PC Zone UK

If your machine is up to the task, then don't hesitate to snap up what is undoubtedly the best indie game we've ever had the pleasure to paw. [Feb 2007, p.86]

AceGamez

No matter what your favorite genre happens to be, RoboBlitz is a technical wonder that's a joy to play for pretty much anyone who's smart enough to purchase it.

GameZone

It’s short, but it is a delicious bit of eye candy and rather fun to play.

AtomicGamer

RoboBlitz brings action, puzzles, and physics together to make for a much better game than I was expecting, and its budget price certainly helps a lot.

PC Format

Filled with impressive engine technology and good fun to boot. Not really designed for grown-ups. [Jan 2007, p.68]

FiringSquad

With only minor flaws like somewhat poor AI and brevity, and only one major missing feature in multiplayer, it’s hard not to like this game.

IGN

Right now the two biggest things going for this game are the fifteen-dollar price tag and the new Unreal engine. Games at that price are just never this beautiful.

Games Radar

RoboBlitz may be a tad on the short side, but at around 15 bucks, the price of admission is perfect for the amount of fun you'll have with this game. Plus, the PC version comes with a level editor, which makes it even more worthwhile.

PC Gamer UK

RoboBlitz is an R2-D2 of a game: resourceful, charming, with plenty of personality, somewhat quirky, and short. Luckily, it's priced correctly, too. [Jan 2007, p.76]

Gamers Europe

RoboBlitz had the danger of being a tech demo but with a solid puzzle game behind it developer Naked Sky Entertainment has crafted a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

GameSpot

RoboBlitz may be short, but it's also one great-looking, catchy grab bag of classic 3D platform challenges.

Rob Y. gave it a6:
WAY short. It looks nice and it's fun but it only provides 2 or 3 hours of game play. Also the difficulty does not scale at all. The first 90% of the game is laid back and fun and the last 10% is very hard and tedious.

Stephane B. gave it a7:
Kinda short game, very repetitive and sometimes you don't know what to do.

Quinton R. gave it a10:
This game is awesome! It's better than a lot of games out on the shelves. You have to be crazy not to snag this one up for 15 bucks. I love attaching baddies to the wall or each other. Can't wait till a multiplayer comes out.

Kyle A. gave it a10:
This is a great game. I could spend hours playing it. Such a good value too.

William G. gave it a9:
Impressive use of physics engine resulting in a more "real" feel to movement and interactions with environment. Good puzzle set ups requiring analysis and thoguht.

Jeff L. gave it a10:
Pretty amazing. The first game that I've seen that's completely physics based, so that you can actually do anything you want in it - I saw this firsthand, and was blown away- pretty amazing that it's all done on the fly. Check it out!

BJ C. gave it a10:
Awesome game, comes with really great editing tools, well worth the money!
