## What is Trouble With Robots?

Richard Garfield, Game Designer (Magic: The Gathering, King Of Tokyo) says, "It is terrific to be able to play Trouble With Robots again - it is overdue for iOS. It surprised me that it still feels unlike anything else I have played, I would have expected some other game developers to use this obviously good game formula to make a bunch of exciting new games. I hope that it gets the success and attention it deserves - and inspires the new games which >I< deserve!"

Shaun Musgrave, Toucharcade.com says, "I enjoyed it just on its cheeky attitude alone, with the surprising depth of the gameplay at higher levels proving to be the icing on the cake. If you give it a try, it will probably win you over the same way."

### 5/5 — Played when I was younger

*2025-04-30, version 1.2.28*

I got this game quite a while ago and played it on car rides and during other young kid things grandmas house you name it I got bord a few days ago found this again playing it again love it ik last ratings and latest updates where like 9-10 years ago but still realy good game

### 5/5 — peak

*2024-08-30, version 1.2.28*

PEAK 🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2023-08-08, version 1.2.28*

Everything is perfect no purchases top notch humor great story and variety of cards in effects for all kinds of decks and combos

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2023-02-04, version 1.2.28*

I never write reviews, but this game is phenomenal. A must play for any mobile gamer.

### 4/5 — Cute game.

*2021-02-25, version 1.2.28*

Game is hilarious and fun. Simple concept human army versus robots. Play a couple random cards from your “deck” each wave. Totally free no commercials! Probably deserves 5 stars for being free without commercials but I’m not totally salivating to play the game.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-01-08, version 1.2.28*

The game is great, it deserves 5* and I’ve given it 5*

I love that the bots go into self preservation and disengage when on low health. However I don’t like even when they outnumber the opposition 2-1 or even 3-1 fast units like centaurs don’t go through and engage the ranged element.

 If you outnumber surely you’ll go 1-1 and the rest take out the shooters. Instead they all engage the close combat units and get cut to shreds by the ranged. Logically you just wouldn’t do that. That said it’s still awesome and I love it

### 5/5 — Best free game since a long time

*2020-08-07, version 1.2.28*

Have see a free game without ads or in-game payment blocking your advancement.  Is great, free, funny and i recommend it !

### 5/5 — Fun, strategic and tactical, and surprisingly non p2w

*2018-05-23, version 1.2.28*

This is a neat little game with lots of strategy and tactics. Don’t expect the protracted playing length of many pay2win games, but it’s not pay2win at all so that’s more than fine. Well worth the download and keep pushing past the first few levels to discover the tactical side of things.

### 5/5 — fun game

*2018-01-25, version 1.2.28*

Very addicting and fun game! Just spent like my whole day playing this game. Just amazing.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2016-11-10, version 1.2.28*

One of the best.
