AppBite: It’s not a classic shooter and it’s not a comic book. It has a little bit of both, but put together in a way that will appeal comic-book fans and gamers alike. Retrobot is at its core a tank shooter game set in an era where robots have taken over the world and humanity is in peril. The theme might sound familiar, but the game itself is sprinkled with comic book scenes and centered around our hero and a pet monkey.
Nineoverten.com has put up a review of Endeavor Bros' latest iPhone title, Retrobot. This tank shooter stars a robot protagonist which is a cross betweem Wall-E and the robot from the movie Short Circuit, Johnny 5.
STP: A tarnished gem of a game, with great story and character and a few frustrating technical detractions.
AppAdvice: Retrobot ($0.99) by Endeavor Bros Interactive Software and Monkube is a shoot ‘em up comic style adventure game that comes equipped with addictive tank shooter gameplay and challenging boss battles.
Most shooters don’t have much in the way of plot, but Retrobot has a comedic storyline that incorporates plenty of jokes that will appeal to serious game players. So what’s the game all about?
