Review: From the moment I started playing ‘Attack Of The Retro Bots’ I had a nagging feeling of Déjà vu. Don’t get me wrong, I was also enjoying the game which is a robot shooter (loved the retro style robots), but then after a few levels, it hit me. I have indeed played this game before! It was called ‘Necro Mutex‘ and it was a zombie shooter. But the only difference between the two games is that one has zombies the other has robots! Talk about a cash grab! If you like your manic shooters I suppose you only have to choose if you want to kill robots or zombies, but that is all as they are even the same price! Well, I was annoyed anyway, but the game is still good I suppose and worth a play, but it gets marked down for being a clone of ‘Necro Mutex’.
