"For some, an attachment to open mechanics may overrule interest in experiences sustained by highly defined terms. I often consider myself to be in that crowd. It's very rewarding to break from set parameters and explore indistinct ways of reaching solutions, even while the methods used for accomplishing such may not be overly unique. For that reason, Teyon's Robot Rescue series has been something of a small hit with me, entering its third installment with Robot Rescue 3D. Though having transitioned to a platform with higher performance capabilities, glamour is still completely alien to it. But its fairly steady rate of clever puzzle designs makes up for that." -- Wiiloveit.com
Melissa Welliver reviews Robot Rescue 3D for Gamer Attitude: Robot Rescue: 3D is a remastered and repackaged version of the first two Robot Rescue games, with 20 new levels stuck on the end under the rather confusing title ‘Robot Rescue 3D’. A fun little puzzler with inventive gameplay and improved graphics, Robot Rescue: 3D is a great game for new and old puzzlers alike – but returning fans may find that there is too much repetitiveness to really warrant shelling out another £2.69.
Pure Nintendo: "On the whole, if you are a fan of strategic puzzlers, Robot Rescue 3D will likely offer you a fun play through. At only $2.99 there’s little reason not to download it. If you missed it last summer, give it a look now. Robot Rescue 3D is a solid title that will find an audience on the 3DS eShop, just like it’s predecessors did on DSiWare."
The Nintendo 3DS eShop is no stranger to puzzle games. Robot Rescue 3D is the latest inductee to the puzzle library. This is actually the third game in the series, with the previous two games being released on the DSiWare service years ago. Now the series finally joins the 3DS family. Will Robot Rescue 3D join the ranks of the good ones?
