wildcat... firing is automatic. you need to equip the bots with a weapon. origonally, there was no commands at all, not even moving, so its all chisis intelegence. now, you can have some small controll over the flow of battle. the entire series is awesome.

Challenges 2,4 and 5 are nigh impossible to do, Im still having difficulty and i play this for weeks, either decrease the health of the dragon or increase sword health, coz challenge 4 is unfucking believably, hard.

crappy AI, which makes esp the 'challenges' especially frustrating. good graphics, but the gameplay is just tedious. 2/5

A few things that could improve this game:
1) Improve AI
2) Have a Mute Button
3) Have a Pause/Restart Button In-Game
4) Change Challenge 5 because it's almost IMPOSSIBLE
Apart from that it is a great game.

One of my favorite games, but it needs more. I think it would be actually BAD to have keyboard controls. I do not like the fact that robots don't know what to do when they bump into a wall, another robot, or a dead robot. They apear to turn, then bump into it again, turn, bump, etc. The challenges are also agrivating, but then again, they are "challenges". If there was a "Bot-Arena 4", i'd suggest to impove how well the bot can turn (or perhaps, better bots chassis = better turning) firstly. With that, you can then put obstacles in the middle of the arena, or build a maze. Another thing would be the ability to custumize your bot so that the first thing it does when fighting is to attack, distract, heal damaged bots, etc. Good game, i'll give it a 4 out of 5.

The game is very good. Well, the AI is perhaps not the best but that fact gave me a chance to complete the game. Gameplay and build up mode are fine...

The AI is fine, but the controls sucks, some keybord hotkeys would help a lot, and, if you some day make the BotArena 4, DONT DO THESE SLOW CHALLENGES. PS: sorry for english errors, I'm brazilian

The customization and making your team was alot of fun. too bad the gameplay dosen't hold up. Bad controls, and terrible AI. 2/5

Here's the trick that allowed me to beat Challenge #4. First, set Shield to follow Sword. Then move Sword into the lower left-hand corner. Keep it there. Constantly. Ignore Dragon. Ignore Shield. Eventually Shield will die. Keep Sword in corner. Two or three time of that and you should luck into a win.
Stupid AI. Good luck!

damn that dragon it always shoots at the sword and to make matters worse he has a great gun but my goddamn sword has the worst armor man that totally sucks!!!worst challenge ever!!!!

i hate that damned challenge 4 so damn difficult it totally sucks and u can't control where the robots shoot!!! but i liked the career mode and how u make the bots 2.5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The career is good, the challenges are the worst challenges ever. they are to hard. challenge, 1,3,6 and seven are ok but the rest are just too hard. 1/5 game sucks because of challenges.

First, let the shield to die in the best place possible, after that, position the sword in a space behind the dead shield, and it will be protected from all damage as long as it is behind it, and it will be able to attack the dragon.

I just want to take control of a bot and move it with left, right, up and down. The controls are rubbish. I completed the career, but didn't get my badge :(

Good concept, but the bots' AI and movement leaves much to be desired. Some suggestions I'd like to make: a new AI option to remain stationary but shooting enemies that enter firing range; a more direct follow-trail AI (this roundabout, figure-eight and looping is horrible); and no getting "stuck" when touching walls or bot corpses. I agree with some of the other commenters in that Challenge #4 needs a difficulty decrease, such as a lowering of the Dragonbot's shield rating or switching its weapon to something with less range, so the Swordbot and Shieldbot can be used in tandem more effectively.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yea, i agree... here an idea, give an option to turn OFF AI control. like, select a bot, and press F or something. Cause its REALLY annoying, when they complete ur order, and then turn right around and go back, or run themselves into a wall or something, it'd be more useful if they just stood there. 3/4

I loved this game except for challenge 4. Give the dragon 25% less HP, and we could talk. Otherwise, great great game. Also, for others complaining about the music, FlashMute. I have no clue what the music is.

Okay, pretty good game. Controls are extremely horrible though... especially for the challenges. Sometimes the controls hinder you more than help you.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Fun game. Bad Controls and movement. It's like mounting a gun on a roomba and turning on techno music. Hmmm... I have a bad idea.
