### 4/5 — Add Auto battle plz

*2025-10-18*

I can’t focus on my brain rotting and drunk driving if there isn’t an auto battle feature to help me focus on my Peter griffin clips with subway surfers game play, other than that pretty decent game

**Developer response:** Hello, SlugSucker69! Thank you for the feedback. Auto-Battle & Skip Battle features are planned to be implemented in the upcoming Update set to be released in the Q1 of 2026. Thank you for playing the game and sharing your experience.

### 4/5 — Main complaint

*2025-06-26*

Didn’t seem to have an auto battle feature

**Developer response:** Hello, Mrs. Swaney! Thank you for reaching out with your review. Auto-Battle & Skip Battle features are planned to be implemented in the upcoming Update set to be released in the Q1 of 2026. Thank you for sharing your experience and enjoy your game.

### 4/5 — Hopeful

*2025-03-13*

Game is a lot of fun, but hopefully an update soon. Looks like it’s only open to area 3. I don’t believe the Guns Base is open yet nor can you get any bits above common tier.

### 4/5 — Has potential

*2025-02-15, version 1.0.3*

Overall  fun game unique twist on turn based rpg, only complaint abilities are a little to similar new mechanics and more diversity is essential going forward

### 3/5 — Tough but can be fun

*2025-02-10*

This game has a very interesting concept of battle and strategy the only problem is that it’s also part gatcha which means the game gets hard if you are unlucky

**Developer response:** Hello, Duelistchamp! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We know luck can be a factor, but with the right strategy and upgrades, every battle can turn in your favor. We’re always looking for ways to improve the balance and appreciate you being part of the community!

### 3/5 — Good game but needs major balancing

*2025-02-06, version 1.0.3*

The game is so fun and I love all the ideas that have gone into it. However, as another review stated the bosses are way too overpowered. I’m on the final boss of the first world and there’s no way you could beat it with the equipment you get so far. This is after building up daily rewards to try get mores boxes as well. I think if the bosses were tuned down, level rewards were upped and the price of the 3rd robot was lowered this game would be seriously addictive. In its current state it’s basically soft locked as I don’t believe you could beat it unless you paid for gear to power your way through it.

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2025-02-05*

Needs some sort of PVP PVE community
Cant just be solo i doubt it will stay like this because its perfectly set up for all that stuff. Nice art style kinda like this old game tap busters.
If no pvp/pve events are added and or guilds then people will not find the game and the ones playing will jump ship. Also thats prob the only way to get people to spend money anyways tbh.

### 3/5 — Needs Tweaks

*2025-02-03*

So far, the game seems fun … but it definitely needs some tweaks.  

First: the resources are WAY too hard to come by.  I’m grinding for literal hours to try to get enough stuff to complete the daily quests alone.

Second: Daily quests.  Absolutely freaking ridiculous to open three chests per day.  That’s 120,000 coin.  How much coin am I getting per completing each level?  Like 5,400. I would have to complete 23 levels without auto-battle in order to meet just ONE daily quest requirement.

Third: No auto-battle?  I get it, you want the player engaged … but when someone has to do something like 23 missions, they get tired of the grind.  It’s annoying.

Fourth: Are bot bodies limited to only common?  I can’t find anywhere where it says what the drop rates are and I only get common.  Also frustrating.

Fifth: Upgrading bodies.  You’re telling me that leveling up my common bodies gives me only *TWO* HEALTH!?  What is the freaking point of upgrading the body?!

Sixth: No easy swapping between maps?  It should be a simple swipe left/right to fix this problem.

Seventh: Coding needs to be reconfigured for things on screen.  Say I’ve tapped a module, it displays numbers, I upgrade it … numbers don’t change.  I have to tap something else then re-tap the initial module to see the changes.

That’s all I have for now.  I can’t tell if I love the game or not yet.  I’m a fan of the somewhat quick gameplay, no energy/time countdown, and no PVP.  Can’t wait to see what changes future updates have.

### 3/5 — Power Creep/Economy

*2025-01-28, version 1.0.3*

The art style of the game and combat are both pretty solid. The main issue lies with resource economy and enemy power creep. The enemy scaling is far too drastic in comparison to the player’s, and you don’t gain enough resources in order to increase your own power. It’s a pretty detrimental issue for player enjoyment for the time invested.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2025-01-26, version 1.0.3*

Artwork is awesome, game gets real grindy though.

### 5/5 — I love

*2025-01-24, version 1.0.3*

This game keep it up

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good

*2025-12-29, version 1.2.7*

Хороші люди, хороша гра

### 1/5 — Tutorial?

*2025-04-20, version 1.1.1*

Maybe other reviews have said that the difficulty ramps too fast but I just can’t, the game shows you the map of the first stage area, but doesn’t allow you to play, how can I even leave a proper review if I can’t play the game

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2025-02-08, version 1.0.3*

Battles do not load, stuck in the loading screen for the first battle,  reloading doesn’t fix.

