Mr. Robot is a 3D action-puzzle-adventure-rpg. Inspired by classic filmation games such as Knight Lore and Alien8 and mixed with 'Ghost Hack' — an abstract RPG in which the player hacks into computer terminals and battles defensive computer programs.

Seems fairly retro by today's standards but still a good game that has some very light Mega Man Battle Network type exploration and battles. The platformer is a little unfairly difficult, and puzzles are okay, but I had fun with this one.
[h1] Blast from the past! [/h1]
A simple, yet nice mix of izometrical puzzle-platformer exploration and JRPG combat. The puzzles are pretty cool, couple of them even me scratch my head for and hour or so. The hacking part (which are the game's "combat") and all the management around it while not being very deep, still provide enough variety for the duration of a playthrough. There sure is a story in this game, but it is quite far from being the main driver for you to play. Barely there, yet still charming.
Although, i have to mention one thing. I wouldn't have played this game if it wasn't for my childhood. ("Transformers" magazines, anyone?) I felt very nostalgic about this title, so when i have stumbled upon a video on it and saw the original title of the game, it was pretty much a matter of time till i'd play through the entire thing. And now i'm done! To my big surprise, i ended up getting quite involved to the JRPG aspect of Mr. Robot, even tho i don't really play this kind of games. I also vividly remember being overwhelmed by it as a child and liking the puzzle-platformer part a lot more. Kinda funny...
So, yeah, these are my impressions. The last thing i should mention is that the game is pretty easy on "normal". It does include the high difficulty option, but i haven't tried it. Oh, and the mouse & keyboard controls are probably the weakest part of the entire game. Hope you don't mind using arrow keys, heh. And if you have any troubles with the "Enter" key multiclicking - use Ctrl instead. Fills the same functions.
Thanks for the childhood, Mr. Robot!
Still as fun as it was in childhood. A bit easier now especially that I know English and games much better than when I was a kid but still difficult enough to be challenging in a fun way.
Pros:
+ fun combination of 3d platform logic game
+ dialogues, characters, story, some shocking moments
+ nostalgic vibe
+ fun turn based fighting gameplay
+ collectible items, rpg looting and equipment vibe
+ sci-fi theme
+ can be quite challenging and puzzling at times
Cons:
- graphics feels a bit low quality
- movement feels a bit stiff
- long travel times between some key locations
This is a game I first downloaded the demo for from ArcadeTown, when that was still a thing. I for the life of me couldn't figure out how I was supposed to find it, until one day I found it on a whim and found out it was on Steam(!!).
It's honestly criminal how obscure this game is (though I suppose the title doesn't do it very many favors in retrospect), because the bit of it that I've played has been charming, exciting and in general, just really fun.
I would LOVE to see this remastered. If a game from 2006 can look this good, imagine what it would look like given a new coat of paint.
Mr. Robot is an unusual, imaginative blend of genres that reflects the ambition and inventive spirit of mid-2000s indie development. Created and published by Moonpod, it casts you as Asimov, a humble service robot aboard the massive colony ship Eidolon. When the ship’s systems begin to fail and the human passengers in cryostasis are placed in jeopardy, Asimov becomes an unlikely hero—navigating malfunctioning corridors, hostile machines, and corrupted digital systems in a desperate attempt to uncover what has gone wrong. The setup is simple but engaging, setting the stage for a journey that is equal parts physical exploration and virtual infiltration, wrapped in a moody, atmospheric sci-fi presentation.
At its core, Mr. Robot is a hybrid game composed of two distinct but interconnected parts. The first is a 3D isometric puzzle-platformer, where you guide Asimov through boxed-in rooms filled with hazards, moving platforms, switches, electrified panels, and environmental puzzles. These sections evoke the feel of classic puzzle adventures: precision movement, timed switches, crate manipulation, and hazard navigation form the backbone of progression. The isometric view gives the game a distinct identity but also adds a layer of challenge, as judging height and distance becomes essential for avoiding pitfalls. Much of the tension lies not in enemies but in the ship itself, with environmental dangers presenting as much threat as any antagonist.
The second component is the hacking mode—a turn-based RPG system that engages whenever Asimov interfaces with computer terminals or digital locks. Here, the game transforms completely: instead of platforming, you command a team of “ghost” programs that battle corrupted data defenses. These sequences are visually abstract and mechanically different, involving stat upgrades, skill choices, and careful selection of attacks or support actions. The duality between the two modes is striking, but it allows the game to flex different muscles. Physical sections reward dexterity and attention, while hacking battles demand a more methodical, strategic mindset. As progression continues, the connection between the two becomes more meaningful, with success in one influencing your capabilities in the other.
This unusual structure helps Mr. Robot stand out, but it is also what creates some of its roughest edges. The isometric platforming, while clever, occasionally suffers from perspective difficulties. Depth and elevation can be tricky to read, leading to misjudged jumps or unintended falls. Some puzzles require relentless trial and error, and repeated failure in the later stages can make progress feel slow or punishing. Conversely, the hacking system—while charming in its retro RPG inspirations—may feel shallow to players expecting deeper customization or more complex enemy behavior. Battles rely on straightforward turn-based mechanics, and once you establish a reliable approach, the sense of danger tends to fade.
What bolsters the experience is the strong atmosphere. The Eidolon feels like a living, deteriorating environment: dim corridors hum with failing machinery, automated systems behave unpredictably, and background audio reinforces the sense of isolation. The visual design mixes industrial metallic interiors with glowing monitors, data lines, and sterile maintenance spaces, creating a believable vision of a massive starship on the brink of catastrophe. The tone is more somber than comedic, and as the narrative evolves, there is a growing sense of unease that complements the gameplay loop of delving deeper into the ship’s problems.
