What players say

Players describe Madrobot X as a retro-styled shoot 'em up with 12 bosses and weapon upgrades, but opinions split: some find it a good chaotic arcade throwback with bonus items and an energetic soundtrack, while others call the gameplay lackluster and the graphics poor. A few note limited enemy variety and a lack of Chinese translation.
