Well, initial thoughts aren't too great. The narrator is very cheesy, reminds me of that Soul Calibur 2 crap before each battle. Also the opening cinematic is badly placed, I don't feel any connection to the hero at a time when I'm supposed to feel very sympathetic with his goals.
The combat has an Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis issue. I can see you have all of these weird special attacks you want me to use to improve my combat ability but each time I go into a string of attacks and try to break up the monotony with a combo, I get hit and knocked back. The easiest and most efficient way to plow through enemies is to just mash attack buttons, in fact I rarely get hit if I do it that way. One could argue that I'm "playing the game wrong," but it's a way the game allows me to play, so I'm gonna use it, especially since it follows the Dominant Strategy theory of gaming. The only difficulty within the earlier levels is very artificial, if you get caught changing your robot then you will get hit and you will lose a sizable chunk of health.
As a matter of fact, the only difficulty in this game is rather artificial, it's one thing to avoid attacks using some wicked cunning intended by the game and get hit if you screw up, it's another thing entirely to be faced with an angry mob of robots who, when it comes down to it, is going to lay down one or two unavoidable shots on you.
There's little immersion factor here either, all the levels seem so similar to each other and hitting has a generic fist-on-skin sound while getting hit has a more appropriate metal-clanking sound. There's clearly a storyline somewhere in here but I just don't feel attached to it at all. There's no reason to try and give the character a back-story if you aren't going to develop it or justify the character's personality at all.
Honestly this game doesn't feel incomplete. It feels very finished, but it looks like a polished mess of rushed decisions. It's honestly very hard to imagine this taking three years to complete. It's very shiny and the graphics and animations are nice and smooth, but that just can't hold up the rest of the game.
Reviews for "Tribot Fighter"
Robot kept getting stuck in a walk to the right. I couldnt get it to stop walking right no matter what quality I used. Made the game uplayable for me.
lol google chrome thing on s head
Way too laggy to be enjoyable. Nice idea, though.

Right-click => Quality => 'Medium' or Quality => 'Low' if you're on an old machine. Thanks for playing!
