Terrible game. Didn't even realize they attempted to give control of the robots until 10 minutes in. Robots just drive around shooting randomly. No control and no point. Win half of games at random and lose the other half. Not even worth playing.

The "controls" are bad: with more than 1 robot on the field, it gets really annoying to keep them doing what you want them to do.
Also, there should be some "Stay where You are, Idiot!" button, and some sort of persistence, like telling one to follow another robot. Yeah, and a pause menu, and a restart button, that would be great. Although the game has a potential, for now its a 1/5.

this is worse than using dragoons in starcraft... the game would be pretty interesting if you only had a halfway usuable control system, I think I can see why the creator was thinking it might be a good idea for them to work as guided AI but the AI you get are actively suicidal and pretty much do their best to loose when not under constant supervision from delayed, clumsy, often ineffective controls. Rule 1 of making an involving game is making the player's part of the game belong to the player and it seems like the developer has done all they can to do exactly the opposite and if the challenges are anything to go by they did it with an excellent understanding of the efects of their own mechanics.

No tutorial at all. It is actually possible to screw up right at the start - irreversibly. Why? Because nothing is explained. Nothing. I don't even feel like giving that game a real chance after 3 minutes. Try again, dear dev.

Seriously, restart button is so hard to code ? I love to watch the shield avoid the ennemy while the sword is out 10 minutes ago in challenge 4, but I have other things to do ...

This game would be enjoyable if only my bots weren't such bumbling idiots. My bots would follow orders for a single second only and then proceed to do twirls on the spot while getting taken out by enemy gunfire.

FINALLY GOT CHALLENGE 4!!!!

Alright, this roomba bullshit is the only reason anybody loses. It completely ruins all use of melee weapons. Fix it. Seriously.

They have the best, non-glitch AI's known to man. They simply get into a range that their gun can handle and fire at their programmed target. This AI fits the storyline well, actually.

To everyone complaining, this game was made in 2007. Thats 7 years ago, of course the Ai isnt going to be that great, the badges were added years ago when there weren't as many games on Kongregate as there are now.

You guys need to just quit whining and actually use your freaking brains, if you think about the challenges and actually watch the AI's attack patterns its really not that hard, you guys are just pissed that you can't beat an incredibly simple game, it only took my 1 hour and 30 minutes after I realized that. You need to actually READ the challenge titles and there description, they aren't called Tutorial for nothing. your all just hating on a great game because you all suck at it, and this is what Kongregate has come to, a bunch of achievement hungry babies.

The controls. Suck! Very little actual control, they go back to their horrible ai as soon as you release, and, for the love of pete, they wander around like lost 4 year olds! One just wandered off in the middle of a fight, moving into a corner and doign nothing while it and my other bot were just destroyed, and had just been about to win! The only reason I'm playing this is for the badge of the day. Disgraceful. There have been many games like this, most, if not all, much better.

At least give me restart button, so I can restart challenge 4 quickly.. without waiting for the shield to die.........

Well this game sort of had my respect, then i landed in a place i like to call, my tanks are too tanky for area 1 and i'm broke

The worst game I've played here. Career mode is somewhat ok, but challenges made me give one star only. If you could prevent your bot from moving after reaching destination, I would give more stars. For example in challenge 4 the shield tries to hide as far as possible from the enemy, yet the sword wants to be as close as possible to the enemy even though I gave exactly opposite orders. That clearly doesn't make any sense.

Ha, I realized fast that you can tell your robots where to move, btw, if you want to mount someting on your robots you have to buy one of these chips, buy a plating and a weapon, then select your Chassis(chip) and select the paltin, then press mount, make sure to enable your robots before fighting, you can use different weapons platins for your preference and keep in mind that there is someting like a 'weight limit' for the robots.
I personaly liked this game.

A. Horrible AI
B. Horrible Controls
C. Huge difficulty ramp because of A and B
D. All of the Above.
Hint: It's not A, B, or C.

Just after I finished the whole campagin I realised you could chose where to move them yourself.. If I knew that I would beat the game pretty much faster.

I almost lost because my robot refused to shoot an almost-dead enemy and started attacking another one with full health. That says everything about the rest of the game.

Pre game stategy option would be nice.
Bot 1. Attack closest
Bot 2. Defend weakest bot on your team
Bot 3. Attack highest health bot.
Bot 4. attack weakest.
ECT.......