Yet the game’s pacing can be uneven. Early sections do an admirable job of introducing systems and teaching puzzle mechanics, but as the adventure grows more complex, the flow can slow noticeably. The alternation between platforming and hacking is intriguing but sometimes disrupts rhythm, especially when long platforming sequences are abruptly followed by extended digital battles. Navigation can also become confusing, with the in-game map offering limited clarity on multi-room layouts or long-term objectives, occasionally leaving players wandering until they stumble upon the next correct path.
Despite these flaws, Mr. Robot maintains a loyal fanbase for good reason. It is a game with personality—quirky, earnest, and unafraid to take creative risks. It may not be polished to a mirror shine, but its commitment to blending genres and telling a small-scale sci-fi story gives it a distinctive charm. Asimov himself, with his modest role and unexpectedly heroic journey, adds emotional grounding to the otherwise mechanical world. For players willing to embrace its quirks, the game rewards persistence with clever puzzle design, atmospheric tension, and the satisfaction of unraveling a digital mystery piece by piece.
Ultimately, Mr. Robot is a project defined by ambition: a puzzle-platformer with RPG layers, a sci-fi story told through both physical and virtual conflict, and an indie game unafraid to experiment. It is uneven in execution but rich in ideas, offering an experience that stands apart from the formulaic tendencies of many modern titles. For players seeking something different—something that challenges both reflexes and strategy while delivering a memorable atmosphere—Mr. Robot remains a unique and worthwhile journey through a troubled starship and the circuits of a small but determined hero.

“A hidden indie gem – creative, nostalgic, and surprisingly emotional.”
Mr. Robot z pozoru wydaje się dziwnym miksem akcji, platformówki 3d, turowego rpg'a z segmentami rozwiązywania puzzli. (i ten miks gatunkowy DZIAŁA *szok*)
w tej krótkiej recenzji chciałbym się głównie skupić na elemencie który według mnie błyszczy najjaśniej w tej grze i przez który od wielu wielu lat powracam do tej gry (czy to na steam, czy w wersji na płycie bo również takową posiadam i sama gra jest mi bliska praktycznie od początku mojej gamingowej przygody) - a jest to: [h2] turowy RPG [/h2][b] TAK! [/b]
uważam walkę w Mr. Robot za pewien fenomen, który wielu graczy grając "normalnie" może po prostu przelecieć, ponieważ aby przejść przez etapy zablokowane za obowiązkową walką to gra wymaga pokonanie tylko odpowiedniego komponentu w sieci neuronowej(?) co pozwala przy odpowiednim szczęściu / umiejętnym używaniu mechanik i/lub przedmiotów na skipnięcie WIĘKSZOŚCI encounterów w grze. W walkę wchodzimy poprzez hakowanie, a hakować możemy terminale (które głównie są wymagane albo fabularnie aby przejść dalej albo ich ukończenie odblokowuje pewne dodatkowe ułatwienia) oraz każdego wrogo nastawionego do Asiimova robota na którego uda nam się wejść, w ekranie hakowania poruszamy się w cyberprzestrzeni i przy przejściu przez dany jej fragment gracz ma szansę na uaktywnienie systemu obronnego danego komponentu (wtedy następuje inicjalizacja walki) do samej walki używamy Duchów (konstrukt naszego robota w cyberprzestrzeni) na przestrzeni gry mamy do dyspozycji duchy:
[b]Asiimova[/b] (naszej postaci) który to jest robotem [b]wielozadaniowym[/b]
[b]Zeldy[/b] która to jest robotem [b]serwisowym[/b]
Kolejnych cybernetycznych wojowników zdobywamy w pobocznych segmentach gry (gdyż gra wymaga od nas jedynie uratowanie Zeldy), należą do nich:
[b]Orgus[/b] (klasa [b]Security[/b])
[b]Brutus[/b] (klasa [b]Heavy lifter[/b])
[b]Raistlin[/b] (klasa [b]komunikacyjna[/b])
oraz wiele innych przedstawicieli tych wszystkich klas o randomowo wygenerowanych nazwach (których możemy znaleźć w dobrze ukrytych pokojach) Nasza drużyna składa się z maksymalnie 4 osób, pojedyncze potyczki są generalnie krótkie (w finalnych lokacjach dopiero pojawiają się przeciwnicy którzy mogą stanowić wyzwanie ponieważ mają więcej życia oraz mają dostęp do wielu zaawansowanych programów takich jak grupowe leczenie itp.). Wszystkie jednostki (nasze i przeciwnika) mają [b]energie[/b] (punkty zdrowia) [b]moc[/b] (mana) oraz nasze postacie posiadają pasek [b]EXTRA[/b] (taki ult) i te statystyki zapisują się po każdej walce więc w długiej perspektywie musimy zarządzać życiem oraz ekwipunkiem naszych cybernetycznych wojowników. Każda z klas jest znacząca (a jest ich 5) i w skrócie:
[h3]robot wielozadaniowy[/h3] jest okej w każdej sytuacji ale nie jest najlepszy w niczym, [h3]heavy lifter[/h3] jest genialnym tankiem i physical damage dealerem natomiast ma absolutne braki programowe, [h3]robot serwisowy[/h3] jest kluczowy w utrzymaniu drużyny przy życiu oraz potrafi korzystając z swojego EXTRA przywrócić energie i moc drużynie lub wskrzesić poległego towarzysza, posiada konkretny potencjał programowy natomiast ma braki w walce fizycznej oraz z moich obserwacji przeciwnicy są skłonni do częstszego atakowania robota tej klasy, [h3]robot klasy Security[/h3] słaby fizycznie robot o ogromnym potencjale obronnym oraz specjalizujący się w ofensywnym oprogramowaniu, [h3]robot klasy komunikacyjnej[/h3] robot o ogromnych zasobach energii i mocy, zdolny do kontroli tych zasobów u sojuszników i przeciwników (przekazywanie mocy sojusznikom, kradzież mocy i energii od przeciwników) posiada konkretny potencjał programowy natomiast w momencie w którym wyczerpie się jego moc i nie posiadamy zasobów aby ją uzupełnić staje się praktycznie bezużyteczny na polu bitwy.
