I fucking hate what this company did to this game. Over the course of 7 years they turned what was a fucking amazing bot builder/battle game and turned it into a creative minecraft show and tell. Every fucking update they did made things worse, it's like they took every 4 year olds steam review and just threw it at the wall with each patch. Then instead of fixing the game they destroyed they tried making Robocraft 2 which was literally just a copy paste of robocraft only they added bigger components with different physics. Then they fucked that up and promised to fix it and then they just died.

>dev kills it with terrible updates
this was true from week 1.
the meta was fucked and you had to pay a subscription to squad up with more than 1 person.

>On January 20, 2025, Freejam Games announced that they would be shutting down the servers for Robocraft and Robocraft 2 due to the studio's closure.

These people are actually so fucking dumb.
They had no clue how to design and balance their game.
They had no idea how to monetize it.
They sucked at both.

Like, they were a small company, and they were finally getting their teeth into what's effectively the World of Tanks and War Thunder market, vehicular arena combat. But they fuck it up.

Flying mortars were a bit OP if we're gonna be honest.

This game might have been impossible to balance, every new bit of gear would break the game, especially since certain advanced building techniques would make the vehicles even more lethal.

I feel like it needs a second post, this was literally the last game me and my friend actively played together that wasn't DRG and he loved it too. They literally had the perfect set up, they had people paying for cosmetic blocks with monthly/yearly subscriptions and a community built around the original idea. Then they started fucking with armor/structure mechanics. The final straw was the retarded health system that made it completely pointless to actually "engineer" your bots structure and armor because the new meta was to just stack a shit ton of blocks together as a health pool and make room for flak cannon and other cope mechanisms they added later in the game. God it still makes me so fucking mad, all just to casualize it and make more children pay for colored blocks.

When I think of Robocraft I think of that time I tried to play a sniper and I got matched against a party of players playing fast floating armored drones with small hitboxes armed with shotguns and melee weapons

>>716035518
Well fuck, what other games like this exist? I need to build dick cars and dick tanks

>tfw no one plays Machinecraft, a Japanese successor game based on it
>nips just use it to play dollhouse instead of fighting
nyo...

>>716035638
Machinecraft but nips (temp)ban that stuff
Procelio
some other games on /egg/ maybe
Terratech

>>716035331
from what i recall it was really just the drone shit that was OP, since it basically was good at everything

>>716035639
This is the only other game like it and trying to comprehend the mechanics of building is too much of a chore.

I need this but with better combat.

I used to play this all the time when I had a shitty PC (integrated gpu only). MTX wasn't an issue at the start but like a year into the game's lifecycle and it turned into extreme mtx slop.

It was brutal listening to one of their interview videos they did after the game was already basically on deaths door.

>our game got super popular and we didnt know what to do!
>we noticed tons of new players trying the game and not staying!
>we kept changing the game to chase popular trends!
>lol loot boxes!
>we kept changing the game to try and keep the people that were leaving!
>we kept making the game easier for younger players!
>nothing worked!
>only years later did we finally realize we should have been focusing on the people that did stay and kept playing the game!

But from seeing their other interviews over the years I knew they were lying through their teeth and were just fucking idiots. They didnt learn anything from their failure. I remember old interviews where they would change something that longtime players hated, and then laugh at the longtime players when asking for the changes reverted on dev streams.

Then they had a ton of other shitty failed projects that never took off like that Robocraft fortnite knockoff. And then Cardlife, a shitty minecraft knockoff. A bunch of shitty engineering concept games that all failed. Then Robocraft 2, which they made and fucked up TWICE.

They learned nothing and deserved to fail.

I played a long time ago, had a little hovercraft that was really fast and had those repair beams to fix people with (Or take apart weaker bots with a flank). Surprisingly, because of the underside frame and the centralized hover fans, it was an amazingly long lasting bot because it would frequently take direct hits with plasma or whatever and just lose a gun or two instead of losing mobility.

What really killed the game for me was the auto-regeneration or whatever, it used to be you at first couldn't repair at all in combat, then they released nanobeams or whatever the thing was that repaired you, then they finally made it so not taking damage for 15 seconds or so caused your bot to auto-repair. It felt kind of annoying to land a direct hit and cripple someone only to have them shuffle off for a few seconds and pretend like it never happened.
