RoboPhobik

[b] Review updated to better reflect the developer's efforts [/b] RoboPhobik is a decidedly basic overhead shooter with a sprinkling of features found in other genres. You play as one of several characters as you traverse a city populated by robots to rescue other humans and defeat the big boss PAL 9000. While interesting in concept, the execution is not the best and some features are rather basic. I think the best comparison is to certain games from the rogue-lite genre, specifically the indie game Dungeons of Dredmor or like Azure Dreams from the PS1, though this game does not feature the typical feature of losing all--or nearly all--progress when you die. >The story starts fairly slow, and has rather rough dialogue--I suspect due to wanting to keep conversations short and concise. Characters fall into stereotypes and do not have much in terms of deep personality, but in a genre such as this it is not that important.

Good game even if I don't really like the music. - The game was fun - It got hard - Then I decided to slow down and learn the strategies - Could continue and game got even better

Great game, got hooked on it real quick. If you havent already, id definitely give it a try

Good concept with an interesting plot and fun dialogue (I laughed out loud several times), but it's honestly far too brutally difficult. That's my one complaint about this game, which I otherwise would have loved. I struggled a lot after the first handful of zones, even with the enemy respawn time set to Low. I ended up cheating to push through and see the ending because I liked the characters so much, but then discovered that I needed to rescue all of the scientists to see the actual ending -- which likely would have explained a handful of mysteries that were left unresolved in my playthrough. Oh well.. there's no way I'm ready to go back and do that, especially after suffering through the last few zones and the final boss battle which killed me even while cheating -- I'm honestly not sure that fourth form is possible if you're playing legitimately. This is a good game at its core, so I hate that I can't recommend it, but it honestly needs more generous difficulty settings in orde...

RoboPhobik is one of those obscure great titles that deserves more attention. The gameplay is great and unique. Love the story as well.

Great game, it's really fun! I love the story and all the playable characters involved. The graphics are good and allow to run the game smoothly, really appreciated!
