  Promising project, but some awkward design decisions prevent me from recommending this in its current state. For full review, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RZlwNWwDhM Pros: - Great, cohesive artstyle - Interesting premise - Nice background music - Interesting synergies between robots, enhanced by choices of skills for each individual robot Cons: - Too much reliance on buffs/debuffs. It's not uncommon to have 10+ buffs/debuffs added to your characters, making it easy to lose sight of…

  Well, I got to the end. Somehow. From the top, Robothorium is a Strategy Game in a similar vein to something like Darkest Dungeon - you make a team of five Robots, go do the mission, go back to base, fix your dudes and tinker with the gear, repeat. A very simple Gameplay loop, but it works. ...Only, unlike Darkest Dungeon or similar games, I never really had any particular favourites. I think the reason for this was the big problem that stopped me from enjoying the game. Enemies. Are so.…

  A wonderful RPG dungeon crawler game! Robothorium is a story of a robot resistance against oppression from a tyrannical human government. You play as an artificial intelligence called S.A.I.A and you have a group of robots in your command. Over time you can recruit more to grow your force. The robots come in a variety of classes, some being more offensively-oriented, others more tank-like, and thirds acting as supports for the team. Your active party can have up to a total of 5 robots at a…

  Very well done game. More JRPG than strategy, but it contains all the great elements of a solid game. Character customization, armor and weapons that actually appear on the characters and change the look, healthy skill trees, interesting and even philosophically challenging storyline that truly ponders the dystopian realities of the future, great music, a highly intuitive and informative menu and interface system, and lastly...it has never crashed on me even one time.

  I almost put the game down because of bugs, but decided to pick it back up and finish it. After completing the game, I still cannot recommend it. Lets get the good out of the way. Robothorium's combat system feels solid. It's a turn based combat system akin to Darkest Dungeon except slightly more complex. Each robot has 4 moves plus one "ultimate" they can use at a time. You can choose from a pool of 7 moves. You can customize this further by slotting talent points to improve certain…

There are only 2 real strengths that aren't riddled with caveats and that is the game seems to run fine (I personally encountered no bugs), and that the music is actually really good.

  A review copy was provided by the developer. Game Summary: Based on the game's description, I was under the impression the story would be more straightforward. An us vs. them struggle, with you leading an open robot rebellion to squash humankind like a bug. However, the game is more nuanced than that, involving humans, cyborgs, and robots, along with five factions that have their own goals and ideologies at play. If you want to go the route like I first interpreted events, you certainly…

  Introduction Robothorium: Rogue-Like RPG is the latest title from Goblinz Studio, developers of Dungeon Rushers. Robothorium is set in 2052. Robots have been installed with artificial intelligence to allow them to better perform the jobs that humanity has given them. Not all is rosy for humanity or the robots, though, as that same artificial intelligence has allowed the robots to realise that their creators treat them like mindless slaves. Rising up against humanity, the robots now fight for…

I can live with this kind of presentation and enjoy the game. The gameplay is another beast though. You are gonna spend most of your time in combat which follows the Final Fantasy principles. Group of your guys against group of their guys. Turn-based. Each robot has its stats, skills, levels up, unlocks new or improves current skills.…

  I have played up to the boss fight, and the game feels more tedious than fun now. Moving between rooms is slow. Fighting is slow, even at 3x speed. Keeping track of all the buffs, debuffs, tricks and special abilities is slow. If you're trying to optimize the equipment loadout for your robot, you have to hold down shift to compare them. The comparison should be on by default. Moving between the workshop and the robot you want to outfit is slow. Remembering the right level of gear and type…

  This is an interesting display or a mixture between a dungeon crawler a management game and an RPG. The best part is that everything seems to be well thought and there are mostly no issues (the only real bugs I've found is one area displays a black screen during fights, if you go into the Redeem code screen you can't go out, and the arena you need to use the mouse even if you are playing with a controller).

  Wow, what a POS. Actually that's not fair, I was actually enjoying this game up til the final(?) Boss fight against BreakTech. Until then the fights were challenging, but reasonable. The skill building mechanic was a little off to me, you only get 20 levels, 19 points and most of those points are needed to unlock the upper tiers so that by the time you reach the final tier you only have about 3 pts to put into them. I think a few more levels would help, or lower requirements to unlock them.…

  Numerous UI and scripting issues. Attempting to enable the auto-sell common items feature will cause the game to hard-lock on entering new screens. It's possible to move between zones on a map and have all doors lock with no way out (opening a menu, which causes a reload of the room will fix it). Attempting multiplayer can trigger an error before a match that results in a completely unresponsive interface after the battle, leaving you forced to kill the game in task manager. Playing on…

  Its a fairly unique game, and very fun. The story is pretty indepth. It does have a few bugs on occassion, that can usually be resolved by quitting the mission and restarting, and there is no penalty if you need to. The developers are very easy to talk to and have a discord channel for easy communication. If you like tactical games, this one is worth trying, as nearly any ombination of robots can work quite well depending on your playstyle and builds.

