Of course, if you do find a level to be too challenging, you can always jump online with some fellow rednecks and have a blast cooperatively. If you're looking for a fun little shooter that is not only enjoyable alone but also with some friends, you really need to check out Shoot Many Robots.
Overall Shoot Many Robots is a game that takes an existing genre and builds on it, without ever trying to reinvent the wheel. It does what it does and it does it rather well. It isn't the best shoot-em-up you'll play, but it is one you'll get plenty of enjoyment from.

While this game doesn't have the same addictive factor as games such as Dungeon Defenders or Torchlight Solo play gets a bit stale quickly though. Nevertheless it's still a worthy addition for a few hours of mindless fun provided you sit through it with friends. Add Funatikz on PSN for trophy boosting on PS3 :D

It's easy for many to dismiss Shoot Many Robots due to its repetitive nature, but seriously, what modern day shooter isn't repetitive? Those that stick with it and delve a little deeper will find a diamond in the rough offering hours upon hours of shootery fun.
An intensive action game with amazing customization options and a funny cooperative mode.
These issues with pacing and balancing are compensated by the manic euphoria of the action, so if you have three reliable friends with a penchant for manic gunplay and surreal RPGs then Shoot Many Robots can be an enjoyably unpretentious distraction. Those who prefer to play solo should steer well clear, however.
The title says it all: you do shoot many robots in Shoot Many Robots. There's still some subtleties in the game's gameplay, but they fail to dim the overall repetitiveness of the ride.
Shoot Many Robots seemed like a sure thing, and its extensive and amusingly described weapon and gear options - which directly affect stats - are a standout feature; really, they're the only one that feels fully developed here. Nearly everything else around it is as unremarkable as a pile of bolts.
As soon as you start the game and reach the main menu you are greeted by what I can only describe as the funkiest country/blues riff I have heard for a while. Personally for me this is a very good start and admittedly I probably spent far too long sat there listening to it. Anyway, enough with the menus, lets talk gameplay! I started the main single player game and was immediately thrown into the shoes of our alcoholic, robot killing, redneck protagonist, brilliant named P. Walter Tugnut (which is so much fun to say!). You then have the mandatory tutorial to work through, this I understand but unfortunately in an attempt to make the game accessible to all level of gamers this came off as borderline insulting with how easy it was, thankfully it doesn’t last for long and as soon as you finish you are immediately thrown straight into the fray big time. You are left to put your newly learnt skills to the test when waves of robots start coming for you; it’s definitely a nice little taste of what’s to come and it really does make it clear as to why the game is called what it is…
Shoot Many Robots 03With the corpses of what feels like a thousand robots in your wake you are then introduced to the main hub of the game, your home between levels, your R.V. (or Roving Robot Murder Machine as the game calls it). This consists of two menus to go between; The toilet, this is where you can update and buy weapons and clothing to kill things in more flamboyant (and fabulous) fashion, and the main map, this is where you can choose to either move to the next level or revisit previous ones, the map is broken down into 3 different areas which reflect the difficulties. You start in “Robot Country” which is the normal difficulty, “Mega Chatarra” is the hard and “Mt.Rossum” is the insane difficulty. You unlock stars at the end of every level and you need to earn a certain amount of stars to unlock new levels so obviously you’re stuck in Robot Country for a while (Plus the first level is called “Happy Nut Road” which honestly just makes me smile!)

Shoot Many Robots is a side scrolling shoot-em-up that is quite fun to play with friends despite not doing anything particularly new. Waves of enemies (in this case, as the title suggests, various types or robots) are thrown at the player as they travel from left to right. Although the levels themselves lack any real sort of variety there is a decent selection of enemy types, many of which require different tactics to defeat, making for a fast paced game that requires a little more than just pointing a weapon and holding the fire button.
On the completion of each mission the player is awarded nuts and bolts which can be spent to upgrade weapons and equipment and there is certainly a far selection to choose from. Unfortunately it is here that the game lets itself down slightly as, in order to purchase items powerful enough for the more difficult missions, you either need constantly replay missions and level grind or spend real money. Although it is not essential to do so the game is certainly designed in order to push people into spending their money (something I completely refuse to do!) and as a result I did eventually give up before completing it.
At its cheap price Shoot Many Robots is worth giving a go if you have a few like minded mates to play with, just don't expect to be playing it for much more than few weeks.

Most likely the worst game of all time. A very boring game, with absoulely no replay value. AMY the game is better then this turd. IGN is 100% right with there review. THis is NOT NOT NOT worth 9.99!
