Robocraft Free 2 Play Game Released For Linux

Robocraft is a surprisingly fun free 2 play game now on Linux. You build your own vehicle and have it out with other people across the globe with some amusing designs.

We held off on announcing it when it first arrived due to server issues, but it looks like that has stabilised now! The performance seems pretty good, and I have been able to connect to all games now.

It's a pretty fun little game, but the reviews paint a bit of an ugly picture of it moving towards a "pay 2 win" model which is a shame, but I still seem to have a fair amount of fun with it, and I am sure you will too.

It's an interestingly designed game as during battle you will see all your blocks gradually get shot off and that's pretty fun to see, especially when it's you doing the shooting.

If you come up with any fun designs of vehicles be sure to show us in the comments.

Cool, after short break I am returning to battle with my Devastator at level 5, but now on Linux!

Meh, a bit of fun, but the gameplay is way too simple to justify spending any money on it.

Quoting: HadBabitsMeh, a bit of fun, but the gameplay is way too simple to justify spending any money on it.

I think the gameplay is mostly in finding new, more efficient ways of building defensively and offensively. I've had a lot of fun playing it so far. That being said, I haven't spent a penny on it, and don't see myself doing so.

The biggest problem I have had is frequent disconnects in the battles. Seems a lot smoother today. Here's to hoping they include more interesting game modes, though.

The game seems to be fun, but the lag is TERRIBLE :/
