The verdict
A quirky robot-building arena shooter with deep customization, but the servers are shut down and it can't be played. Skip it unless you only want nostalgia.
Great for
Nostalgic fans of robot-building shooters (though nobody can currently play it)
Main risk
Servers are offline indefinitely, so the game cannot be played at all
What players love
Nostalgic, enjoyed while it lasted
