Mechanibot

Apenas sim, esse jogo é maravilhoso, extremamente barato e você consegue sentir que foi feito com amor. O estilo do jogo é roguelike misturado com tft da vida single player. O jogo não te força a grindar, ele é bem fácil alias. Sinto que jogos interessantes e diferentes assim estão em falta na steam.

Really cool take on the auto battler format while giving the player much more agency! Feels similar to a tower defense but with much more active player input. Runs are quick and aren't too punishing if you buy the wrong Robots at first. It took me just over 9 hours to 100% the game and get the true ending which is a good length for such an inexpensive little game! Excited to see more from Jon Nielsen!

Best game 2022!

Best 15 hours spent The game is very cheap for how fun it is. Surprisingly every strategy you can think of will most likely work to complete a run. When completing a run, the game offers more difficulty modifiers from enemies dealing more damage to having wrenches spawn less often. There is also a story that takes place with enjoyable characters. The story is not too long nor forced on the player. There's also an "infinite" mode where it turns the game to a more last stand type game where enemies almost always and the store is always available. Enemies in the infinite mode also progressively get faster and bigger. Moving to the units, no two units are alike. Every unit has a primary color/class with most having a unique secondary color/class. This allows a mix match of units rewards players for exploring combinations of unused units. If I had a complaint about the game, it would be the awkward controls for mouse and keyboard. The controls themselves are not bad. The issue I have rather is when I have my cursor over the shops gui or settings and I attempt to cycle through with a or d it uses the cursors position and moves the selection back to where the cursor is. You can use the mouse to buy from the shop, it is however not used in the actual gameplay of the game. The issue is a nitpick honestly the easy solution I found was shoving the cursor off to the corner of the screen and forget I even have a mouse. Everything else about the game is great.

(Written at the time of update 1.101) TL;DR easy recommendation. The game is polished, the gameplay just works, and there's quite a lot of content, with signs there may be more in the future. Solid rogue-like (or rogue-lite?) about micromanaging turrets around. Upgrading between rounds is a lot like other games in the genre, like Hades, and it rewards trying new things each time. The tone and graphics are charming and simple, but nonetheless it all looks very neat and polished from the moment you boot up the game. No bugs encountered yet, and again, the experience feels quite polished, so it doesn't seem like there will be many. As regards the gameplay, the premise seems deceptively simple and even dull, but it simply works, and you have to keep up with the difficulty. It seems easy at first, and you do end up feeling OP pretty soon, but then one of the bosses reminds you that no, you haven't figured it out just yet, sweeps the floor with your robots, and then you're left with that "one more run" kinda feeling. Also, let me read you a line from one of the recent announcements for the game: "Introducing Mechanibot's first major free update". That kind of commitment is just commendable. But even if you only got what is available right now, the price is no excuse, so give it a go!

A fun little game that checks all the boxes for the roguelike gameplay loop. Kill things, earn money, return to base, upgrade incrementally, repeat. The 'twist' that Mechanibot offers is that you are not the solo raider like in games such as Enter the Gungeon or Binding of Isaac. Instead, you're a robot that micromanages lots of other little robots. The game has a fun soundtrack and a cool graphical style, and it costs less than a cup of coffee. I recommend this to anyone interested in the roguelike genre. It also works on Deck!

Mechanibot is a rogue-like with a rather unique take on the auto battler formula. You start the game with three coins which are used at the store where you are presented with random options to buy or upgrade the robots that will make up your team. Each robot you add to your team will have one or two classes assigned to them that broadly defines their role, and fielding enough robots of the same class gives a specific bonus to the entire team. Your job during combat is to keep your little robot friends alive while they battle it out with the enemy. Before you start the round, you are given information on where the enemies are going to spawn in and danger zones where you can't place your robots with out them immediately and steadily taking damage. You place your robots accordingly and then can start the round. Where this game diverges from other arena-based auto battlers that I'm familiar with is in the active participation of the player throughout combat. You continue to run around the field as the mechanibot during combat and can pick up your otherwise immobile robots and move them around to keep them safe. In fact, it is required that you frequently move them around in order to keep them alive. There are more tanky robots that don't mind taking hits from regular enemies, but even they can get overwhelmed if they're ganged up on enough and none of your robots want to take more than a couple direct hits from bosses and even mini-bosses. The difficulty therefore comes from constantly micromanaging your robots placement in levels that are increasingly full of danger that they have no chance of withstanding if left in the same place for too long. In addition to robots, you are also given a random selection of items every few levels that modify your entire team for the rest of the run. They can do things like increase healing, give extra projectiles, etc. What results is a highly engaging auto battler with a ton of potential variety in each run. I've put just over 11 hours into the game and definitely feel like I got more than my money's worth given the generously low price.