  This is a retro style sci-fi RPG with turn based JRPG style combat. Control a team of robots and overthrow your human overlords. It's an okay-ish concept but the graphics are middle of the road. At least they're not retro pixel graphics, so that's a plus. On the downside, the game menu doesn't display properly on the latest builds of Windows 10, which renders the game unplayable. I'm unable to recommend anyone pays $15 USD for a 2D retro RPG that doesn't work properly.

They're so terribly executed you'll spend more time fighting the UI than playing the game.

(you get a party of 5 and there are 8 bot-classes to choose from) The missions themselves are rather bland and become repetitive fast.

I've played this game for about 2 hours, and even though I'm usually quite patient, I'm 99% sure there's no point in going on.

  Charming turn-based RPG with good music, acceptable graphics and some interesting combat. Comparing items is more difficult than it should be (hint: you can compare items) and the English is somewhat broken which doesn't help the story telling and makes it somewhat difficult to tell what exactly a skill is supposed to do. Combat is somewhat slow-paced and chaotic at times, there are a lot of things that stack and fire randomly, making it somewhat difficult to predict the flow of combat. You…

  I got it on sale, and I got my money's worth, but I wasn't able to finish it. Once you get your winning strategy, it becomes a rotation of skills to use, and really nothing else. Trying out the different robots and finding the strategy was fun, but after mid-game, the game felt like a bit of a chore. Would still recommend to pick up on a sale.

  I will mention just one issue: Bad UI in crafting and buying and equiping things ... You do not know what classes are your robots and with which symbols they correspond, you do not know if the equipment you are supposed to buy can be equiped (you might not have the rebot for it) and you do not know when you buy it, if it is better than the equipment you already have !!! So, I have to remember all the stats for 6 items for at least 5 robots ? Really ? I wish I could refund.

  Goblinz Studio hits the nail again! Second crawler with a few changes to each of the game layers (exploration/combat/management/mission hub/crafting) and a different art direction make the experience fresh again. Turn-based combat is well paced and clear. Units are numerous enough and each class can be build and geared in different ways. The "dungeons" are a bit too similar imho but that's not a major issue unless you plan to play 30+ hours. Cocorico! Bravo les gars!

  Robothorium is a solid robot-ish rogue like with a nice mood and tight mechanics. It's a nice improvement from the game dungeon rushers, the previous one from Goblinz. It's interesting to see the story being so tightly wrapped to the mechanics, I think it's going into a nice direction. Also, I'm really glad they're providing community tools such as level editors & all because it brings me back to the cool creation mindset I was with Warcraft 3 or Trackmania.

  Didn't work for me. Maybe the combat gets less repetitive in a few more hours? That seems to be most of what you do in this game. The "exploration" portion consists of moving through square rooms that may have stuff in them. You can interact with the stuff to get a buff or debuff for the next combat, though in some cases the effect seems to be random. Sometimes there's a choice to make with a percent chance of success.

There are some similarities with other games in genre (e.g. shields/structure seems to be inspired by Deep Sky Derelicts), but stands well on its own - it has quite a few some original ideas.

  It's pretty good. It can get a bit monotonous, but there's fun customization for the robots, and they all have different strengths which allows you to change your playstyle between missions. It's easy to get wrapped up in, if you're the type. I spent a few hours noodling around on missions before the plot hunted me down and demanded I continue it. As of this writing there are a few gamebreaking bugs present, which can cause the game to randomly hang on a screen or in the middle of a battle,…

  It was neat at first. Gets *very* repetitive *very* fast. Only a single tileset for all the missions. Difficulty ramps up *really* fast near the end. Got stuck one boss that hits my *entire* team for 450 per round (ignore defenses)... at the start of every round. That's *before* he and all the rest of his team hits for even more massive damage. Impossible for heals to keep up with *just* the 400 AOE. Worse, the levels jumped from 16 to 18, but there's a bug where it says 13... which makes…