### 1/5 — Terrible progression

*2025-02-08, version 1.0.3*

What should be a fun game is ruined because sadly the game is tuned awfully which means you hit a brick wall shortly after starting.  Such a shame

### 1/5 — Too grindy

*2024-12-29, version 1.0.2*

The last update made the fights harder which either forces the player to pay real money for upgrades or makes the player grind so much the game is no longer fun. Too bad cuz I was actually enjoying the game before the update. *uninstalled*

### 2/5 — Has potential, hasn’t yet reached it.

*2025-01-28, version 1.0.3*

It’s fun for a short while, but you need to keep upgrading your robots. In itself, this isn’t a problem, but it’s hard to do that because making it through a level doesn’t give you a lot of rewards and when you spend them, there’s only around a 50-50 chance you’ll get something that you can use. After the first 10 or so levels, I found myself stuck because I had spent everything on lootboxes for upgrades but not gotten any so I couldn’t complete any more levels. You also don’t start off with a full squad of robots, which is just unhelpful on its own, but combined with the upgrade thing the game becomes impossible fairly quickly.

However, this game has potential so I recommend you disregard this review if you see it several years after I wrote it. They might have fixed things by then.

### 3/5 — Weekly Quests Bugged

*2026-01-04*

The game is simple but very fun! So far really enjoying it. There are plenty of free ways to boost your income of parts and currency, but the weekly quest hasn’t been crediting me with daily quest completions, and now I can’t complete the weekly. I pay a little here and there to the game but being denied free rewards while doing the work is frustrating, even more so for a F2P player.

**Developer response:** Hello, Mitchfit117! Sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing some gameplay issues. Please contact us at support@junkineering.io and share a screenshot or a short video of the issue if possible. We will definitely investigate your case. Thank you for posting your review!

### 3/5 — Potential

*2025-03-23*

I like the art and creativity of the different units but once you hit that first progress wall it becomes a grind.  Levels are simply not fun to replay for resources.  If the implemented an auto play feature to help grind levels I would be more invested.

### 3/5 — Evv

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.3*

Just reiterating what others have said but the difficulty increases so much so fast that there’s no way to reach level 20. Fun concept but even when buying the starter pack i’m still not able to progress and the grinding becomings frustrating and tedious fast. 

Potential is there tho just rebalance ur game guys!!

### 3/5 — Needs rebalancing

*2025-02-10, version 1.0.3*

Like others have said, it is a fun game with a lot of potential, but currently it is just too hard to make it past stage 18 of the first zone. 

You can redo prior levels but they give such small rewards that it quickly becomes boring repeating the same level over and over just to get a small way towards the power level you need to progress. A ‘sweep’ function for previously completed levels would help with this by removing the annoying grind of spamming lower levels to be ready for the next!

If you hit a wall after playing for only an hour, most players will simply uninstall.

*2025-05-06*

Would recommend for its cool mix and match mechanics

### 5/5 — Casi perfecto

*2025-05-05, version 1.1.2*

El juego es bueno y entretenido si la necesidad de estar todo el tiempo jugando sin parar pero me gustaría que se pudiera borrar la cuenta para empezar desde el principio

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-30, version 1.1.2*

Great game

### 5/5 — Great game with updates coming

*2025-03-31*

Game is a lot of fun, and update is expected early April. Currently only open to area 3 and only common tier bots available. Looking forward to the next phase of the game.

### 5/5 — Cool game super duper grind

*2025-03-13*

This game has really cool graphics and art style 
It is a hardcore grind as of now which is good. It benefits the game long term and benefits the creators because certain people will spend money because its a good game with a long term progression system. As of now i havnt seen any events and no sort of community based events or guilds or PVP 
Im sure these are in the works and would be necessary for the game to succeed. They have all the keys to a great game just need to execute with future updates and great events. As long as the progress and upgrades are seemingly endless then game will succeed
👍🏻👍🏻

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you enjoy the graphics and appreciate the game. Your insights on future community events and progression are invaluable.

### 5/5 — Sick animations good potential

*2025-02-17, version 1.0.3*

This game is phenomenal and has loads of potential to thrive and succeed in the future.obviously there’s a few minor issues but for as far as potential comes this is the best I’ve seen.Keep going!!

### 5/5 — Give it a go

*2025-01-29, version 1.0.3*

So far so fun

### 5/5 — Game mechanice

*2025-01-29, version 1.0.3*

The gameplay mechanics has really been exciting and interesting in the game but to comprehend what the future could be like hope that earth doesn't have an apocalypse though I love to se3 earth flourish and thrive to prosper in the future.
