About
Bot Colony Redux is a complete replacement of the original Bot Colony, with additional functionality in the form of the Garage and Riot episodes, a Mission 2 in Intruder , more content in Arrival, and conversational gameplay that actually works well (and better Speech-to-text, and emotive voices). It is also playable in 15 languages, while Bot Colony was only available in English. If you wishlisted Bot Colony, you may want to wishlist Bot Colony _Redux.
Bot Colony ( was unique in 2014 (and still is in 2026) by being the ONLY game on the planet relying on AI-based conversation as the main game mechanic, including references to the 3d scene and commanding characters to manipulate scene objects. You use your own words in order to advance in the game. Bot Colony will appeal to players interested in genre-defining games with novel mechanics.

You'll get to experience Artificial Intelligence that is currently in the realm of cinematic fantasy in Her, Ex Machina, iRobot, Blade Runner, 2001 A Space Odyssey. It's a challenging and entertaining experience that will make you realize how literally machines process language, and how much we take for granted when we speak with people.
Type of speak freely and discover the story using your own words. The answers spoken by the robots is generated dynamically. Contrast with typical game storytelling, where canned voice acting is controlled by dialog trees.
Experience the eerie atmosphere of a South Pacific island featuring ultra modern architecture and robots amid a lush jungle setting. The techno-romantic mood is enhanced by the original music soundtrack of the game.
Play detective and piece together the events that took place in a house in a 48 hour period by exploring the robot's video observations.
Work with the robots to scuttle violent sabotage attempts by robot-hating organizations.
Game sessions are unique to each player: What you say controls how robots react and what they answer. Sessions of other players will have different dialog than your session. Every session is unique.
Make the game your own: Teach robots new knowledge and new commands.
Speak or type. The Microsoft Cognitive speech-to-text does an amazing job understanding what you say, irrespective of your accent. When speech-to-text makes mistakes, you can easily correct them. You can combine playing through speech or text according to your preference.
Inspired by Bot Colony sci-fi novel, a near future industrial espionage thriller by Eugene Joseph. The novel ( available on Amazon Kindle) explores the verbal abilities of future robots and introduces the 5th law of robotics 'do as people do'.

A good Concept but far too litte to actually do in the game, feels more like a few demo's than a game. If it interests you get it on sale but its not worth full price yet.
After paying 14.99 all i have to say is. LET ME PLAY IT OFFLINE...... ....... ....... ...... the game itself it aight!.....playable. modable!/..........LET ME PLAY IT OFFLINE.........i pay u
The game has unique concept and mechanics, though some robots seem to be stubborn or plain stupid, it varies from fun to frustrating to try to communitcate with them properly. Team put a great effort and a lot of time in this game, so it's definitely worth a try, especially for its price. Keep in mind that game requires some intermediate English knowledge.

