Battle Botz: Can it Fight it’s Way Onto Your iDevice?
Welcome to the battlefield, Bot Commander! In this game of intense battle action, you are in control to lead your small army of BattleBotz to victory. Select the right BattleBotz, choose tactics and weapons wisely do the right moves and attack cleverly. Only then you will survive against your enemies!
A turn base strategy game, BattleBotz has three different game modes: Endless Battlefield where you have the chance to stand against waves and waves of enemies to see how long 
you last. There’s Player vs. Player which is a fast mode that sets up a game against a human enemy of yours. And last but not least, Custom game, where you can configure ll the game options on your own, including the amount of teams, the amount of both, the map etc.
The Bot is your controllable unit of destruction and each bot starts with a predefined movement gear, meaning you can only move around a certain amount of spaces. You have a battery that feeds your movement gear and your weapons so you must choose wisely to make sure that you maneuver strategically through the map while keeping your weapon locked and loaded.
The app boasts sleep graphics on the terrain and the bots themselves don’t look too shabby. The environments surrounding your army is a little dull, and nothing really to write home about. There are 8 dif
ferent upgradable Botz, over 20 weapons systems reaching from the Power Chainsaw to the Nuclear Rocket, 13 unique maps of gameplay, multitouch navigational map. good soundtrack, and online leaderboards. One thing that I especially like the ranking system replicated from games such as Call of Duty and Halo, which basically keeps your overall rank for all to see and as you gain experience, you level up in promotion. Pretty sweet, eh?
The major gripe I have was overall the game just doesn’t add anything new to the turn-based strategy genre. Yes, it has the ranking system that no other game has, and a large array of weapons, as well as great looking visuals, but mixed in all together for some reason I just felt underwhelmed. The gameplay is just normal, average and it just didn’t stand out to me. Whether that be because I’m not a huge turn-based strategy game fanatic or not, you as the gamer can choose whether to believe me or not.
In summary, I recommend this game to those action fans that have a special bond with turn-based strategy games like Mecha Wars. If not, maybe you should wait for a lite version because I’m afraid this game might excite some, and bore the rest.

Ah why cant I open this in AppStore??
redoing website will fix..
Uniwar was the first thing I thought of when I saw this one, too. Battle Botz has a more appealing style to me than Uniwar, though.
I’m curious how you would compare this game to Uniwar. And if it has a similar asyncronous multiplayer mode.
Haven’t had the pleasure of playing Uniwar but I’ve heard rumblings that they r similar but uniwar has a lot more variety and depth
