Reviews on The Machines for iOS

★★★★☆ Maps?
So I started playing it and, it is interesting concept. Robots waring each other for the crown but, there is a serious lack of maps, any story, or a deep connection to the battle other than the orders issued or the support you can give, which isn’t all that great other than a death beam to the enemy or weak mini-towers which only serve to annoy the enemy robot than actually do anything.
★★★★☆ Legit
I love the game. A little glitchy when I play multiplayer with friends. Matches keep ending in a “draw” though. Not sure if there’s some sort of strategy guide. That would be cool.
★★★★★ THIS GAME IS GREAT! ONLY 1 ISSUE
I love this game, the only downfall is you cant play a certain friend with the same game. When you select multiplayer it picks some random player for you...BUMMER!!!
★★★★★ Love this
The updates keep getting better! Thanks for listening to the reviews!
★★★★★ Great first iteration!!!
This is a great proof of concept for mobile AR gaming!! Are there any plans for local multiplayer?? Are there any plans for online multiplayer with friends?
