Rigonauts

As with a lot of things i've played over the years, what a waste of a good idea. Build your own battle bot kind of games like this seem to be a lot of fun until you find out how limited, frustrating, or poorly they realized the ideal. This one highlights the lack of multiplayer as soon as you get bored with the puzzle aspect. I have nothing in general against puzzle games, but i hate to see great ideas like this being relegated to -just- another puzzle game. Buy it on a good sale if you really want it, otherwise don't bother.

Rigonauts is the fantastical building battle game from Engient. Snap together the ultimate vessel and send your crew of Hobs into battle. With a well designed ship and a clever plan, your crew will smash and blast past an assortment of strange and dangerous foes. Of course no single plan survives the enemy and each tactical tweak will bring you closer to victory.

The game that I played just so that I can actually tease the people to have played a digitally unavailable game from steam . Yeah, you can't buy this game anymore . Only for those who did grab it at sometime when it was available for purchase. So i hope you all got teased :D Feels quite elated to own the game other potential wanna be buyers cab't own it any longer. As for the Rigonauts, Rigonauts are people who eat nothing but raw meat. I've never tried it but I hear it's pretty good.

Became repetitive quickly.

Mildly entertaining puzzle game. The tiny bit of novelty in making your own designs wears off early and is quickly replaced with a sense of agonizing boredom as you rebuild your ship from the same base over and over and over for every level. Enemy AI seems target at a random. This is a good game in small doses, maybe 20 - 25 minutes at a time. Wait for a sale though, $9.99 is too much for what you get here. If you see it for 75% off, go for it.

The idea is good, but the game gets borign fast. You build your vehicle with the intent of destroying the ai controlled rig. You pick parts/build it, and set it to battle...thats all. You can not control the unit afterweards...just sit and wait to see if it won or not, if it did you go to the next round vs another "harder" AI oponent...it gets tiresome quite quickly...I would say its a pass unless its on sale for less than a buck.

Interesting. but kind of meh. And slow.
