![]() Occasionally stutters, even on lowest graphical quality.Can feel somewhat limited in replayability if you’re not a Twitch streamer. ![]() Twitch mode/Endless mode for some replayability.This is in spite of the fact that I’m running in windowed mode on the lowest graphical settings! Also, I personally found that the game at times would stutter for a fraction of a second, and these stutters, while being short and not really impacting gameplay most of the time, are very noticeable. (There’s a level editor with in-built Steam Workshop integration which can expand that somewhat, but if you take that out…) I feel you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this game only if you are a Twitch streamer with an audience to make your life more difficult. Combined, the unfinished story mode, challenges mode, and endless mode can make this game feel somewhat limited in replayability. There are currently only 5 achievements in the game, and they are all tied to the challenge modes, where you can unlock some upgrade options for beating each one. The (voiced, which is a nice touch) robot commentators throughout are incredibly sarcastic, yet humourous – they want to see your own robot get destroyed and give quips that are at times side-splitting, and at times informative – especially the ones where you get an idea of what awaits you in the next level. The upgrade section, I forgot to say, is accessible after each level, and you get a solitary point to either spend towards upgrading your robot or buying a clone (extra life). You are allowed to tweak the Twitch settings to your liking, for example if you want to give your viewers more coins, or more freedom to spawn enemies in.Īlthough the soundtrack is incredibly sparse at this moment (I only counted one main arena song and one song in the upgrade section), it’s adequate for the mood and setting. Viewers can bet on your killer using the game’s currency, bet on which tier you die in, and even spawn in additional robots for greater difficulty. Endless basically has you playing randomly selected levels, ascending the difficulty tiers the more levels you complete, while Twitch mode is the same, but with…you guessed it, Twitch integration. Most of your playtime will likely be in the latter 3 modes. As of this build, story only consists of 20 levels, so not much on that front. There are about 4 main modes – Story, Endless, Twitch, and Challenges. The combat is a real joy to behold – it feels very visceral (despite there being a lack of blood/gore and the graphical style being completely voxel-based). These robots come in various strengths, with some being more skilful and harder to kill. The game pits you against a wide variety of enemies, from other sword robots, to bow-wielding robots, to hammer robots, and others. You play with a third-person point of view so you can better observe your surroundings and your enemies. The first Steam-launched game by Doborog Games (another mouthful! Basically a spoonerism of Robo dog – their company logo), gameplay is exactly as described above. This is the premise of Clone Drone in the Danger Zone (henceforth shortened to CDitDZ – goddamn, what a mouthful). Now imagine further that the human mind has been removed from their body, and then implanted into a robot, built to fight with laser swords against other robots…wait what? “Long live machine, the future supreme // Man overthrown, spit out the bone” I think James Hetfield of Metallica has that part covered: Picture a dystopian future where the machines that humans have built have finally gone sentient and enslaved humanity. This review was done based on version 0.8.1.8 of the game and is hence a reflection of the game’s state at that time.

To add to your selection of limb chopping weapons, you can also upgrade your arsenal in a massive variety of ways. Is Spider-tron 6000 looking down at you from its great height? Chop off its legs and see eye to eye! Hammer Bots swinging hammers at you? Chop off their arms! As you decimate the opponents in the Arena, you’ll see robot parts flying everywhere, but if swords just aren’t your thing and you’ve a taste for the finer weapons in robot life, check out a selection of Bows, Spears and Hammers too! Variety is the spice of mechanical life after all. ![]() Now it’s all great having a laser sword but what do you do with a laser sword, well the answer is slice! Clone Drone In The Danger Zone is all built with voxels, meaning you can precisely slice exactly where you want, and that exact part will fall off of your now wobbly-cut enemy. ![]()
