So, I tried out War Robots: Multiplayer Battles the other day, and I was looking forward to this one to be honest, it looked pretty cool. Reminded me of Mechwarrior, but online PVP only.
Sadly I was disappointed. Gameplay wise You can choose several mechs to use, once you unlock them. Though after the first two, you will need to save your gems and in game currency to buy new ones. You can upgrade your weapons and change them too, which I thought was pretty cool. But it's very easy to spend too much in game currency on one weapon and not on the other I felt.
The multiplayer combat felt slow though. Like, really slow. There is no tension in the combat whatsoever. You can only move your aiming from left to right. The auto targeting will deal with the up and down aiming. And I couldn't find a dodge button, but it didn't seem to matter because once the enemy is locked on to you, it's just a matter of whos weapons are stronger to take you down first.
You can also capture locations as well, but it seems easier to just take out all the enemy players. At least it is for now. There was only a deathmatch mode when I played. I kept grinding it many times until I got bored. You also gain chests which you can unlock, though unlocking them has a timer. A long one. Same with your mech. When you want to upgrade your mech, there is also a timer.
I'm not a fan of that at all. Visually the game looks okay, but nothing too impressive. The game says its a remaster, but I never played the original so I can't compare the two. I did notice there is no visual graphics settings though. Seems a shame.
So what you see is what you get in this game. Overall I'd say that War Robots felt like a super repetitive grind fest with lackluster combat that felt slow and sluggish, and lacked any intense PVP action. This game is a huge pass for me.
