    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.

    I play like 2 hours and quit, not enough entertainment.

    haha oh man, I tried to give this game a chance, but it's just so bad. It's so unpolished it feels like a student game. My character's animation always faces to the right, even when he's moving left. There are a lot of missing sounds: a lot of things that seem like they should make noise don't, and there's areas with no music that really feel like there should be.

There are a lot of missing sounds: a lot of things that seem like they should make noise don't, and there's areas with no music that really feel like there should be. Navigating the menus with a controller doesn't work right. Fighting enemies has no depth at all. I gave one point for the laugh, but I would not recommend this game for free, nevertheless the outrageous $10 they want for it on Steam. On the plus side, the artwork is really well done.… Expand

    Hard but very nice and fun game! Played it with a Xbox 360 controller and it played nice!

    - Very challenging!
    - Good retro artwork!

    I had lot o fun playing it, but it will receive 9 because of the lack of music on some scenes!

    Bad Bots is a ton of fun and there's a lot more depth to it that what it seems most people are saying about it. There are so many nice details to the rooms. The robots become more challenging as the game goes on. I play it over and over again.

    You can tell what Bad Bots is trying to do, jump on the retro style bandwagon helmed by the likes of The Binding of Issac, Flinthook and Celeste.

    Play five minutes and you've basically played the whole thing there are no upgrades, no story to speak of and even the enemies don't change, the difficulty is ramped up by simply adding more of the same old robots.    … Expand

    Sure the old-school visuals look nice but within the first 10 minutes, you've pretty much seen and done everything you are going to do in the game. If you got $10 to spend and about 2-3 hours to blow away tons of bots, then sure give it a try; just know that you aren't really getting that much for what you bought.

    It’s certainly not awful, and when it calls back to the retro style of the classics that preceded it I think it does a better job than most. But the combat design coupled with the clunky control interface really brings the experience down.
