Famed Android gaming developer Hexage has released another title on the Android Market today, in the form of ROBOTEK – a very sweet looking game which is being pitched as a “blend of strategy, action and RPG”.
There’s a fantastic trailer up on YouTube, and here’s what it looks like still:
Very nice. Get it via the Android Market. Hexage know what it’s doing, so you’re unlikely to feel disappointed in any way. Especially as it’s free.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case. The Eluga’s powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is running a 4.3″ OLED [...]
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Some camera samples taken with HTC’s quad-core Android monster.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags. To that end, we’ll be covering a few Galaxy Nexus-themed items over the next few weeks, starting with the FlexiShield Case. Review submitted by reader, writer, gamer and occasional [...]

/ May 24, 2011Yeah… ROBOTEK have a cheating AI (3 times in a row) after 30-60minutes of play. It’s like a cheap casino roulette :)) Hexage force you to pay some money. It’s not FREE

Hexage doesn’t FORCE anything on you, however it does seem as though the AI cheats, but I’ve pulled a couple of 5 in a row perfects out of my ass at times.

/ May 24, 2011Gotta love Hexage, Radiant and Buka were the first games I purchased and still play them. Anyone think that the robot on the right looks a bit Portal-esque?

/ May 25, 2011I think it looks more like Patapon on the PSP with the black outlines and the stand-out eyes.

/ June 8, 2011I have played hundreds of games of Robotek (I was foolish enough to pay for upgrades) and this is what I found: The computer opponent cheats.
(1) The rolls are not entirely random. It gets perfect rolls far more often. (2) The computer’s Hacking attacks have a very high chance of working, while yours hardly ever works. (3) The game is stacked against you the player. There are not enough enemy nodes to level you quickly enough to fight the tougher nodes. The gap will keep getting wider, unless you keep paying real money to upgrade.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this game.

/ June 20, 2011You want to play this game and succeed, I got the real cheat you want.
There is a flaw in the engine.
(example)
You spend 50 energy to attack a node, and if you win you gain 65 energy, if you lose you dont get any energy.
These “loses” will quickly drain your energy reserves forcing you to spend money to buy more energy.
BUT… the flaw is that the game does not remove the energy you need to spend to attack someone until it knows the outcome of the battle.
So if you are almost dead or can see that the tides of war are not in your favor, you can just close the app and reopen it. All your energy will still be there, and you will be ready to fight again.
