RevieWednesday: Robocraft

Robocraft is an MMO about building vehicles (such as tanks, planes, helicopters, cars, etc.) out of sci-fi themed parts (shooting laser firing SMGs and Railguns for instance) and fighting them against others on a team. So far there are two default games. Classic and MOBA, the first one is pretty much a one way Capture the Flag, in the sense of standing on the opposing side's base until these four bars fill up which determines how much of the base is captured. The other is trying to blow up each other's bases, you also have to shoot up these four towers, since they will provide power to your base's shield which heals players and prevents long range attacks from the opposing team. The latter also haves respawning, so that's nice

POSITIVES

The games looks nice and plays great. Its addictive and uses your creativity to build stuff in an effort to kill others. Its addictive as all hell. The game is for free and the developers were nice enough to make it so your only fighting people of similar level to you. There are tons of parts to build with.

NEGATIVE

Because this is a MMO you have to deal with people who are overpowered (not talking about the boss mode), so if your early into your level (since levels are determined by how advanced your vehicle is, as opposed to earning Experience Points) expect to have your ass handed to you a couple times. Also, the wait times for some battles are tad long sometimes.

VERDICT: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

"The only MMO I can enjoy without the need to be on it all the time like all the others."
