Fun game, the main route is challenging, but overall a lot of fun (except for the Volcano Dome, being able to win that one is too random). I wish the bots and armor would actually do different things instead of just increasing health (e. g. an armor that's good against lasers but weak against machine guns). The rwards for beating the game are also pretty cool, I just wished there was some bonus levels to really put the final weapon to the test. But there was one major problem for me with this game: The challenges are insane! Were they actually play-tested? I found them way too hard. With my best effort, I could only beat three of them.
Reviews for "BotArena3"
grindy but very enjoyable (if you like accumulating shit)
the weight limits and the progression of unlocking shop items are quite interesting.
in order to not go bankrupt i wound up spending a surprisingly high amount of money in a low weight, high damage machine in order to grind since i sold a lot of items to make room for better ones quite frequently.
though the weight limits get surpassed by the max bot weights near the end, leading me to purposefully down grade which made the ending levels easier since instead of maxing my 2 bots the best i could, instead i just maxed out the damage and filled the rest of the weight with plating, even the final level is like that so you can't even test out your end game shop items, shame too since the highest damaging weapon and highest armoured plate perfectly fill up the weight cap of the final bot.
ignoring difficulty though it's a mix of the satisfaction of watching a game play itself with micromanagement of making sure you have enough money to progress (or creating a grinding bot that can survive in the highest paying arenas possible)
fun game, though it's a shame there isn't much space for experimenting with additional bots, the enemies never go above 3 so you can more than make it by with just 2 bots.
Wow, this was one hard game. There were just so many things going on it. I ran out of money so quickly. I didn't even know how I was supposed to fight at first. Why did it let me go it when I had no weapons? It wouldn't when I had no plating!
Well, the music was great. I loved how it was a very challenging game. Of course, that means it was also very frustrating. Well, I would certainly recommend it. It's just a really difficult game.
WEIGHT IS ANNOYING AS HELL
Great game. 3.5/5 only because it was so short, beat it in less than an hour :(