Na dodatek każdego robota możemy wyposażyć w broń i pancerz oraz możemy ulepszać statystyki danych członków drużyny poprzez [b]modyfikatory atrybutów[/b] (których na ogół nie ma zbyt wiele, a zdobywać je możemy jako losowy loot po walce oraz w paru miejscach na mapie są poukrywane). [h2] Walka [/h2] Schemat walki jest dość prosty, przed rozpoczęciem danej tury wybieramy akcje jaką mają nasze jednostki zrobić [b](zaatakować danego przeciwnika wręcz, użyć konkretnego programu, użyć przedmiotu, bronić się, uciekać lub zużyć naładowane EXTRA)[/b] po wyborze akcji dla każdego naszego wojownika następuje czas tury podczas której każdy z uczestników bitwy rzuca wirtualną "kością" i na podstawie wyniku jest określana kolejność w jakich atakują sojusznicy i przeciwnicy (na dobrą sprawę ten opis jest umowny bo my jako gracz nie widzimy tego rzutu kością). Każda walka nagradza gracza punktami doświadczenia, możliwością kumulowania % EXTRA na ważniejsze pojedynki oraz lootem po każdej potyczce (przez walutę po przedmioty użytkowe, ekwipunek czy bardzo pożądane modyfikatory atrybutów)[h2] Levelowanie [/h2]wbicie maksymalnego potencjału programowego naszych wojowników którzy mogą korzystać z programów (wszyscy [b]oprócz[/b] klasy heavy lifter) jest dość łatwo, natomiast nadal możemy levelować naszych wojowników aby zdobywać więcej punktów energii oraz odblokowywać nowe ataki EXTRA (na przykładzie klasy serwisowej, na starcie posiada ona tylko przywrócenie energii i mocy całej drużyny na 100%, po konkretnej liczbie użyć tego EXTRA odblokujemy drugi atak tej kategorii który pozwala wskrzesić jednego poległego bohatera aby na końcu odblokować 3 stage tego EXTRA który pozwala jednocześnie na wskrzeszenie całej drużyny oraz przywrócenie całej drużyny na 100%, dla ciekawskich to klasa power liftera na stage'u 3 odblokowuje zdolność [b]instant kill[/b] (chociaż muszę naprostować bo ten atak po prostu zadaje ogromny dmg a nie jest faktycznym instant killem jak nazwa wskazuje więc final bossa się tym nie pozbędziemy na hita) )
Więc jak widać systemy walki i rozwoju drużyny są jednocześnie proste jak i zważając na całościowy rozmiar gry - [b]rozbudowane[/b] i potrafią wciągnąć gracza w godziny levelowania drużyny[h2] Level Design i zagadki środowiskowe [/h2]no to teraz wypadałoby coś napisać o designie leveli i zagadkach (puzzlach) - no absolutna większość zagadek wymaga przypatrzeniu się patternowi poruszania się wrogich robotów i zręczne ich unikanie, odpowiedniego używania movementu, skoków, dźwigów oraz unikania głębokiej wody (woda która ma głębokość większą niż połowa wysokości naszej postaci po prostu nas instant zabija, a płytsza woda zabiera nam 1/3 życia) więc poza celnymi skokami nad przepaściami wody oraz jednym pokojem w finalnej części gry (gdzie to są taśmy transportowe które układają się w kwadrat a w jego środku jest duży szybki robot i 4 guziki które obniżają filary na końcu pokoju) to [b]gra nie stanowi większego wyzwania[/b], więc jeżeli nie macie problemów z poruszaniem się w trójwymiarowych grach to [b]polecam[/b] od samego początku [b]grać na trudnym[/b] poziomie (mamy jedno życie po którego stracie cofa nas do ostatniego checkpointa, oraz liczba waluty w świecie jest zmniejszona)
[h2] POLSKA [/h2]
Nie wiem czy jest dostępny w internecie ale ta gra posiada [b]polską wersję[/b] (a przynajmniej na fizycznych płytach jakie były wydawane w naszym kraju ta gra jest po polsku)
[h1] WADY [/h1]
- gra jest krótka jeżeli pchamy przez fabułę, możemy ją jedynie wydłużyć poprzez czyszczenie cyberprzestrzeni oraz hakowanie wszystkiego co się rusza i na co umiemy wejść
[h3] utrata dostępu do scenariuszy społeczności [/h3] - tak ta gra posiadała możliwość ściągnięcia scenariuszy fabularnych które tworzyła społeczność na forum twórcy gry - forum nadal istnieje i nawet da się tam znaleźć scenariusze ale aby móc w nie grać to trzeba posiadać konto na forum którego uwaga - nie da się stworzyć, bo po utworzeniu konta administrator forum musi je zaakceptować oraz wersja gry na steamie oraz wersja fizyczna którą posiadam jest [b] INNA [/b] niż ta którą twórcy sprzedawali bezpośrednio na swojej stronie! (te wersje są "wykastrowane" z funkcjonalności scenariuszy społeczności!!!)
Это игра моего детства. Получил диск с ней вместе с журналом "Трансформеры". Играл месяцами. Сейчас вспомнил о ней, купил в стиме и прошёл за 3 дня. Действительно душевная игра.
