### 4/5 — Four would do

*2026-08-22*

I hate the Mecha Bug. It is too hard

### 4/5 — Pretty good overall

*2026-08-21*

At the beginning at least let the player actually build the pocket bot

### 4/5 — Ads

*2026-08-15, version 2.7.4*

Fun but lots of ads

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2026-08-06, version 2.7.4*

I’d give it 0 if I could. It’s an ad game #1, 2nd you play against NPCs that appear to be PC but they aren’t. Once you’ve played a bit it always puts you against bots 3X stronger than you. If you can push them off the map you win.  Otherwise they’ll use item cards to beat you. An NPC doesn’t care how many cards they use. But yours are limited. This game is trash.

### 4/5 — OK

*2026-07-28, version 2.7.4*

I feel like this game is OK but it does need a Content update also when I watched a video of this game there were more features so why do you delete features in the game if they’re already good also one last thing why is the transformer pack so over priced

### 1/5 — P2W

*2026-07-26, version 2.7.4*

Great game ruined by pay to win mechanics, shame for the devs who actually made a great game for it to fall in the greedy mobile game bin and lost to history. Shame.

### 4/5 — I’m doing good but I’m stuck on the boss firstblood the other four before it were easy

*2026-07-21, version 2.7.4*

Please make it easier to defeat.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-19, version 2.7.4*

It’s a good game but WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE YOUR OWN WEAPONS!!!!!!

### 3/5 — It’s great, until it isn’t.

*2026-07-18*

Right off the bat, you notice that it’s a battle bots themed game. You start with putting together a robot by using different parts you unlock in a variety of ways. Then, you pit your machine against robots that have been created by other people all around the world that are about your level. 
     Eventually you’ll start to notice that your opponents are able to do things to your bot that you can’t, such as ramming into you at high speeds, stun you, summon explosive helpers, and even become invincible for a few seconds.
     How do they do this? The answer is skill cards. Skill cards completely ruin the game by giving players an extremely unfair advantage over players who just want to win fair and square.
     The final reason why I gave this game a three out of five is because the controls are stupidly simple, and players can’t change the controls. Ideally, newer players would have the option to use the current controls and more experienced players would be able to have more control over the weapon(s) on their bot.
     I do not recommend downloading this game, despite the fact that it is free. Many of the adds are forced or interactive adds full of tricks designed to make you accidentally download the app being advertised. The game certainly isn’t kid friendly because of this. You can easily have just as much, if not more, fun by building LEGO and CIRCUIT CUBE battle bots and having them fight in a cardboard box.

### 1/5 — Interesting Concept, Terrible Physics

*2026-07-12, version 2.7.4*

The concept of this was intriguing and the first few matches were fun but there are near-constant issues with the physics engine resulting in random damage, inconsistent driving, and weird problems with getting stuck and no way to actually move or even lose without forfeiting the match. Very glad I didn’t spend any money on this app, because it’s very buggy.
