After the last couple of games have left me depressed and losing hope in zombie games all together, I decided to break away from anything zombie related and see what else would catch my attention. I ran across this title Mutant robot which in to me was so contradicting in the title alone that i had to see where they were going with this one. Oh and if you're lost about the contradicting part i was referring to the fact that a mutant by definition is something living that has a mutation, for example a mutation in one of our genes causing an abnormality. Which would be impossible for a robot since they are not a living thing.... for now. Anyways back to the subject at hand. At first glance this game looks like there was a good amount of time and effort that was invested into the graphics and detail. From the character design to the background and animations for movement. The controls are your typical shooter. On screen analog stick on the left side for movement and on the right side for aiming and firing. The sounds were basic and nothing to out of the grid of average. After playing for a while i must say that the game to me was pretty boring. The robot enemies were easy to come across and did not pose to much of a threat. I'm not to sure but if i were to bet on it i keep running across games that were meant to entertain children in elementary.
Although there was a good job and effort in the graphics the design of the level could have used a little more time. I was stuck in rooms for a minute before i could figure out the giant tire was a door way. Possibly a mini map in a corner would have helped lead the way. For example when you get stuck in a room after killing all the enemies you tend to get bored and lose interest quickly. Which sad to say is what happened here. There was no direction to let me know where to go next so i basically just wondered around finding a simple enemy to kill every now and then until i became so bored of the game that i stopped right where i was at. So in conclusion great job on the graphics but the game play design, and creativity could use some work on the next go around. We need to create a bit of a challenge to your player to keep them interested. So my personal opinion is i would pass. After this being the third game in a row that has been a disappointment i'm going to set out to find an epic game in my next review to get me back on track and knock out the bad juju these recent games have brought me.