Bot colony é um jogo onde o controle é feito pela sua voz e teclado. No jogo você deve conversa(Controla) Uma inteligencia artificial para completar seus objetivos,A inteligencia artificial tem um pouco de humor(Falei que amava ele e ele falo que me amava <3). O jogo tem um grafico muito bonito e atraente,Suas animações são as mais Lindas que eu ja vi em um jogo com acesso antecipado na steam em toda minha vida. O cenario é totalmente manipulavel(todos os objetos são interativos com o robo),Da para pedir para a IA tocar musica no violão e tam bem abri a porta da geladeira pra deixar a comida aprodecer xD. Pros: Cenario totalmente manipulavel; Grafico bonito; Animações bonitas; Facil de jogar; Audio limpo; Baixo tempo de carregamento; Todos os mapas tem bastante vida e elementos fazendo parece que realmente foi feito baseado em um lugar que existe na vida real; Comandos bem simples,VocÊ tem que mandar o robo fazer uma coisa de cada vez e isso pode causar bugs problematicos ao decorrer do jogo; Podemos controlar a IA e nosso personagem quando quisermos. Contras: Você aperta para inicar um novo jogo e não pode retorna para o menu,Sendo obrigatorio começar outro jogo; Movimentação do nosso personagem bastante lerda,Fazendo parece que estamos com baixo fps no jogo mesmo não tendo; Se dermos muitos comandos para a IA ela pode fica travada em qualquer local,Você da comandos e ela responde aos comandos mas não se movimenta; As vezes o jogo da um drop frame; Tentei utilizar o chat de voz para me comunicar com o robo sem precisar utilizar mensagens e não foi possivel pois não conseguia me desmultar(pode ser um problema que ocorreu só comigo); E com isso termino minha analise,Qualquer duvida podem entra em contato comigo que irei responder todas as perguntas o mais rapido possivel. RECOMENDO COMPRAREM O JOGO,Alem de ser um bom jogo e inovador o criador do jogo realmente quer que esse jogo tenha uma continuação,Vamos fazer ele sair do acesso antecipado e vamos fazer ele virar o melhor jogo com esse estilo de comunicação com IA :D
I bought Bot Colony a few years ago and I don't regret it even though the game is still in early access and probably will be for some time. This game is something completely different and unique. The developers of this game have succeeded in bringing to the market some completely new game mechanics that other companies are just dreaming about. They have come up with their own new AI mechanics for this game and made them part of the gameplay. I would recommend this game for people who: - Like games with new and unique approaches, new experiences - Like games/genres with a bit slower gameplay (compared to fast paced action games) - Like to support a small company that works hard to start a completely new kind of genre of video games that will bring the whole industry forward - Are interested in AI, robotics, technology or scifi - Are interested/prepared to play around a bit with robots and learn to communicate with them (Isn't really hard but not recommended for the most inpatient players or those that expect perfect AI that will be able to communicate with you like another human, the technology isn't really at that stage yet) - Are interested in playing a game with a lot to offer but that is still a work in progress and rough around the edges in some parts The game is amazing as it is but would be even more great if the devs find a new publisher who will see the real potential of this game/genre and the ambition and skills of these developers so we would be able to enjoy even more of their work in the future! There is no limit to the potential this genre and game series has with the right amount of work and money, I believe the technologies in the game will continue getting better and better with time. I believe this game is ahead of it's time in many ways, in the future there will probably be more games that attempt to add similar mechanics to their games. Right now this is the best you can find and a game worth playing if you are interested in AI or games that offer new and unique experiences.
When's the last time you played a game involving hiding your involvement in the scene of a crime by remote-control verbal communication with a robot who operates in a real 3D space? In a gaming world where we've stopped complaining about clones and accepted them as the norm, novel gameplay is as rare as hens' teeth. In this way, Bot Colony is well worth your time, attention, and support. That alone deserves my thumbs up. That said, though it has been getting worked on for quite some time, it looks a bit dated, and the actual gameplay in Bot Colony is really klunky. It could be worse, but the things it does well are the things most players are not going to notice, and the things it does poorly are showstoppers. If you have ever played an old school text adventure, you might understand the frustration of trying to wrap your head around the developer's means of communication. How do you tell a robot to place a shaker of salt exactly how it looks like in a picture? I have no idea, the AI is smart enough to put it on the table to the left of a coffee maker and that's no minor achievement in programming, but I can't figure out how to tell it to put it down exactly where it needs to be. I guess that kind of difficulty makes sense when you add 3D space to a text adventure. Anyway, I have not been able to get past the tutorial. One thing they keep trying to add to Bot Colony is voice recognition, but I have yet to see it working particularly well. Basically, they're thinking it would be really cool if they have an AI you can talk to with your voice and that AI can do things for you, and they've been spending a lot of development time on getting that to work. As a player, I would have preferred they fix the gameplay problems first, but I guess they develop other products that make use of voice recognition so that's their agenda. Fortunately, you can also type your commands. As for the long development time, behind the scenes there have been some major financial issues, and this has slowed progress on the game quite a bit, to the point where it's fair for a player to wonder who is left to work on it? Lately, the game seems to somehow be making progress, so that's encouraging. I hope these guys continue to put out novel game concepts.
It's an interesting investigation game. You interact with robots by speaking or writing. The robots react to your inputs depending on the information they have or their perception of things, so they don't always react exactly as expected. There are several situations you have to solve in this way. Sometimes within a time limit. Graphics are OK but I'm not a graphics guy so don't take my word on it. Sound is also OK, but it's not so important for the gameplay. The interesting part (and why I really love this game) is the interaction itself. This game shows you clearly, and beyond any doubt, that what you think is evident might not be so evident to other person. Many people should play this game in order to improve the way they treat others at their workplace or at home. The only downside I see at the moment is the voice recognition. When I played this game in Windows 7 it was hit or miss. Sometimes it worked like charm, other times I wanted to kick the screen. I have not tried Windows 10. An interesting game from my point of view, even though I understand it's not for everyone.
