Robot Squad Simulator 2017 Review

Have you ever wanted to play a squad-based simulator, perhaps something like the original SOCOM, but instead of Navy Seals you’re given control over a set of situation-based robots? If the answer is yes then boy does Bit Golem have the game for you!

Robot Squad Simulator 2017 is the Ronseal of game titles - the game does what it says on the box. You’re tasked with controlling a squad of remote controlled bots, using them to deal with a variety of missions that can’t be completed by humans, usually due to some form of environmental hazard.

There are 16 missions in all in with six tutorial stages which can range from exploring mineshafts to poring over sunken ships and scanning terrain from the skies. There is a fair amount of diversity thrown in, with spy missions and salvage feeling distinctly different to rescue missions in tone and scope.
