Retrobot is the latest game by Endeavor Bros and it costs $0.99 in the App Store.

The story behind the game is based in 2025 where robots are doing all the tasks humans don’t want to do. As you’ve probably guessed, things start to go wrong and these robots take control of the world. You play as Retrobot who is the hero of the story and is out to find his master, Spencer.

Retrobot isn’t alone in his task as he’s accompanied by Spencer’s pet monkey, Toto. Together they roll through the world, shooting through evil robots in trying to find their master.

You see this story unfold in the form of comics between levels. If you’re the type who doesn’t have the time for story lines and just wants to get stuck into the gameplay you can turn the comic updates off.

Controlling Retrobot is easy as all you can do is move forwards, backwards and shoot your weapon in nearly all directions. While roaming through the streets looking for Spencer you encounter various robots that are all trying to attack you. Shooting them down sometimes results in bonuses that help you along. You can get health boosts, shields and upgraded weapons.

The upgrades and health boosts come in handy as you often find that you’re being attacked by a few robots at the same time, some flying and some on the ground.

There are 5 different worlds you need to work through and at the end of each one you encounter a boss. Boss levels are what you’d expect them to be. You’re up against a huge boss robot and you have to move around to avoid their attacks while you try and shoot them down.

The gameplay is really easy to get the hang of and it’s not too easy or too hard so can quickly get addictive. The story and general randomness of Retrobot is what makes this a truly interesting game. It costs $0.99 and you can get it for your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad here.

Rating 4/5 Stars.