Дизайн очень единообразный, в играх такого сейчас не хватает. Платформинг с пространственными головоломками интересный, где то на 2/3. JRPG составляющая слишком сложная и лёгкая. Ни разу не потерял ни одного призрака, при этом использовал за всё прохождение около 5-6 программ. Но именно сочетание этих 2 механик дают геймплею нужное разнообразие
2008 was sort of a weird generation of games: the whole concept of a subscription model -- especially for gaming-- was new and no where as good as it is now. The main originator was GameTap. And it was during that time that I was able to play indie darling Mr. Robot.
Mr. Robot takes place in the far future as humanity is in cyrogenic sleep as the ship, the Eidolon, is flying through space to an unknown planet for humanity to wake up and populate it. It's during the voyage that our story takes place. The game stars Aismov as he quickly gets wrapped up in solving puzzles and stopping an insane AI.
So yes, Mr. Robot is not going to win any awards for originality as the game wears its influences on its sleeve: Final Fantasy, sci fi classics from books and movies, Dragon Quest...
Game play is a mixture of Solstice / Equinox / Landstalker (isometric 3-d perspective platforming) and Sokoban mixed in with classic roleplaying tropes. The game is definitely built with the platforming in mind as everything clearly designed around the methodical problem solving. Controlling Asimove is a little tricky due to the isometric perspective as well as him being weirdly heavy as he'll float across an extra tile like a good robot would. It's great for realism, not so great for making an accessible game. There's lots of little clues to help with perspective. Robots and traps are seen on the map and cause damage to our friend. Sometimes you can hack them by getting on their heads and taking out a certain node. Take too much damage while on the ship and Asimov explodes. You have 3 lives to get to the next way point/save spot, otherwise you're sent to the last save. You can recover lives by collecting energon -- which also doubles as your currency. Jumping slightly ahead, I never found myself hurting for money. I digress, the lives system barely worked in 2008, and it definitely doesn't work in 2025. This is also connected to the level design: the game does a pretty job to save the player some grief when backtracking needs to be done; there's usually a short cut. Except when there isn't one. I can think of a few examples that are on the mean side: There's a room that has 2 blocks stacked on each other and getting to the other ledge; the giant robots who press switches in multiple rooms and relentlessly chase Asimov; areas with flame traps and spikes as they are instant death; having to keep certain robots alive as they are part of the solution.
Then the hacking portion (roleplaying) is traditional turn based. The robots are filled with various functions when in reality each robot or computer system has it's own critical function node. Take it out that node by destroying the security system, and poof! That robot or computer is crashed. This is accomplished by through traditional turn based RPG combat. The team is made up of "ghosts," images of our hero and friends who use viruses and programs (magic) to destroy the security system in each node. The problem with this system is rough on a multitude of levels. 1) The combat is super slow and ultimately comes down to each side exchanging blows. So what was already a slow paced game is now extra slow. It can make it difficult to feel like progress is being made. 2) While there are multiple copies of the different character classes hidden around the map in secret rooms, there's little need to use them as there's no real character development or differences between the story characters that are present. 3) Experience is awarded at a very slow rate. This makes the beginning time in cyber space very challenging, needlessly so. 4)Programs / spells are close to useless unless it's buffing or healing. The attack spells do not cause enough for the power cost. In fact, the higher tier healing spells are unnecessary as well due to the game throwing items at you as well as the basic healing spell covering hit points, even if it is 1 at a time.
Graphically, the game looks rather solid by today's standards. The game is clean and objects are cleanly displayed. The game nails the sci fi theme perfectly. The game likes to show the entire room when encountering a puzzle for the first time, though I didn't find it very helpful when planning my route or figuring out solutions. It is important to note that the game did crash on me a few times in 1 room late in the game. There's also several times where I've died on a screen and the puzzle would be solved for me after Asimov respawned in a room.
Musically, the game is rather pleasant to listen to. There's nothing that is offensive. The sound effects are fine.
And at the end of the day, there's definitely a certain charm to the game. Even 15 years later after I initially played the game, I still like it. I can see why so many critics and players back in the day liked it. Yes, it's rough around the edges, it's a mostly easy 15 hour playthrough. The game seems to have been designed in mind for other modules in mind that never seemed to have materialized over the years, especially now that Moonpod is defunct. Which is a major bummer. The game occasionally goes on sale for a fraction of the cost and makes it the perfect time to check out this game.
Its A Soukobon Puzzle Game, With A Very Poorly Made Combat RPG Mechanics Spliced in
The platforming puzzles are not fun at all, I wanted to like this game but I hate tedious platforming
old but gold platformer rpg
worth trying out!
I've tried several times to get into this game, but I just can't get past several things. First, the default controls are bad, and worse, you can't remap them. If it were just that, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but the character movement is very floaty and imprecise, and the game requires precise isometric platforming, which is difficult enough even with good controls. What little I've experienced of the turn-based RPG combat is very vanilla, and the enemies have high block and dodge rates, which makes fighting them an exercise in patience.
A fun Indie Puzzle-Platformer RPG from 2007, despite the numerous bugs and glitches. I'd say it's worth checking out if you've got the time, as long as you save often.
its a very creative game from a unique time in indie gaming
A unique little game. Has some flaws but is cool nonetheless. Wish it had a better title.
SOUL
This game is a great little adventure into a totally different style. I loved the tech skills, weapons, and more you can use in an almost DND style campaign. the story line is great, and has good bots, bad bots, redemption arcs, and full blown twists.
It's not a long game, but you can play it a few times in different ways I think. Replay after a few years to revisit. Absolutely one of my all time favs, and not just because i like robots, space, space robots, computers, space computers, and "hacking".
