Ratings and reviews

So, the tutorial is good, when creating a new ai, there is no "range", therefore you cant create your own ai. That was pretty disappointing and the game doesn't have a menu tutorial, which is also disappointing. Pretty much you can only use tutorial ai, so... pretty trash mechanics and game although the idea of it is interesting, just not this game in the least. Wouldn't recommend

Gladiabots has, without a doubt, the best tutorial I've ever seen in any programming game or strategy game. It leaves room for you to make mistakes and learn from them in a very natural way rather than forcing you to click on the exact spot it wants like too many titles. And as a programmer, it has a very natural flow and intuitive UI that even someone who has never played before would be able to pick it up. If you like puzzles and strategy, you should definitely pick this up.

Summary of the game: Program the AI for a team of robots that compete in a real-time strategy contest! If you like games that involve winning by programming a robot, I would say that this is one of the better games in that genre! The game features multiplayer rounds, a campaign mode, and a sandbox mode (for testing your AIs)! Select a personalized skin for your robot team! Have fun scripting an AI! The programming language provides many higher-level operations e.g. "If enemy is attacking then flee from enemy while in range." At the same time, the developers made the language is rich enough to let anyone get sophisticated if they desire.
