    The real marvel of Mayan Death Robots is that it’s the first game of its type that I don’t feel is an incomplete experience if you don’t have friends to play it with.

    With a decent campaign and a two player versus mode, the game has a lot of content to keep coming back to it.

    Whatever your reason for buying MDR, be it the wackiness, gameplay, or art, you certainly won’t be disappointed.

    Fun when played with a friend in your room, but not that great while playing solo. Its lack of online features are what make us think that this game it's not going to be a huge hit.

    Mayan Death Robots certainly has its fun moments and there are some good ideas here that make it more than just another artillery game, but the execution is not quite there. Improved controls and a little more meat to the game would go a long way towards making the game more than the niche indie distraction that it is.

    The base gameplay in Mayan Death Robots is quite entertaining. I certainly enjoyed the pacing, and could appreciate some of the tactical depth lurking beneath its humorous, brightly coloured surface. But lacking online multiplayer as it does, this is going to come across as a severely limited game to too many people for its own good.

    Unfortunately, Sileni Studios, in attempting to present something deeper and more original than your run-of-the-mill artillery title, has painted itself into a corner.

Play it as a couch-game with some friends to get the best experience, and it won't let you down. The campaign is short but offers plenty of chances to get to learn the game and crush your friends the next time they visit your house. I can even see this becoming a LAN classic! Expand

Mayan Death Robots is at itsI've played this game before as a beta tester and now that it's out with all the new content, it's even better. Mayan Death Robots is at its best when you play together with friends, you'll get yourself and your buddy involved in some hilariously chaotic and unexpected situations. However, you're sure to have fun while playing against the AI as well. There's always something going on, so you won't get bored.

    I also like that the controls are simple and straightforward, and I just love all these cute little perks the game offers: the way your allied Maya try to help you and cheer for you (woohoo! woohoo!), the funny sound effects, banana attacks and so on.

    Recommended!

    Love this game! Played it lots as a beta-tester and the finished game is even better, with a fun campaign mode.

    I have found that "Mayan Death Robots" is always a great success at game cons, with family or friends, as well as with kids. It's a fast-paced local multiplayer couch game, Worms-like but better, and with a lot of humour and flavour.

    Would recommend!

It's a lot of chaos, but in a good and entertaining way.

    From time to time you have to bury the hatchet with your opponent to take on the mighty Mayan gods! Who (sometimes literally) really shake up the game! You can also destroy your opponent's core in a lot of different and unique ways, and every robot is unique and has a certain playing style.

    The game has a lot of character, the sounds/voices, the Mayans, the annoying Spanish mammals, the game play, graphics and let's not forget about the humor in this game. All the little news reports in the main menu are definitely worth reading! The storyline itself is also really funny.

    I'd recommend to play it together with a friend or a family member, this will give you the best experience possible with the game.

    TL;DR: Very fun game, definitely recommended and a must have!

    I was really suprised by the quality of this game. Sileni studios is a new and unknown game studio but delivers a high quality game. The storyI was really suprised by the quality of this game. Sileni studios is a new and unknown game studio but delivers a high quality game. The story line keeps you wanting to play more and more. Although it is most fun when playing with a friend, you are still able to play against a decent AI.

    In short: A nice balanced game with lots of replay value!

    Cool, deep, yet quick gameplay. Think Worms but with the modern touch every worms game totally missed out on. A more tactical gameplayCool, deep, yet quick gameplay. Think Worms but with the modern touch every worms game totally missed out on. A more tactical gameplay approach with the same fun fun factor and robots.. Expect the unexpected and anticipate, and watch the timer! Oh, did I mention robots, rockets and nukes yet? Expand
