With so many negative reviews it was hard for me to make the choice of whether or not to buy this game. I spent a great deal of time combing the forums to get a feel for what Bad Bots exactly was. Not to mention starting a post that insisted that games such as Bad Bots should have a demo when mixed reviews come into play. Once the demo was made available, I spent about an hour playing Bad Bots, got a feel for the dynamics, and quickly realized that I needed this game ASAP. That being said... The game is great. Bad Bots has an old school vibe that reminds me of a SEGA game called "Slime World." If you're into murdering blood thirsty robots and trying to save Earth from being attacked by the Titan Hauler, this is the game for you. As the only living human survivor aboard the ship its up to YOU to save the Earth from being overrun by millions of murderous robots. Bad Bots has several different weapon upgrades and choices, tons of hidden rooms, and a great story that keeps you on your ...

[h1]2013 game[/h1] if i look at what is on offer across steam these days, this isn't a weak point. a recent playout had me pleasantly surprised, bright graphics that lifted my mood, interesting [u]shooter[/u] (2D sidescrolling), the story is typical; ([b]THERE-IS[/b] a story), [i]you pick up a limbless bot that now is your companion narrating along the way, AI gone haywire, space travelling junkyard world, [/i] +get it on sale, EVEN BETTER +balanced gameplay -achievements (there aren't any) [b]RECOMMENDED :) [/b]
As the name kind of give away its a bad game so there is at least honest advertising. Its a mediocre 2d sidescrolling shooter with among the most repetitive gameplay I have come across in a shooter game ever and the game has really poor pacing since the game goes on forever and ever before the first thing happen...and then you are all of a sudden on the end boss. The game has no music while you play at all and has a bunch of other strange design choices that really weirdly defended by the developer in a FAQ on the forums: http://steamcommunity.com/app/235070/discussions/0/828939797184939390/ The achievements in the game are fairly straight forward but has some missable stuff just towards the end so would hunt down the save folder location and duplicate your saves as you are getting close to the end in case you mess them up and overwrite your autosave forcing you to replay the entire game to be able to do things again. The most annoying achievement in the game is for dying 50 times w...
Pretty decent side-scrolling platformer. A fun and short game if you want to play something more casual. Nice comic-book style cutscenes for the story, but don't expect anything too in-depth. Pick it up if it's on sale.
It's an original game for sure, but it's not very fun. Too repetitive, and non-stop action. So You only do one thing,it's shooting robots.
This is quite possibly the best game I've ever played; superb writing paired with excellent gameplay and AI makes this a worthy purchase. 10/10.
Basically, enemies have no AI on this game!!! Just run and shoot. There's no fun in it. But the worst to me is the look and feel of an old game poorly made with Adobe Flash.
too easy the bots are stupid our hero too strong got all achievement easily
In this small 2D indie game with its comic book-ish art style and retro feel you play as a sole survivor on a spaceship filled with killer robots. With your only hope being any guns you might come across and finding some means of escape. Unfortunately the fun here is a bit detracted due to the games short length and the controls being a bit clunky (keyboard & mouse only). But despite all that blasting away at a ton of killer robots is a pretty fun way to spend a few hours.
I love 2-D side scroller. This is a mix of Contra and Metroid sort of gameplay. It has its own mechanics, and the story is great to see as you progress. Its not superstrong but hey its leasure play. Its just when u want to kill stuff and be entertained. Its one of those games that makes you think 3-D really over complicated your sense of direction and made things less enjoyable. You realize that 2-d gaming will never die. It is art and is just going to incorporate more mechanics and cinematics. I always wanted to see a male version of mertoid and this guy sort of is better than Samus. I mean he has no armor. F that he said I'll carry my axe, heavy guns, and robot on my back. The real man's way.lol
