### 5/5 — 1/3

*2026-05-16*

Out of the entire trilogy of the robot colony games this is the weakest entry but don’t let that fool you this game is addictive and fun
There is a certain point where you become so powerful the bugs are just there to watch get melted
9/10 try out if you have the time

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-08-12, version 1.0.84*

Selecting all does allways work

### 5/5 — Still fun like last time, but what’s with the robots directly engaging the enemies?

*2025-03-10*

I love the game but what’s with direct engagement? Ants Vs Robots and Robot Colony had the defenders stay at the base, but this one makes the defenders look like attackers instead “Defenders”
Overall the game is still really good.

### 5/5 — Robots in the colony

*2024-12-09, version 1.0.84*

An incredibly good game, way more balanced and fun than the last one. Try it!

### 5/5 — Супер стратегия

*2024-09-27*

Единственная, пожалуй, нормальная стратегия. Я бы добавил возможность игры с человеком или вообще многопользовательский режим. развил полноценный интерфейс присущий стратегии: возможность строить здания вне привязки к волне жуков; вариации модернизации роботов и мутаций жуков; юниты сеятели - или здания приносящие ресурсы; возможности найти улучшения для зданий на карте; супер жуки-гибриды (с пушками или электрошоком) в качестве супер боссов.
Ну и так далее
Классная игра!

### 4/5 — 재밌긴함 그 런 데

*2024-04-12*

곤충들도매력있고 로봇으로 왕국을 지키는것은정말재미있지만 조금 게임을 길게 즐길순없을것같고 로봇이좀 제한적이여서 아쉬움 좀더 로봇이추가되면 5점될듯

### 5/5 — great game

*2024-03-27, version 1.0.84*

stop reading reviews and play the game

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2023-12-31, version 1.0.84*

There are bugs with the exploding robot factory sometimes it takes your gold bu doesn’t produce exploding robot or the exploding/healing robot

### 5/5 — Very cool👍

*2023-08-14, version 1.0.84*

Sehr gut
정말 좋아

### 5/5 — Simple, yet elegant

*2023-06-01*

one of the best “RTS” games out on the App Store. It’s simpleness makes it complex which I really enjoy. Great game.