AFAIK, the achievements are still bugged. You can NOT explore the entire ship, there is a bugged door that will not open into a corridor.
Jako dziecko mnie odrzuciła i teraz jeszcze bardziej, po prostu nudna.
40/100
Легендарная игра моего детства. Игра имеет предпоследнюю версию, со звуком и картинкой более низкого качества. Последняя версия (у меня диск есть + есть русский язык)-неоднократно вылетала. Стим-версия работает стабильно. Сам диск продавался вместе с журналом про трансформеров.
Сюжет: Корабль "Эйдолон" (в русской версии "Рэй Брэдбери") держит курс на Прайм-одинокую и пригодную для жизни планету. Люди находятся в стазисе, в то время как сотни роботов неуспыпно следят за кораблём. Всех роботов контролирует главный компьютер ХЕЛ. С ним стали происходить разные сбои, навязывающие жажду убивать. И Азимову, главному герою, необходимо узнать, что с ним происходит. Азимов встречает, а в дальнейшем спасает своих верных друзей. Зельда-робот-ремонтник. Оргус, Рейстлин.
Увлекательный геймплей, представляющий собой платформер с головоломками, а также мини-игры по взлому компьютеров (битва виртуалов). Поскольку Азимов спасает своих друзей, сохранив их разум, они помогают ему в битве в виде тех самых вируталов. Их можно прокачивать, покупать/продавать снаряжение, постепенно зарабатывают опыт. Умеют пользоваться разными способностями. Каждый виртуал имеет 3 показателя: Энергия, Мощность, Экстра. Энергия-здоровье, мощность-так называемая "мана" для применения различных атак, щитов и т.д. Экстра-супер-способность, которая накапливается постепенно. Каждый вирутал имеет свою уникальную. По всему кораблю, который вы будете исследовать, разбросаны разные тайники, шкафчики, которые можно обыскивать. Энергоны-местная валюта для покупки оружия и снаряжения+можно себе восстанавливать здоровье. ЕВА-сам местный магазин. Она также помогает скопировать разумы товарищей Азимова в новые тела в конце после поражения ХЕЛа.
10 из 10
The game is a simplistic platformer that has a bad game feel. Movement feels unpleasant in this game, the puzzles aren't intriguing enough.
I will be spreading Zamanova's frozen cheeks tonight bois
Fallen in love with Mr. Robot. And one of the Best ending I have ever seen in video gaming history. :-)
[b]mr. robot[/b] is definitely one of the least-known gems around. it's an isometric puzzle/platform/rpg. you move your robot around with slightly floaty controls (one of the methods works better than the other) and jump around collecting stuff, pushing crates to make way or avoid hazards, etc. and ultimately try to save your robot friends, who slowly join you and make fights easier, especially if you equip them properly with upgrades and programs.
the rooms on the spaceship (oh yeah, you're on a spaceship, humans are in cryo-sleep and the ai's gone mad, of course) are puzzly and platformy, sometimes timing is required to avoid things or make a jump, and when you hack terminals, you'll get the chance to grab loot and weaken the ai via turn-based combat.
progress can be saved at save points but it's not too much of a bother to get back to the nearest one occasionally and there's a demo if you're uncertain. it's not a pure puzzler, but that's what I love about it (and I'm sure that's what's gonna turn some people off). if it didn't have the hacking/combat, I would've passed on it probably, as I'm not that good at platforming, but the whole package was a lot of fun to play through (ignore my playtime, I played it in offline mode). kinda like a match-3 game with meta-progression, more appealing than just matching and getting a higher score.
the level editor isn't included in the Steam version and I don't think you can play user-made levels found on the [url=http://www.moonpod.com/board/viewforum.php?f=23&sid=4c80044c0b29cb15a68eded9f9a384af]official forum[/url] either, but the game itself is definitely worth your attention.
роботы мне очень нравятся
хватит путать
NO COMPLAINTS.
This game is quite amazing. Feels like the old 2d dos games i used to play but with decent 3d sprites. If you like the first zelda game and final fantasy but wondered what would happen if you combined the two: that's this. Turn based battles and mini games. maze running navigation and puzzles.
Game has good feels.
Sidenote: watch the movie "black hole" and other space/robot movies from the 70s and 80s you'll find some amazing references.
I played that game when i was 7. It's nice to play it again.
[h1]Verdict: 8.5/10[/h1]
+ remake of the 8bit era isometric games on the sinclair ZX spectrum (by Ultimate - play the game)
+ awesome relaxing soundtrack
+ nice lighting effects
str8 outta childhood
Well, the "push-things-around" puzzles did not age well. The rest of the game is pretty neat however.
While on the surface this is a basic platform jumper with final fantasy style combat after playing for a while you start to see what a gem this game is. It is very polished and there are lots of little easter eggs that make you smile. Your character is called Asimov a clear node to the sci fi writer who is often called the father of Robotics (he wrote the three laws). In another part you come across shuttles each named after a spaceship in Sci-fi. It just shows that the game was put together by a team that loved doing their job and it shows. I would highly recommend this game. While it might not be the greatest game of all time. You will not get better for a few pounds.
Wasn't expecting much when I got this as part of a Steam sale, but was pleasantly surprised. A cute little action RPG with some puzzle elements; reminded me a bit of Super Mario RPG. Has surprisingly good graphics and writing for an indie title from 2007.
8/10 Would go on robotic misadventures again.
[i]copied from backloggd[/i]
Oh, where do I even start.
