Everyone is talking about challenge 4.. does that mean challenges 5 and 6 are doable.. if so I'd love to know how exactly.

mmm i see for challenge 4. Don't have any problems to keep the shield before the sword but the dragon minimum range is horrible.

i disagree with the contol problem, my only problem is that in challenge 4 the enemy dont have 0 minimal range. Great game anyway.:)

Another annoying part is the lack of a 'restart' button. If in challenge 4, for example, the dragon kills my sword first, then i have to patiently wait for him to kill my shield too..

:) It is genuinely quite funny. Why does a robot that can only heal friendly units "close in". Why can't you target their healer robots in any way!

Muahaha, Difficult controls? I'm an old Dune 2 player (before warcraft and before command &conquer). Try clicking on a unit, then on a "move button" on the right then on the place for 40 units. Took me 2 min to understand this one. As for the game, i would like something to sort the inventory and less grinding. Not a bad game.

Finally completed Challenge 4... worst control system ever considering that AI movement is RANDOM. Shield gets too close for sword to attack unnoticed most of the time. Only way I managed it is to set Shield to follow Dragon, then manually control Sword. Keep Sword away from Dragon until it's busy moving in a straight line, shooting Shield. Then, try and move Sword parallel to Dragon, keeping your distance, but within firing range. MASSIVE pain in the neck. I feel the game is getting most of it's plays by people refreshing the page due to this awful challenge.

This game is so flawed its hilarious. Its not just the controls. The interface is awful, but perhaps the worst part is you never are going to have any idea what you are doing. You have no way of telling what your enemies capabilities are before, during or after the battle. So it comes down to trial and error. The battles don't get more strategic as the game progresses, they are all exactly the same, you just have to try and work out which plating and component combo works. As the controls are utterly pointless, that, in the end is all this game offers you. The chance to click "buy" and "mount", then watch the computer play with itself, leaving you just a dirty voyeur wasting their life away.

@jetz5424 - click both the robot and the thing you want to mount so they are both highlighted - but you're right, there are no instructions and its not remotely intuitive

Challenge 4: 95% of the time, you'll save time refreshing the game if Sword gets destroyed compared to trying to maneuver Shield to intentionally get killed. Who adds a mindless "Wander" function to an AI?

Control is worst than bad. Do I really have to say something on the "AI"? I, personally, hated your game. It took me a million try to beat Challenge 4 and I didn't even get my badge... and what do I screenshot? Nothing, every challenges are the same color green... Oh! and ADD a freaking RESET/RESTART/QUIT/WHATEVER button so we don't have to wait two hours if there's something wrong! Thank you

So the top 5 comments with 1000s of likes absolutely slate the controls and say it renders the game basically unplayable, and yet this is a BOTD on a game with a 3.87 rating..

if you play it hacked at arcadeprehacks, you can get EPIC CHASSIS 99999999 HP and EPIC SHIELD for 9999999999 HP. i did that and fergot the weapon and had rotaxan park arena. :( aww man *a week later* yay it lost like 5%!

Too hard to control bots because it requires clicking... That's just lazy.
But yeah, the robots ai needs ot be improved, if the 4th hasn't been released yet we ALL want a better ai system.

this game is ok but I want to actually control the robot, not just let it wonder around the battle field and then get blown to bits by the opponet.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
*sigh* 1/5
The bots just seem to wander around aimlessly half the time and I have to keep telling them where to go, and they still decide they'd rather turn around and run into a wall when the other bot is right next to them when they get there.

My best team: attacker guard and healer in the middle.. attacker front, healer follow attacker, guard follows healer, thats the follow the leader tactics!!

I found Challenge 5 the hardest, 4 just takes luck and placing Shield outside of the minimum range of Dragon with Sword just ahead and behind Shield. Hard but doable. 5 took a lot of tries and failures from Sniper getting stuck on walls or the Guards scrambling about and cutting him off.
