New content would be so fun. ### 1/5 — Nostalgie aber nicht fair *2026-08-08* Hatte Lust das wieder zu spielen aus Nostalgie Gründen. Aber das die AI nicht cheatet ist eine gigantische Lüge. AI rollt 3x perfekt hintereinander nachdem ich schon ein Match davor verloren hab indem genau das gleiche war. Was sind die odds? Naja die paar Minuten hat das Spiel schon Spaß gemacht, aber auf Dauer regt es mich mehr auf. ### 5/5 — Would love a sequel *2026-02-28, version 2.10.4* Rediscovered this game when looking through my old apps for a different game I had never finished. I LOVE this game, and would kill for a sequel with more campaigns, more skins, more variety in development, etc etc. I just want more! As is, this game is a very fun few hours, or very fun few days if you buy the energy (I was also frustrated by the energy soft-lock, but then I considered that it’s basically a game that costs a dollar, with a free trial for 10-30 battles depending on your skill and luck). The robots are super cute and the battles have good replay-ability despite the limited dynamics. Again, a sequel with new attacks, maybe other wheel options, I would eat it up!! ### 5/5 — 2026 *2026-01-08, version 2.10.4* Used to love this game and just found it again auto five from what I remember ### 5/5 — Childhood game *2025-12-24, version 2.10.4* Close to my heart to be honest. Yes the AI luck is frustrating at times but man it’s immersive, fun, the art is simple yet still pops…. Definitely one of the OG’s of its time. Thx devs for making this I hope you guys make a sequel or something! ### 3/5 — Eh? *2025-12-16, version 2.10.4* It’s well made, very polished. Infuriatingly luck based, the game essentially chooses who wins and though strategy is undeniably involved luck is infinitely more important. ### 1/5 — Gamblers paradise *2025-12-11, version 2.10.4* If you love gambling you will love this ### 3/5 — Computer luck needs to be adjusted *2025-11-28, version 2.10.4* This game would be so much more fun if the computer didn’t get all the luck. ### 3/5 — frutiger aero感あるデザインだけど😖 *2025-09-20* しばらく遊べたけど結局スタミナ切れて補充のため課金するしかない状態に。 ### 2/5 — Great game, but pro Israel *2025-07-13* Enjoyed Robotek. However, I was deeply disappointed to come across a mission node labeled “Israel Node,” which explicitly references Mossad and IDF, and includes text implying that terrorist minds can only be simulated by triggering self-destruction. This felt jarringly political and reductive in a game that otherwise seemed purely sci-fi. The mention of real-world agencies in a scenario involving terrorism raises uncomfortable questions about intent and messaging. It seems to suggest a very one-sided, possibly Islamophobic viewpoint — and that’s not what I expect or want in a game like this. Please consider updating this content to be more neutral or abstract. I love your game, but this element makes it hard to do so. ## Frequently asked questions about Robotek ### What is Robotek about?
