JunkerBot

Okay, i've managed to complete this game, so here's my thing. tl;dr: unusually solid unity game, made by sole dev. Awesome! You have a base, where your vehicles and resources are stored, with a little management aspect and some other things. Your task is to clear the planet of any hostile thingies. You can travel around in a "Mount And Blade" or "Corsairs" manner, at your own pace, engaging whatever roaming parties or hideouts you want to. So here's combat. Which is pretty neat, with fluid movement, rains of bullets, and scrappy vehicles (gothic-shaped "tanks" and planes-on-wheels included). Although it becomes repetitive (since enemies have limited variety in shapes and composition), it's not that tedious, thanks to boss encounters and area to area advancement. Landscapes are poor tho, but it's a desert, after all. And you can stole enemy's vehicle designs, btw. There's some extra challenge missions, unlockable through campaign advancements, on which you can play with your buddies! ...

Junkerbot is a fascinating game with my own destroyer bot ready to take out enemy bases. The opening and cut scenes share alot of info and the details behind the missions are unique. I haven't figured the vehicle upgrade aspect yet but my bot will surely do some damage when that happens. My favorite part is traveling through the desert to attack enemy vehicles which takes a lot of manuevering and a steady eye but a treasure of rust out in the sand is not my way to go. Great game! For some reason, this reminds me of back in the day with my Atari 2600 games shooting at tanks in open areas.

So for a five dollar game, its pretty fun. The combat seems ok. I am a sucker for mad max like games. But, it does have its own little charm. It can be a bit challenging, the AI is suprisingly smart. It won't hesistate to come straight at you and in large groups. I would say its a moddest game. It seem like a one man team kind of game. I like the ideas, the cars all feel different with some interesting weapons. You can upgrade them to different teirs, but I feel like missed opportunity was made when you aren't allowed to upgrade certain aspects, it goes by versions. I played a little for now, will try some more, its a fun distraction game.

UPDATED, now that I've "completed" the game JunkerBot is an intriguing indie game with a pretty simple premise: car combat, without the chase, the checkpoints, the smashing... It's strictly weapons, from simple autocannons to mortars and "land torpedoes" and more. The action is indeed fast and furious, and there are some depth to the game, as successful combat and "decontamination" of of the area unlocks additional vehicles. However, the upgrade interface seems a bit weird, and the base construction interface needs to be better explained to make sense. The story is simple enough: a bunch of probes were dropped to decontaminate the planet from something. After the probe was deployed, it was out of power, and before it can deploy a solar panel and recharge, storm hit, and it was blown over, and bured in sand. Unknown amount of time later, sand blew away, and the probe woke up, and proceed to scan, dematerialize/recycle stuff, and built itself a basic vehicle, and recycled the initial ...

it is a fun game and takes some battle strategy

Nice little game so far. More controller support would be nice. Found can move cars and fire guns with controller but best using mouse to aim guns, Auto lock on target would be nice.

I mean, it's less than 1 USD. What can you really expect? Basic mechanics, not a lot of content, early-3D-era graphics. Still can be fun diversion with friends. Though, beware, this title has died in early access. No update in half a decade

It's a buck, it's fun, whaddya want from me here???

Amazing for what it is but I think it's not being updated anymore.

is very g gayme
