    If you have been itching for a Metroidvania game with a good sense of humor and a new level of challenge, A Robot Named Fight is worth the investment of time and $12.99 USD. Your metal will be tested as you throw a lot of robots at a ton of meat, but the Megabeast must be vanquished and its secrets must be revealed - in at least one of its multiple endings.

Its a simple combination ofI've played A Robot Named Fight for a good while now, and would consider this one of my favorite "time wasters." Its a simple combination of Metroid, and rougelites, that is incredibly easy to pick up, start a run, and pause midway if needed. The gameplay is simple, but entertaining, as there are numerous upgrades, gadgets, achievements and challenges. One such achievement is to discover a secret area that you can only unlock as you progress through the game. So a few victories doesn't mean you've seen everything.

    Lastly, one thing that isn't mentioned in the reviews is that the game isn't considered complete. There are updates planned for new areas to give more variety to each run, as well as new bosses. So if you're reading this and thinking "but each run will be the same," know that you will be able to come back and see new content with each update.

The game feels like it was made for on-the-go play, and having it on this platform lets the user enjoy its full potential anywhere. The soundtrack is fun, the gameplay is challenging but not merciless, and it always leaves me wanting to play more. This is a roguelite, so be aware of the permadeath. Luckily, you'll unlock items along the way that appear in subsequent runs; this keeps things fresh! Full Review »
