Hey, I bet the dev doesn't even read all the great suggestions here. I really hated this game. It could be awesome and ended up being awful. If challenge 4 wasn't so rigged against the player by the dumb AI maybe we could just play the game and hope for the next one to have better controls. (before making another game, improving this one would make people look forward for the next one) By the way, I feel frustrated and full of hate. Games shouldn't do that.

What's with the terrible robot aiming? Robot is right on top of mine, 1/5 of my robots hits hit the robot because the other 5 having him shooting at nothing at max range instead of point blank range like he should.

Oh, one more thing. A weight limit? Really? Maybe that would make sense in real life but in a game, that's a terrible mechanic. If I want difficulty, I want it to be because the game is actually HARD and not from forcefully imposed artificial difficulty.

To add on, the controls are kind of poor. If you're going to make a game with controllable units, either make it so that you pause the game whenever you choose to change the command or be able to choose more than one unit at once.

The UI is very... Eh. Not very good. Robots are not very good. Game kind of repetitive. The colors are not nice to look at. Dark colors are out. Cheerful colors are in. Backgrounds are ugly.
Kind of surprised this got badges.
Having to quit out of career to get to the settings is just bad design.
Gradients only look good in Anti-Idle: The Game because it's SUPPOSED to look cheap. I think this game deserves a 2/5, 1 being unplayable and 5 being Bloons TD, Sonny or any game by jmtb02.
Please, TheWaste, if you'd fix these, your game would be vastly improved.
If these are fixed, I'd be willing to play it again, but until then...

Thank you Shield for protecting Sword. You're my best friend.... >:(
Suggestions for controls:
-include a pause button because I want to control my bots every movement
-include a stay command or have an option to do only what I say, no automatic AI just sit there if I don't give a command
-for follow have a distance to stay away from the target (after the follow command is given show a line from the bot to the mouse and however long the line is when the user clicks is the distance the bot will try to maintain)

Not only do I have to PRAY that my AI doesn't derp so hard that shield runs away and sword rams it's face into dragon, once sword dies, I have to wait while dragon slooooooooowly kills sheild.

I forfeit on account that my bots are complete idiots. They seem to run away from enemies while being fired upon, deciding it's best to hide and not even try to fight back. They also believe that hiding in a corner facing it is the best defense.

Even the people who are giving this positive criticism... THIS IS THE THIRD GAME IN THE SERIES. To the developer... Keep trying.

Tch, cant control this. Someone in the comments claims you can. But all I get is crazed random movements. Often times moving in the wrong direction.

Developer, nice outline for possibly a good game, instructions are very vague and the description has something to be desired, challenge lies with figuring out the game play, not with playing this one. Controls? Gamers enjoy controlling their own battle(s), at least this way if we lose in battle(s), it is our own faults. Mr. Bot there should have a ''lot'' more know-how before going into battle, perhaps the robot was nipping on the General's booze before battle! My advise: read commits and make necessary changes, others have also brought up great ideas, for myself, I did not think it was worth my time (not as it is), change these and I will definitely return with a higher rating. To be fair, 3/5 (room for improvement). -Marz

We can only hope that BotArena4 allows better control of your bots, because all of the promise of a good game is there, it's just failing in its execution.

That awkward moment in challenge 3 when you thought you were controlling the other team and thought you won *facepalm*

The player character has to be way stronger than any one opponent, as the AI is awful, and as usual, all the enemy AI attacks you, instead of fighting amongst themselves. They must really hate the player.

Story mode is fun, challenge mode WOULD be fun if controls were up to the task. They're not, too bad could have been a good game.

challenge 4 is so frustrating instead of my "sword" being even the slightest of useful the only thing it does is commit suicide by running into the dragon and half the time my shield will just wander around aimlessly until my sword dies and then for some reason it all of a sudden decides its time to spring into action and actually act like its a shield...SHIELD Y U DO DIS!?!?!?!?!
