Mar 7, 201140MicroBot is ultimately a game with a somewhat fresh idea executed poorly. I quickly grew tired exploring the different areas of the body, and sadly the repetitive shooting offers no variation or real challenge throughout the game.
-
Mar 4, 201145The atmospheric presentation of Microbot is top-notch for a downloadable title. But for a game that promises to be an action shooter, the severe lack of action throughout a significant portion of the title makes this one game that should be left to flat line on the operating table.
-
Feb 25, 201170MicroBot does not do anything revolutionary within the twin-stick shooter genre, but manages to inject some creativity into an otherwise standard class of games.
-
Feb 3, 201160MicroBot's ambition seems constantly undercut by time or money constraints, leaving it a well-intended but very average game.
-
Feb 2, 201160Microbot's interesting premise, setting, and mechanics are undermined by several issues that cause the game to be more of a tedious chore than an enjoyable experience.
-
Feb 2, 201142MicroBot is a frustrating experience of unrelenting enemies that function more as a burden than a challenging gameplay element.
-
Jan 29, 201170Even with a few muscle knots, MicroBot is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure through the human body for any gamer with an ounce of patience.
-
Jan 28, 201150Rummaging around inside another human being should be more exciting than this.
-
Jan 23, 201160Microbot really dazzles the player with its beautiful backgrounds and unique setting, but it doesn't stop it from making it a tedious expedition half way through the game.
-
Jan 21, 201175For those after a fresh twist on a near-expired genre, MicroBot offers enough action to get your heart pumping.
-
Jan 21, 201165Microbot is hard to recommend even to those who live for shmups and twin-stick shooters. It's an also-ran, a game that had the potential to be something special but in the end is just a really good-looking but thoroughly frustrating and mediocre game.
-
Jan 17, 201175There are so many great visuals, interesting gameplay moments, and little strokes of genius. It epitomizes how small games can be big experiences.
-
Jan 13, 201160The quality of MicroBot's concept is unquestionable, but the same goes for its various balance issues. The game is cool, the fluid physics work just as they should, but the lack of rhythm between the fights and the exploration is a big problem, just like the lack of an online multiplayer.
-
Jan 10, 201140Innerspace meets Smash T.V., except retaining only the worst elements of both in this slow-paced and tedious dual-stick shooter.
-
Jan 10, 201150It's hard to recommend that someone drop ten bucks into a prettier version of a game you might play better on a site like Kongregate or Newgrounds, but there really isn't anything god awful about MicroBot, just nothing at all very good.
-
Jan 10, 201174MicroBot's baseline gameplay isn't revolutionary, but for an arcade shooter, it's not bad. Might be worth a trip just for the aesthetics, depending on how much like the genre.
-
Jan 8, 201165MicroBot is an average twin-stick shooter complete with a mixed bag of problems and enjoyable features.
-
Jan 7, 201140MicroBot is a technically accomplished but sterile experience. As the game settles into a rut, its stylistic strengths lose more and more ground to the sluggish combat, uninspiring upgrades and repetitive stages.
-
Jan 7, 201180This is yet another quality downloadable shooter that deserves both your money and your love.
-
Jan 6, 201160A few neat elements help keep this tepid dual-stick shooter afloat.
-
Jan 4, 201166If you can play with a friend and/or look past a lot of the issues, MicroBot might be worth a try. For everyone else, there are far too many problems that hamper the experience and prevent it from being the game the developers were hoping to achieve.
-
Jan 4, 201155The frustrating enemies and cumbersome upgrade system will wear on your nerves, and the bland level design will not give you much reason to push forward. There are much better shooters currently available, which is a shame given this one's promise of ingenuity.
-
Jan 2, 201150MicroBot had potential to be an inspiring and intellectual shooter. Instead, it relegates itself to falling into becoming a substandard shooter that couldn't deliver on its promises outside of wonderful looking environments.