So, the game is from relatively unknown studio from 2007 of mediocre quality, add to this title similar to televesion series and this game was sentenced to obscurity. Unsurprising, game runs like ♥♥♥♥ even on the modern hardware. Also a lot of bugs related to graphics (I played in window mode, since on the high quality image becomes deepfried. To add salt to injury, cursor isn't bound to window, so expect messing with your toolbar. It goes without saying that there's no fixes at all).
The gameplay isn't good. Controls are stiff and unresponsive, jrpg aspect of game pose no challenge at all and exist solely to pad out the runtime. I can't stress enough how everything's SLOW in this game. I mean it would be fine, if the game was a 4-5 hour experience, not double the time.
I don't want to go into detail with plot, but it's yet again mediocre at best. Character named HEL (suprise-surprise) is the villain, you probably never saw it coming, huh? Dialogue is very poorly written. After character death there's 2-3 lines at max and he's never mentioned again. It's funny because the game tries to force on you the idea that these robots are sentient beings and indeed "die", not disappear.
I completed it because it was my unbeaten childhood game but I really can't recommend this to anyone. The music's good though. Also "soylent" and "among us" in the credits were funny, mostly because it was unintentional.
Mr. Robot is pretty awesome. It's a strange combo of oldschool isometric platform game à la 8-bit games like Head Over Heels, and JRPG style fights.
The poor controls ruin what may have otherwise been a good game.
There was something really quite gripping about this games story. It's not just moving blocks around, a real story to it.
Probably, the best underrated indie game ever.
A fun, isometric RPG that reminds me a lot of old Sega Genesis games. The battles are turn based, with puzzels to solve and secret items to find along the way. Very cool game. I got it on sale at some point, but to me the game is worth the $9.99 asking price.

It sure looks like it has potential but it's very run of the mill and boring
This game has a lot of good stuff in it, isometric platforming, hacking computers, upgrading your robot, and interesting story. But somehow it still manages to feel repetitive to the point at which I probably won't actually finish it. I think it's in the RPG portion that it falls apart. But I'd still recommend it, because there are enough good ideas to make you feel for a while like it's everything you could possibly want.
This is nothing like the TV show.
Un señor juego, para todos aquellos que les gustaron los filmations de 8 bits como batman y head over hells. Si bien puede que a alguno se le haga pesado lo de los combates por turnos no fastidia el juego. Y teniendo en cuenta que este tipo de juegos escasean repito. Para los amantes del filmation muy recomendado. Yo me lo estoy acabando y me lo he pasado pipa.
I enjoyed this game. The graphics were good, very old school and enjoyable. I liked the story, the sound and the puzzles. Overall, I would totally buy this game again.
I wasn't expecting an RPG when I downloaded this, since most of the screenshots are from the platforming sections. But I still got mostly what I expected.
The turn based fighting sections honestly did start to wear on me after a while. And I usually like simple RPGs, but these fights were so easy that it just became monotonous. I beat the final boss in three turns for crying out loud. Maybe it would have been better if I played on hard, I don't know. This isn't too much of a problem though since you can just opt to avoid fights if you want.
The story and the puzzle sections made the game for me. It's got a really neat sort of singularity type of story that I've never seen in a game before. And I like how you learn more about the characters as the game progresses.
The platforming sections I liked the most, I just wish there were more of them.
Overall I enjoyed the game. But if you're expecting a straight puzzle platformer, or a more in-depth RPG then maybe think twice before getting it.
Older, but still a good game.
A ok game. If the developers would have fixed a few bugs and whatnot it could have been better. Get it on sale only
Ну, что стоит сказать насчёт этой игры...
Во-первых, она действительно достойна для игры это уж точно - тут вам и пазлы, и РПГ и даже капельку экшна в некоторых моментах, ну и персонажи с сюжетом тоже дают о себе знать, хоть и не выделяются-то особо сильно.
Во-вторых, играть в это приятно сколь угодно - геймплея тут навалом, хоть я за один присест и прошёл, лол. Разнообразие головоломок и ах*ительные взломы просто потрясают. Да, бывало что и бесило это п*здец когда сдыхал очень тупо, но в целом ведь игруха кульная.
Короче - покупать стоит, если хочется отдать дань разработчикам. Особенно учитывая то, что мало контента об этой игре в инете вообще, от чего я шокирован просто был. Эх...
Sympathique mais les jeux de plateformes ne sont pas trop mon trucs alors si en plus on joue des briques qui glissent comme des savonettes ... Bref, trop dur pour moi :)
Par contre, lhistoire m'amusait pas mal et l'ambiance est rigolote.
Et oui, dommage qu'il ne soit pas en français.
Hop, dans la catégorie : Jamais fini.
Great little Indie Game, mix of puzzler and RPG with two very different game modes.
Steam unfortunately doesn't include the level editor.
FYI as long as you're willing to die occaisionally no grinding needed.
There's a lot to like about this game, but platforming in the isometric view was a pain. And when you solve a puzzle with a lot of block pushing, then botch the platforming and die, it resets all the blocks. Who has time for that? If you're fairly skilled or very patient, go ahead and try it - it's cool when it's not frustrating.
An attempt at putting Puzzle Platforming and Traditional RPG gameplay into the same experience. The RPG sections play out as expected and work fine. The Puzzle Platforming, on the other hand, do not. Using an Xbox 360 controller, the player character and movable objects slip and slide haphazardly. Movable blocks seem like they're supposed to lock into the squares of the playfield, but do not more than half the time. Trying these sections with keyboard and mouse feel even worse.
