  There are things to like about the game though, and its clear that Playniac has put effort into the game as a whole based on the overall package. It just feels like the effort was misdirected, as the combat, for a game that is so focused on it, bored me to proverbial tears at points. For those who enjoy card battlers, you may find something to enjoy with Insane Robots, but if you’re looking for a little more depth, you may want to look elsewhere.

  All in all, Insane Robots’ character and map designs are cute, and the grid overworld meta keeps the downtime interesting. The wide smattering of augments are a neat way to differentiate each fight. It’s hard to ignore that the experience is marred by a trove of RNG dependencies. It feels a little too random at times, bordering less on “cool card game” and more on “Pengu1n of D00M.”

  Insane Robots is a classy and fun new spin on a tried and tested concept. It runs like a dream on the PS4, looks nice, and is entertaining both solo or in local multiplayer.

  Insane Robots is an excellent card battler that doesn’t demand too much from the player. Perhaps its greatest achievement, however, is how it manages to blend together so many simple and fun ideas to produce a compelling and diverse experience. With its abundant loading screens to the side, Insane Robots provides a vibrant and energetic journey that never loses its focus or charm.

  Aside from that, however, Insane Robots is one of the closest things to perfect I've seen in quite some time when it comes to card battlers, and I can't wait to see more from Playniac. They say the Tetris Effect happens when you start seeing Tetris blocks everywhere, but I'm starting to see Insane Robots chips and circuitry wherever I go. Does that mean I'ma addicted?

  There are several hours of pick-up-and-play action here so you should get your money's worth, and its pretty simple to master once you've got to grips with the mechanics. The lack of deck-building does let it down a little, along with the simplified combat system that gets a bit too repetitive, but if you're looking for a bit of fun from a new card-battler, it's worth checking out.
