    Hi! My name's Sasha Zenko. I'm from Belarus. I am making hardcore letsplay videos handsfree (using only my chin). I have a program that allows me to assign keyboard controls to mouse movements. I play your game. It's very good. I like it. Watch me playing your game without hands here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_jjjvmuOgE

    I love this game. Do yourself a favor, and eschew the third-person view for the more "simulator" experience in first-person. Otherwise, I can see why a lot of people said "meh". It's too easy in 3p, and ruins the idea of piloting a robot.

    Robot Squad Simulator 2017 tries to create a "career" for a robot operator with his own "squad" of different robots, and the scenarios are a bit outlandish to make sense, in order to throw you some "challenges". The English translation is atrocious and was probably done through Google translate, resulting in expressions such as "To go faster, use the mechanism to kick out the water". The robots are also very limited in functionality to make sense. The result is a frustrating game that just…

    I recommend this on deep sale if you really like the idea of controlling robots for situations like bomb defusing and sometime exploring, but ease of control isn't really important to you. My actual gameplay time to complete all missions was more like only a couple of hours. Its an okay but fairly legit simulator. The bots aren't be fast & super responsive as things in other games, as I expected, since real life bots wouldn't be that way. Keyboard controls are kinda awkward but get the job…

    I got it for free so for me it's fine :). But buy it on sale or get it free at some giveaways. In this condition its not worth 14,99€.

    Robot Squad Simulator 2017 is an equipment/job simulator where you control a variety of human built modern era robots and send them on various tasks like diffusing bombs and so on. Like Agricultural Simulator As with many of these games, there's a lot of potential that doesn't pan out into the great game it could be. While the graphics are somewhat okay for a 6 year old game, and there's even 4K support, there's not much in the way of graphics tweaks. The real problem here is mostly in the…

    Seems like an early access game where the developer got bored half way through and just said 'f**k it I'm done, it's a release now'

    Well, the game is good. But is very slow,and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ robot don't turn left or right, I think that this can be upgraded but I won't play until there. But isn't too bad.

    I only had a quick look and did the first few missions, and I need to disagree with many of the other reviewers. I think the game is, considering it was released in 2016, good, and gets the job done. The few missions I've checked out were fun and varied, the graphics are okay at least. The movement is arcade-like, and I don't mean that in a negative sense, the controls feel accurate enough. Remember you're playing as a bomb squad robot, naturally, the controls are somewhat stiff. I think…

    Robot Squad Simulator 2017 is a specialized simulation title developed by Bit Golem and published by Ultimate Games S.A. that places players in the role of a remote robotics operator tasked with handling dangerous missions where human presence would be impractical or lethal. Rather than focusing on traditional action or fast-paced combat, the game emphasizes deliberate control, situational awareness, and the careful use of technology. From its premise alone, it positions itself as a niche…

    I know people might not like games with sometimes tedious progression. It can be hard to control your robots and to avoid screwing up. But i like it. for some reason. maybe it is because i like robots. the controls can be a bit iffy, as can be the map sometimes. but i, so far, have found this game to be fun.

    I will be blunt his game is pretty boring. I have no idea how I got this game, might have been from a bundle but I can only guess why it was in a bundle to begin with.

    The game controls bad, doesn't have anything particularly entertaining about it, and was a waste of my time to try to play. I do not recommend it. This is the only game that comes to mind that I've played that I would actively steer people away from.

    Its basically good. BUT all the hinting arrows ruin the experience. Even more than that it should have been an open world game. Everything feels staged and forced.

    the idea of this game is GREAT, honestly, but the controls are unmanageable, but in all honesty, with maybe a few updates or working on the game more, this could be a great game!

    Surprisingly enjoyable and not too hard, control 4 different robots with various skills to tackle 22 dangerous missions and save the day, ez. If they removed the cheesy and dated "Simulator 2017" from the title, it might get a few more sales.

    I highly recommend watching my FIRST LOOK video on the game for complete overview and my thoughts on the game, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywcoV2QGR5M However if you want to read a quick review, well I must say if you like robots, you'll find this game interesting, but I gotta say it's rushed a lot and lacks in content. It's good for 1 time play only. Graphics and scenery looks quite nice and controls are rather smooth too, but once you complete all the levels, then…
