“RoboWars is a Tower Defense game in the same vein/style as 'Plants v's Zombies'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmtJMVmfcf8 It has a more futuristic theme and is surprisingly harder from the get go. You will need to be…”
“Decent tower defense game with many hour of playtime, I think. It's like PvZ, but yet it has some interesting features (expendable units and traps for example). Initial levels in the game are very easy to complete. Once…”
“Good base defence game. Like old plants vs zombies in sci-fi setting.”

“Robowars is a nice game. I like the artstyle. Here's some background story: https://www.pcgamer.com/strange-things-began-to-happenhow-a-ukrainian-indie-studio-saved-its-old-game-from-the-kiss-of-death/ 🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦…”
“Robowars concept is a lot like Plants vs Zombies, except all the towers, dialect and just … all of its content is a low budget, choppy, rip-off of the latter. There’s no story, lack of options (I.e Pause) in-game and…”

“Decent game,nothing special, not bad either. Definitely not worth the current price (12.99). If you can get it for up to $2 then buy it. Game is probably a mobile phone port from the looks of it. It is worth spending a…”
“Decent game, fun enough to spend a few hours.”

“A Dev that even dont has a website ... A game that crashes when you enter the shop, so that you have to end it via taskmanager. A Gamemechanic that was stolen by others and redone in the worst and most amateurish way…”
“This game does not support high resolutions, at 4K i need a magnifying glass to see the UI. You also get stuck on the tutorial level for some reason.”

“Not the best tower defense out there. You can find better, a lot better and a lot cheaper. If I hadn't of got the game for free, I would have never purchased it for myself. A lot of the negative reviews are correct.”

“Aspects of the game arent explained, like how you need to purchase units. And that these units will only be around for 1 battle. So you spend a few thousand to buy units and beat the level which gives you a thousand,…”

“This is a clone of Plants vs Zombies, but with some of new ideas. One of them is dividing units onto disposal and non-disposal ones, and two types of in-game currency. This game looks good, and music is quite good too. But this is only true for the first 2/3 of the game. Last…”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“Like most other reviews say, it's pretty clear the devs took Plants vs Zombies as a major inspiration for Robowars. So much that it feels more like a buggy reskin of the game instead of its own. The lanes, the resource gathering, multiple types of enemies, even the units are all…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Calling it "in the vein" of Plant vs Zombies is an understatement it's basically PvZ but with robots instead of the original aesthetic, I was quite surprised how everything is basically PvZ, the income system, the lane system, even showing the enemies in the beginning, AND even…”