Really fun! Just SO FUN!!! Lots of fun puzzles to do and even some secret rooms! Although it's got a few glitches like all other games, you can Hack into robots you encounter and even Kill them IMMEDIATELY after the hack! Watch out for crushers and incinerators, though. They are INSTANT kill! You dont want to walk under them Especially in hard mode because in hard, you only have ONE life! Plus, Some enemies might be even stronger than they were in easy! In the Final Hack, you have to navigate your way to the very master system of the ship, H.E.L (HEL). He's Very tough, Even though I have No Idea what H.E.L stands for. But If you fully Charge Everyone's Extremes, It will go Much better than without the extremes. Not going to ruin any more of the game, so Have Tons of fun playing it! Sorry for Wasting your time. If you actually read all this without, well, Skipping any of it, All I can say is, "Props to you.". Enjoy!
It's a cute little turn based RPG with a charming story involving robots that have just enough AI as to exude personality in the way WALL-E's robot characters did. The fighting moves have just enough variation, and anyone that's played a JRPG in the last 20 years will have no trouble identifying the "physical," "magical" and "AoE" moves. There are some places where you can choose to grind up character stats by revisiting enemies in cyberspace if needed, but you also seem to be able to pursue the story without being gated. The "maze" of the ship and platforming are interesting without being overwhelming. The combat has a bit of a Shadowrun inspired feel to it which will make you grin with nostalgia.
For a cheap little indie RPG it's fun. It's not going to blow your mind, but for a casual time waster it does the job splendidly, hearkening back to simpler times. Sometimes you just need a break from modern real time RPGs that require 100% of your focus and engagement, and this game understands that.
Mr Robot. 10 / 10
A little Robot Adventure in 3D world with puzzles
A great game, a wonderfull story and well executed....
I wish we had more games like this : ))
Play at your own speed....

I really like the sounds that were also used in DeusEx... LOL.... makes me happy : ))

Великолепный изометрический платформер и не очень удачный закос под японскую ролевую игру в одном флаконе. Удели разработчики последнему больше внимания, то игра значительно бы выиграла и, возможно, не была всеми так забыта. Но тут и без этого хорошая музыка, интересные головоломки и классный левел-дизайн.
While I appreciated and enjoyed the 3D isometric platforming aspect of the game (which was admittedly the majority of the game), it's dragged down horribly by an utterly one-dimensional, boring, repetitive RPG-type combat system, as well as an uninspired storyline chock full of sci-fi clichés. While I was able to look past its flaws enough to finish a playthrough of the game, in hindsight, as a whole, it's not a game I would recommend.
a cute puzzle RPG with a lot of depth. it's Zelda quality. And that's not a complement I would give out easily.
Mr. Robot is pretty awesome. It's a strange combo of oldschool isometric platform game à la 8-bit games like Head Over Heels, and JRPG style fights.
This game is the ReBoot of JRPGs - it follows the adventures of computers in an odd, janky world.
A nice little indie production that creates an alloy of traditional JRPG and puzzle solving in the spirit of games such as Solstice for the NES.
The exploration and puzzle solving all takes place inside the massive space ship. As a maintenance droid the player possesses no weapons to defend himself and has to overcome adversity by problem solving and navigation skills. Some of the jumping puzzles can be agrevating but nothing that feels unfair.
The combat system comes into play whenever a security door or an opponent needs to be hacked. The electronic avatar of the player character Asimov possesses the capability to attack the security measures of the system he hacks. Over the course of his adventures he rescues a vide range of avatars that has lost their robotic bodies. They complement Asimovs Jack-of-all-Trades skills with their specialities.
There is not much innovation about the combat compared to some of the more popular Japanese RPGs out there but it does it job well and achieves enough strategic depth for the entertainment value in a product of this size.
The way the game is set up it is possible to solve many puzzles forcefully by hacking most of the opposition making the actual puzzle solving alot easier. A welcome function for players that dont favour jumping skills or the puzzles them selves.
Playtime is between 5 to 15 hours depending on how thorough the ship is searched.
Изометрический платформер, управляется не очень удобно, задачки ставит достаточно примитивные. Случаются погружения в систему взлома терминалов — это пошаговая стратегия, с системой прокачки, чуть поинтереснее. Сюжет есть. Прошёл 2 раза, ничего не зацепило. Не айс.
A bit plodding, but fun most of the time.
I use it as a background game while I catch up on various news podcasts.
a nice 2D iso rpg with turn-based FF-like combat. has its quirks and is sometimes awkward (movement, ui navigation) but overall a pleasant experience and interesting visualisation of the "cyberspace". a little on the cheesy side at times.
This is a great little hidden gem. A mix of puzzle platformer and RPG.
Incredibly short game, but pretty fun and unique. Pick it up if it's on sale.
Первая и самая сильная ассоциация - ВАЛЛ-И, однако схожего мало.
Игра представляет собой коктейль из разных элементов - большую мы путешествуем по кораблю и решаем головоломки (периодически отвлекаясь на простенькие диалоги), и как кардинально другой элемент бои в киберпространстве с вирусами. Сюжет не блещет неожиданными поворотами, но вполне сносен. Головоломки просты, проблемой выступает лишь неудобное управление.
Сделай робота свободным! 7,5 из 10:)
The game that sucked me into subscribing to Gametap. The game that got me to come back to Gametap after they screwed me. Mr. Robot is more than a RPG. By the end of the game you really get close to the main character. The story line is brilliant and the environments are eye candy.
A totally sweet little retro-feeling puzzle/adventure game, but with graphics and play modern enough that it's not annoying. It reminds me a lot of Impossible Mission, actually. And it's the first game in years where I prefer the D-pad over a joystick. Totally worth it on a Steam Sale.
Отличная игрушка (zelda-like)
Kind of crashy and glitchy.
