When I saw this game on youtube I KNEW I had to buy it. Giant clunky robots with sweet music? Sounds good. Unluckily, I got disappointed with my experience. I defeated the game in 2 hours and 30 minutes, probably could've finished it in less if I died less times. After a few matches, got the hang of it and then got a winning streak up to the final """""boss"""""

I got a few points that could improve the game, or at least, work out in the sequel or next games.
- More upgrades, if you want to make a rougue lite with randomized encounters, you need variety. I legit encountered maybe 3 variants of bots, and defeated all of them with the mine tactic.

-More customization: Every mecha fan wants to pimp their robot and this game dosen't really let you do so.
- BOSSES BOSSES BOSSES PLEASE, You can't make a bigger model with a few differences and call it a boss. I'm ok with randomized enemies, but for bosses a bit more effort would've gone a long way.
-MUSIC: This is more than a nitpick of mine but the pauses in the middle of the soundtrack where there's no beat were more annoying than anything, just when you're about to get the hang of it, you have to interrupt the thing cause the music felt like it. Just annoying to deal with.
-LONGER GAME: more tournaments, modes, story, ANYTHING to make it last MORE than 2 hours.

Can't really recommend this game for 15$ since there are literally other games with the same prices that gave me ten times the amount of fun with ten times the lenght that kept me playing them. Still, a good idea, but not worth. I'll keep an eye on updates

This game is rad. In an ideal world I'd love to see it expanded with 4x the parts, opponents, punch-cards and etc. But for $15 this is an absolute steal for the amount of stuff you get, the music is FANTASTIC, and the gameplay is suitably crunchy.

If I have a complaint, it'd be that some of the songs cut the input windows at strange times, and as an old drummer, that screws me up like nothing else. Difficulty could be higher, and we could use more things to blow money on, match betting, etc. Also, the Beat Drone ability needs a pretty solid nerf, but these things will happen in time, and none of them detract from the overall experience.

Basically, it's a super solid experience, please give it a shot if you like Monster Rancher style and/or rhythm games. Or just want to quote Rocky while punching the Russian bot's pants off.
