Ahead of Kiborg's release on PC and console, Rogueliker put the prison-based action-roguelite beat 'em up hybrid through its paces.
TSA writes: Kiborg is an old-school third person action brawler, a game ripped straight out of a bygone console era, but is it a good roguelite?
CG writes: KIBORG throws you into a brutal, cybernetic battleground where survival depends on how well you can punch, dodge, and outmaneuver your enemies. Right from the start, the game makes it easy to get into. There’s no overwhelming complexity—just smooth, fast-paced combat that immediately clicks. The fighting mechanics take clear inspiration from Batman’s Arkham series and Spider-Man’s fluid brawling, which means you’re dodging, countering, and unleashing satisfying combo attacks against waves of cyberpunk-styled enemies.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I think this is the best way to sum up KIBORG: a neat premise that just ended up feeling like a mixed bag. For every admittedly interesting aspect, such as its visuals, ultraviolence and combat, there’s something else that brings it down a handful of notches, such as the awful voice acting, difficulty spikes, and bugs. With that being said, considering how flooded and overly saturated the roguelike/lite market is nowadays, KIBORG does manage to stand out, even if by just a little bit. It’s not terrible, it’s also far from being amazing, but it’s certainly not entirely fogettable."
