Robot Squad Simulator is an adventure game that makes controlling robots fun if you have some patience. With an interface that could do well by providing more helpful feedback and less frustrating controls, it's hard to overwhelmingly recommend this title. Unfortunately when all is said and done "these aren't the droids you're looking for".

Critic reviews
- 3.1Robot Squad Simulation X isn’t a great game but still playable to a degree. Unfortunately riddled with bad mechanics and average design, this title will see you getting more frustrated than having any real enjoyment. A great idea, just poorly executed.
- While the whole aspect of this game doesn’t sound bad at all, the game could have done a lot better. The robot controls are awful and the instructions in the training missions could be better for new players. The overworld also looks bad with textures that look very dated. Combine all this with a lot of bugs, like getting stuck by bumping into something or even a small difference in the ground’s level this makes this game hard to enjoy. The game also feels very uninspiring as you’ll be tasked to push some buttons or pick something up and drop it off somewhere else with no obstacle.
- Robot Squad Simulator has some potential, but it feels a bit flat for a release which goes for about $15. It is interesting to pilot some ROVs, and it touches the whole hero-of-the-day theme, but there are some real issues that prevent fun gameplay. You can upgrade your bots a bit and there is the whole get-better-and-progress-through-levels thing, but it needs some refinement before I'd recommend it.
- 2.0In conclusion, Robot Squad Simulator X on Xbox One is not a game I can recommend to anyone. It seems a shame that a potentially good idea, with genuinely tense gameplay to be recreated, has been squandered like this. The driving of the robots is awful, the arm mechanics really suck, and the rest of the game is simply shoddy and badly designed. Even the menus are ropy, and other than with the variety in mission type I’m struggling to find anything good to say about this game. It is a great idea wasted.
- Robot Squad Simulator succeeds in temporarily making you feel like a bomb disposal expert one moment, only for the next moment to be more akin to crashing a cheap remote-control car.
