Is Code Rivals: Robot Programming Battle worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players interested in programming concepts who prefer visual code to written syntax
- Fans of robot combat who want to build command sequences before battles
- Puzzle-minded players who enjoy testing and correcting their own systems
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a story-led game may find the emphasis on programming and combat scenarios limiting.
- Players seeking varied activities beyond constructing code and applying it in battles may find the scope narrow.
- Players who want to practice a particular text-based programming language may prefer a game that uses its syntax.
Our take on Code Rivals: Robot Programming Battle
The visual node system avoids text syntax, but that choice leaves out practice with writing code in a specific programming language. The focus is on arranging and interpreting commands visually, with robot combat as the setting for applying them.
What is Code Rivals: Robot Programming Battle?
Code Rivals uses visual, flow-chart-style programming to set commands for robots in combat scenarios.
Players build command sequences and work with programming concepts such as loops, functions, and variables without writing text-based syntax. The game puts those instructions to work in a physics-based combat simulation with robots and combat vehicles. Rather than using abstract imagery and puzzles built just for the game, it places the code in realistic-looking robot environments. Its focus is on constructing and interpreting visual programs, then seeing how they operate during battles. The vendor says the game aims to introduce programming skills that can be used beyond the game.
How Code Rivals: Robot Programming Battle plays
