STP: Last year, we reviewed a game called 6th Planet, from a new iOS developer called Monkube, and gave it our highest score. Not only did 6th Planet feature classic arcade-inspired gameplay, but it also told an interesting story through gorgeous comic-book cutscenes. Monkube and Endeavor Bros.
GameDynamo - "when the developers of Retrobot tout it as "a fusion between comic and game", they're drawing upon the strengths of both mediums. It is in this endeavor that Retrobot succeeds in creating a unique and fun experience."
Before you crucify me, I loved Wall-E just as much as you did, trust me. But you can’t have a game where you just roll around picking flowers, trying on bras, and convincing the obese to start walking again can you? Well, maybe you can, but let’s save that for the obscure Japanese developers. That’s where Retrobot comes in.
TouchGen: Retrobot is a game that purports itself as a cross between a game and a comic, but developers Endeavor Bros might be disappointed to know that I previously tried to pitch a similar idea to Duncan Bannatyne on Dragon’s Den, only to come away with a scowl, a few choice phrases which I won’t re-print here, and most importantly, no money. To this day I still don’t see what was wrong with a comic you can screw up into a ball and play cricket with. It would’ve sold millions.