あ…ありのまま 今 起こった事を話すぜ！
「クォータービューのアクションパズルゲームだと思って遊んでいたら、昔のFFみたいなRPGになっていた。」
な…何を言っているのかry
Despite difficulty controlling Mr. Robot's isometric platforming segments, I enjoyed exploring and solving puzzles. While stat-increasing items were occasionally found, grinding in RPG battles thankfully didn't seem to be a requirement due to the amount of healing items. (I have not played in hard mode.)
Unfortunately, Moonpod couldn't get their sharing server to work with Steam so they stripped it from this version. That means there are no custom levels. What's here has some Outer Limits charm, but don't expect it to be particularly epic. You might wish to buy from Moonpod directly as there are no multiplayer functions which require your Steam friends.
Within Steam, the config menu can be found by opening Mr. Robot's Properties in your Library, putting -c in the launch options and running the game. It's all for video. Button adjustments are not included and certain functions appear to be keyboard-only. Gamepads owners may wish to use a third party button mapping program.
Can't beat it
If like me you miss-spent your youth playing isometric adventure games on the zx spectrum (i.e head over heels), you will already know the triumphant joys and inherent frustrations of this game; but I challenge you to find another game anywhere near as rewarding to beat.
A Nostalgic guilty pleasure.
5/5
This is really a puzzle game with RPG elements. It's fun, but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you can get it for $2 or less. Then, if you end up not liking it, you won't feel too guilty. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, and even if it is you'll probably only play it once.
Mr. Robot is a very tame RPG that doesn't try to do anything fancy. In fact, it is an incredibly slow grind with very little sense of progression. The balance is poor as well - on hard difficulty, there is very little you can do to prevent death when you start the game, and by the end, you are so overpowered that the final boss battle is pathetic.
The story, too, is very slow and uninteresting - a rogue AI has taken over a space ship, and you must take it back over using the help of robots that seem to have very little vested interest. None of the characters are appealing, or have any kind of recognizable peronality.
Overall, avoid Mr. Robot unless you can somehow win a bet involving boring RPGs.
1 out of 5 foxes.
Very amusing indie game, this is a combination of traditional turn-based RPG combat and puzzle platforming.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to try something a little different.
If your a fan of Golden Sun, this game is right up your allie with its puzzle solving and platforming prowness.
At its current price its a pritty good catch.
The RPG elements arent the big draw but they do come up and can be rather interesting if slightly tedius.
The only real problem is the controls but all in all the story is actually pritty good and the levels are well designed.
Mr. Robot is a surprisingly clever game that is hard to put in a genre... sort of an rpg like the dungeon parts of Zelda, in that there are rooms that you have to figure out a puzzles involving obstacles, switches, buttons, pushable objects etc in order to open the door to the next room. But there's no combat... except you can 'hack' terminals (and robots) which turns into something resembling the combat found in JRPGs, yet remains interesting.
The main view is a sort of isometric view, pleasantly nostalgic. The puzzles are clever and not too hard. Meanwhile an interesting story is being told, all from the perspective of robots, mechs and other machines that maintain a sleeping human colony ship.
I bought (and Starscape, the other game by Moonpod) before it was available on Steam. I liked it enough that I bought it again on Steam. Nuff said.
Mr. Robot is long, the combat is tedious, the controls are finicky and yet, I keep coming back to it. It's just the right mix of story, puzzle, and combat to be engaging.
It's a fun little platformer puzzle game. The graphics remind me a bit of Startopia (man, I wish that game was released on Steam) and it has a certain charm. The game uses an isometric camera angle as well, so it's similar to the latest Megaman games I guess (the Battle Network games). Same goes for the battle system, which is actually pretty fun. Might be worth it if you have some extra money to spend.

good clean fun that makes you feel like a kid again
Wall-E meets Final Fantasy, with a whole lot of platforming block puzzles and subtle homages thrown in for good measure.
Paid 99 cents for it, I want my dollar back
Podía haber sido un gran juego, un plataformas/puzzles al estilo de los juegos tipo "filmation" de los 80, como Head over Heels, Batman, Knight Lore... Pero no, tenían que joderlo. Una historia sin interés que nos interrumpe con constantes diáologos insustanciales, minijuegos aburridos y combates al estilo JRPG terminan de hundir este título.
Mr. Robot is what happens when you gather together some 90's console RPG's, a couple isometric puzzle-platformers, two copies of WALL-E on DVD, 15 or so pages torn from various influential science fiction novels, and the manual for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, toss them all into an industrial blender, then throw out the result and code a really well polished game based on what would happen if those sorts of metaphors actually worked in real life.
Very fun, if a bit grindy on account of the PRG level-building elements.
A weird hybrid of puzzle, action, jump'n'run, RPG and round-based combat (a la HoMaM).
A real gem, and highly enjoyable experience.
Eines der besten indi games und besten adventure games das ich je gespielt habe!
Solstice 2099
Mr. Robot is a great game based on a ship travelling through the stars to a distant destination. The people on board have been placed in stasis and robots were left to care for them and the ship itself. This game features an isometric view, and a variety of interesting puzzles. My favorite feature is the 'hacks' which allow you to log into the circuit grid of an enemy robot or terminal, and combat viruses and rogue code within the system using a variety of abilities, your own hacks and code, and strategy to try and overcome the battles. It's a great game with multiple facets of play, puzzles, battles, and growing characters that level up and develop skills. I strongly recommend this game to everyone.
I didn't really enjoy this game. It was rather meh. Get the demo before you consider buying this.
Mr. Robot is ok. It's a platformer set on a space ship. The character kind of feel like he's skating on ice the whole time. The puzzles are standard.
A brilliant puzzle game based around a strong storyline that runs on almost any machine (Like an Asus EEE) but looks beautiful when the graphics are turned up to the max.
BEST GAME EVER
Soo sweet and oldschool. I like it.
