you tell a bot to go somewhere and it goes straight past the point...pathetic AI...learn how to make the instruction follow what you do in the game...2/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
challenge five is really easy, just keep going around the outside... i beat it again just now just to make sure it wasnt luck last time.
now challenge 4, thats another story, but i beat it eventually too.. :) dont have ur shield bot follow the dragon. just keep it close because if it gets to close the dragon doesnt try to hit it. because the AI sucks.
this game is really bad, but i got all the badges :)

I agree completely with sbonagof. Challenge 4 and 5 are asking way too much. Especially when the AI are extremely stupid sometimes...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I beat it. once you get past lvl4 it gets pretty easy, thers something at the end but i'd rather not spoil it. If you want me to tell you send me a shout and I'll send you one saying what it is.

Hooray! Finally got challenge 4! After trying all the methods I've concluded that the best is to have the sword follow the sheild and then control the sheild, although still really hard.

4 is tough because the enemy's gun has a minimum distance range, meaning that if your shield is within a certain distance to the enemy, the enemy won't shoot it. The enemy will shoot the shield if you keep the shield at least an inch away from the enemy, AND keep the shield between the enemy and your sword. This would be a bit easier (still hard, but easier) if the AI didn't suck so bad.
Challenge 5 is near impossible.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the Ai is so bad in a game based on all Ai and a little luck that i give it a 1/5
challenge 4 is impossible cuz the shield never gets shot
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Its a nice concept, and the career is rather easy. However, the AI blows so much, the turning, the pathing, and not to mention; challenge 4, thats not a challenge, its rather impossible, as of now ive spended a few hours trying to get it done, it all resolves around luck. 3/5
