While better controls are often suggested, I would also like a way to sort parts and/or bots. When I'm experimenting w/ strategies and parts, it would help to have the items organized in some significant manner.

For people struggerling (as I did for ages) on challenge 4, heres the stratergy I used to beat it: have the shield move towards the dragon, while moving the sword away at the start, before the shield is in hit distance make it follow the sword. From then on kite around the shield in such a way that it remains just closer to the dragon than you, while of course making sure it's in shooting distance. I found this difficult to keep up, but its much better than micro managing 2 retarded robots.

I call bullshit on Challenge 2, it says "evade your opponents for long enough and they will get tired and cease chasing you." I managed to kill 3 of them and the stupid AI decided he's fu**** Rambo and turned towards the last bot and charged him head on.. It'd be so much easier if you can actually control the bots with WASD instead of clicking and dragging like 80 times

You switch between targeting the opponents. The micro is actually pretty easy if you pick off enemies 1 by one by targeting off the bat and just moving when all 3 cant fire at once

the thing with the dragon is that the dragon will go for the sword if the shield is too close range to the dragon, making the level 10x harder when you have to control both units all the time

What am I missing? I can't even get past the first level. I built the best possible robot, but he just runs around and dies. WTF is click and drag to move the bot? It's completely unintuitive and doesn't work as often as not. What a waste of time.

I'm pretty sure this is based on Robot Battle, a game in which all you do is program the robot AI and watch them fight each other. Taking the AI out of the players hands ruins the game.

OMG I HATE CHALLENGE 4..... i had shield dead and the sword with 1 shot from being dead and i still lost, this is going to take a while and a lil bit o' luck

If you could control the bots with WASD or arrows this game would be "Hover bot arena" instead of "Bot arena"! This game is more about building your bots and not really about controlling them. On regular mode controlling is a totally unnecessery feature, you can easyly win without it.

A good way to get through career and generally, you can have your extra bots follow one and you can make a conga line. This assures that all your bots will stay together.. sometimes.

I agree with the others that the AI is not very good. But that's not a big problem becouse the enemys AI is just as stupid as yours. It's only problematic on challenge mode, but hey, that's why it's called challenge!

On the fourth challenge i'm also loving that after losing the sword, you either waaaaait for the shield to die or reload, giving this crappy game another hit to its loading count.

This Game absolutely sux balls it's more luck then skill attempting to drive the bot = autodeath, not attempting to drive = autodeath. Simply awful this isn't worth of the badges.

Awful game mechanics, which is sad in a game with a lot of potential. Customization is simple, weapons are fine, but when advanced battle robots can't stop bashing their head into a wall, it is just too much.

In challenge 4, the shield wanders in one direction until it hits something. This could be the wall or a robot. From what I've seen if u tell it to move somewhere it well follow that path until it hits something. From this point I can not predict where it will go. To me it seems it will go in the direction that will screw u over the most. XD

The fun thing is they gave "The Dragon" a gun that can't hit at close range, so if you send "The Shield" to follow him, he gets closer than the effective range of the gun and "The Dragon" turn to attack "The Sword", making this challenge utterly annoying. It was a 4/5 to me, but the terrible lvl design on the challenges made it a 3/5 to me.

Terrible AI. The movement intelligence is stupid above all measures. I see a lot of potential in here, and usually I give at least two stars for the effort alone, but this one is clearly undeveloped. Sorry for the harsh words, but that is just my personal opinion.

how did this game rate high enough to get badges? here's the strat as far as i can tell: build, save, play, lose, exit, reload, play, lose, exit, reload, play, win! save. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. . . or until you get the badges, if you have the patience and nothing else to do. Seriously disappointing. 1 star

For me, the dragon seemed to not target any bot set to follow it... So I set the sword to follow the dragon, and controlled the shield manually on the outside of the sword... worked for me.

Horrid control system!
Why can't u just give each robot a hotkey? Like 1,2,3,4,5? You can only have 5 robots anyway. Just number them from top to battle.

Does the "Dragon" melt my sword in 5 hits or what? I need a better sword. Challenge 4 is a pain. Arghhhh make him autofocus the shield or something.

2/5. A tired idea "arena combat" idea implemented poorly with a flawed AI system and without even the courtesy of a plot for a backdrop. The only thing that saves it from a 1/5 is the weight system, which actually makes strategy necessary in Career.
Challenge mode should be renamed "Fight against the poor AI to win" mode.

A lot of potential in this game, reminds me of a hardcore battle bots. Best way to get through, just get the best armors and the best guns and win. No need for strategy. Wish the controls were more versatile.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
hell, this game is just pure frustration. after trying a billion times, the best way to do challenge 4 is to have the sword follow the shield and keep it about 2 bot lengths away from that bastard dragon and micro the hell away. No cheap tricks here

The AI for your bots is terrible. This coupled with the atrocious control of your bots makes this game a chore to play. 1/5

The chanllenges are way too long... I mean, you can't control everything like this forever, something fails and you get beat when you're 80-90% done, very annoying...
