Press reviews: “Bad Bots is a well put together and highly enjoyable retro styled indie title brought to us by a small development team... I definitely recommend giving this game a chance.” Capsule Computers “Bad Bots lives up to everything it claims to be: A retro, 2D side scrolling shooter, which brings up nostalgia while maintaining excellent gameplay and graphics. When you have a solid game like this, time flies while you’re killing bots and trying to save the world.” Gaming Shogun “From the first second I turned the game on until the last moment I had with the campaign mode, I had fun... I would recommend the game to anyone.” 4/5 – Operation Rainfall
